Why I Make Progress at a Snail's Pace

Me

What I Should Be Doing:

1. Working on my thesis
2. Studying for my neuropsychological assessment midterm


What I Would Rather Be Doing:

1. Watching Mad Men (after finally drinking the kool-aid and becoming addicted two weeks ago)
2. Dicking around on Facebook
3. Reading back-email digests from Gothamist, Jezebel, and Apartment Therapy
4. Going to the Errol Morris or Paul Newman series at my new favorite museum
5. Watching any/all of the 121 titles (literally) on my Netflix view instantly queue
6. Washing the dishes (seriously)
7. Figuring out which Internship sites I want to apply to (not necessary for at least one more year)
8. Updating my CV (because I need to apply to externships again in like 6 months)
9. Chipping away at my giant stack of articles snatched from old issues of the New York Times
10. Chipping away at my (altogether separate) stack of New York Times Magazines
11. Sleeping
12. Reading the Murakami novel I bought a month or two ago
13. Listening to the 294 podcasts I currently have downloaded
14. Snuggling with my cats and/or boyfriend

And, of course:

15. Writing blog posts that completely perpetuate my refusal to get anything productive accomplished, complete with oodles of unnecessary links just to draw the writing process out a tiny bit more

Thanks for enabling me.
