But I find that, in my case, faith and shame combine and there I am, days or hours from the deadline, pumping out page after page of crap but consoling myself that it's okay if it sucks - I ran out of time! <BR/><BR/>Previous drafts of my most recent project have definitely suffered from this. But lately, I've decided to quit effing around and just do things and I have to say, I'm finding it delightful! So even on days that I'm not "feelin' it", I can still get things done and not feel ashamed at the end of the day.<BR/><BR/>That said, I totally saw Sandra Bullock on Oprah.

If they...I can totally relate to the shame factor! If they sold shame by the gallon, I'd be first in line (and done my dissertation before you!). But, sometimes I think that I waste more time shame-crastinating than I do working, so I say...forget searching for motivation. The best motivation is, after all, action! Don't ask how, don't ask why. Just do. ;)Shellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171154974939506617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904708233790394058.post-5072843741647510192008-04-22T18:31:00.000-07:002008-04-22T18:31:00.000-07:00You know, you can just buy a dissertation off the ...You know, you can just buy a dissertation off the Internet - satisfaction guaranteed! Wish I'd know that before I wrote mine, would have saved me sooo much time!<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm not procrastinating on marking exams by catching up on my blog reading. Why would you even think that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
