It doesn't always strike gold eh. I tried it again just now and find myself half-reading an entry on some bloke called Maris Martinsons - at least I won't exactly be bored for the next 15 minutes then

Yeah, I try a few times until I got to something good, then I link, link, link and somehow end up at 'how to boil an egg' from 'Mary Poppins'

Procrastination owns my ****ing life, I hate it. It has for many many years. In college in psychology class I even wrote a paper on procrastination, hoping it would help me. I wrote it the day before it was due.

I get on message boards and research music all day long. I get distracted way too easily. At work, I put off big tasks in favor of small mindless tasks. I have a short attention span, and suffer from depression. Both of those are death sentences when it comes to procrastination.

I suck at life.

I don't get time to do any at work.

The time I do it the most is when i'm tired but I don't quite feel like going to bed yet.

I just usually start reading useless infomation. Yesterday it was the history of the Mongol empire , the day before it was cheesemaking. Last week was disused London underground stations.

I'd like to pretend that I just pick sites at random to read but I don't. I actually came online for the sole purpose of finding websites about cheesemaking

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that

. Sometimes I spend my time doing something somewhat productive, such as drawing or playing guitar or drums.

I read random wiki articles all the time. On people/celebrities and just about anything that interests me. I also look up baseball stats and look up tons of stuff on evolution/creationism or just science stuff in general. Oh, and forums own my life these days, at least at night time.
