h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well it's now 1.15 in the morning on sunday night/monday morning and I have to give a presentation tomorrow/today on the Allied victory in 1918 and I haven't done a stroke of work for it so far and I'm still finding reasons to not prepare it.

Really have to get my act together on it. I normally leave things to the last minute because I work better under pressure but this is getting a bit silly. Why can I always find something better to do than to do my work, even when I know that it's going to cause me real hassle in the end? Now, I'm going to have to stay up all night to get this finished so as not to make a complete prat of myself tomorrow. Not good, yet I've managed to avoid it all weeekend. I cleaned the flat from top to bottom this weekend, even the two bathrooms (which I normally hate doing) and the oven (which I NEVER do!).

I think I've got a real mental block about getting down to things before the screaming last minute. The thing is when I actually get down to it, I usually really enjoy my work and then regret that I haven't got more time to spend on it and actually do it really properly. Stupid, huh? The sad thing is even this little rant is an avoidance exercise. But maybe if I leave it here, it'll remind me of the hassle I put myself through each time I put off doing my work til later. You never know it might happen!

Note to self:
