Escaping from results and discussions


It’s too easy to procrastinate, to let my mind wonder over irrelevant nonsense; things I’d rather be doing than write this thesis. I’ve already spent one hour doing yoga practice and another hour and a half of cooking dinner and preparing food for tomorrow just to get away from the ‘results and discussion’ Chapter. Now I’m forced in front of the computer again....and what do I do?...Write a blog post!
Isn’t it interesting how we crave anything but what is right in front of us? How we want to run miles away from our reality to some other dimension? I’m constantly doing this and it’s ever so hard to do what I need to be doing. Especially the more urgent the tasks become the more distracted I become! My mind has a mind of its own. :( or maybe I have exceptionally poor will power. Or maybe I'm in the wrong profession. Or a combination of all of these.Whatever the case, I'm in a dire situation.

  1. hehe.. sounds like something I've always done, and still would do. :D Agree 100% sis. But I've read somewhere that it's fine to have such distractions.. once in a while. It's during this time when you 'forget' your problem, that your brain + inner mind starts working on it without your knowledge and give you the solution when you return to your problem. When I first read it, I thought the author was joking. But he's right, and it has worked for me too, most of the time. :)

  2. Yes it's true. If your mind is resisting a lot it means it needs a break..:)
