Cleaning my flat vs. Writing Essays
1. Start essay
2. Ooh, I'd work better if my desk was tidy
3. Start clearing desk
4. Ooh, I might as well do something fun while I'm sorting this out
5. Put TV on
6. Finish job, halfway through the episode... well, I might as well find more cleaning to do while this is going on...
7. Episode finished. It'd be a shame not to have the whole room this tidy, and the program on next looks interesting...
8. Room is spotlessly tidy, it is now 1am. Better get some sleep!
9. Repeat as needed.

Hmm
I think I wrote this post in my sleep. While I was putting off something else.

It's me!!
Yes, you are soooooooo right.

Sometimes I even put off the cleaning, and let it build up until a time when I know I will be busy and will need distraction.

Yup
my life wavers between having a hideously messy flat (no essays) and having the cleanest flat, ever (and essays.) There's no middle ground. :P

It's amazing how much effort we put into putting things off.
Far more effort than the original thing we were supposed to be doing would have taken.

I know!
It's kinda sad, but I think there's a lot of things that we just wouldn't do if we were SUPPOSED to be doing them! That's why cleaning was invented. ;)
