The Sunshine

I spent the first part of the day on campus pretending to be a grad student who has it together enough to be speaking about research on a panel for a department recruitment event. I think I pulled it off. And it was nice to see some peeps who, like me, are fighting the good fight against procrastination and to meet some new, wide-eyed recruits who, unlike me, will probably finish this program in a respectable time frame. Now I'm at one of those challenging moments in the day where I have 45 minutes of childcare left and don't really know which of several projects on which to get started. And I am wondering if I should just call it quits on the brain work and go walk in the sunshine for a while. The answer seems obvious.

Yeah, it's obvious.
My problem with small amts of time is that I convince myself that I can't get anything done in small amts of time. I need long free days to get anything done. That's why I rarely get anything done.

What's going on with you and the challenge? Please explain what's happening.
