So I installed this program that summarizes how you spend your time when you're on your computer (http://www.rescuetime.com) . After tagging some stuff, it will tell you how productive you've been, along with the activity you've spent the most time on.
I've learned that in the last 3 days, I've spent 8.5 hrs procrastinating, mostly in the "social networking" category. Damn Facebook. Even better: it told me that I worked all of 21.6 minutes today. Dang. I was at school for 6 hours. In my defense, it doesn't include stuff that isn't done on the computer - like reading. I did write that 1/2 page of the assessment report...okay, it was mostly titles and subject headings. And a few incomplete sentences. But I started it! That's the first step...
Does anyone else start a paper or assignment by opening a document, putting a title on it, save and close it? It makes me feel accomplished because I've thought about it enough to reserve a document for it (ok, i have low standards for accomplishment). Then I can see the icon on my desktop and and tell people I've started working on it...and I'm not lying.
