Real-World Flops That Prove Failure is a Key Ingredient of Creativity
But the sad fact is that knowing this fatal flaw, and acknowledging it, doesn't really seem to make it easier for me to shut down the email and buckle down to a job I dread!
Thanks for the much-needed poke with a stick!
Mikey: Ditto.
So, maybe all the obsessive email-checking we do is more in the order of reassurance, like hugging a teddy bear or checking that the life savings are still tucked down safely under the mattress? And perhaps it's not really procrastination at all?
Hey, call me Queen of De Nial: I can justify anything! ;-)
Ironically, ever since posting this comment, I've been in email purgatory with a server that's suddenly bouncing my emails. Bad news for a freelancer!

I'm totally guilty of this. I regularly blow off more important things that aren't very fun to do (i.e. WORK) in favor of reading RSS feeds, checking email, social networks, and Twitter.
I can admit I'm a procrastinator, but that doesn't stop me from continuing to procrastinate.
and wish to assit as far as possible.
