Procrastination

The art of being creative is not something I spend a lot of time thinking about. It seems to come naturally to me I just sit for a long enough period of time and ideas fly through my head. Given enough time I will always find something to write about. But there are two things that always prove my nemesis. First if I have a short period of time to think about what I am doing, eg a blog which I do daily. And second procrastination.

The first I am attempting to overcome with projects like the blog and Shadowrun but the latter still gives me problems. Procrastination is so bad for me that I actually have a heirarchy of procrastination. I will do almost anything to avoid school work or study but the things which I would do to avoid school work and study, such as read that other book I have always wanted to read or exercising or cleaning, get procrastinated away when I actually have time due to going out with friends or wasting time on the computer. Its not that I have a problem with reading or cleaning or exercising its just that I am easy to persuade to do something that requires no thinking at all.

Now how do I go about tackiling this problem? I recognize that I have it which is supposed to be the first step but even now I am procrastinating excercising, housecleaning and school reading to write this blog. Unless I have one of my rare days of drive I don't escape the cycle of procrastination and certain things just don't get done. I don't have an answer that is satisfactory for this question yet so I will have to leave this blog a frustrated ramble as opossed to an advice offering solution. Argh!
