Procrastination -- Goodbye! For now, that is, until ....

I've been making a sincere effort to not procrastinate so much.  Mainly with emails.  My routine with those lately have been to let them pile up until I have "more time" to read them, which of course never happens, so I end up with 80 - 100 emails and an overwhelming feeling that I'll never get through them.  And guess what?  It's so much easier to just read the 4 or 5 per day that need to get read, and delete all the junk (yes, even all the gardening ones with all the pretty plants).  About half the "jokes" I get are ones that I won't read anyway because they're either attachments or links to some site that I'm not going to go visit.  So sheesh, Pam, what was the big deal with letting them pile up?

Same with writing.  Have been trying to force myself to write even when I don't know what I'm going to say or where the story is going to go.  Force myself to revise when revising is what I hate the most.  Results:  One story almost completely revised (it would be 100 %, but I ran out of time) and another story at THE END of draft 1 (and this is the story that I started at least a year ago and only got about a third of the way in before I lost my way).  So, Yay, me!
