How Not to Complete an Assignment

When I have a complex assignment to complete, in this case an analysis of a survey for a consulting firm in Japan, I get a lot of other great things accomplished.  For example, yesterday afternoon, instead of working on my project, which will when completed result in an actual paycheck, I cleaned my refrigerator from top to bottom.  I removed every item, every shelf, every drawer.  It is now a thing of beauty, cleanliness, and organization.  Unfortunately, it does not come with a paycheck.  Back to the grindstone!

So clean!

    I do the same thing sometimes - what I want to do instead of what I should be doing. For example, I should be catching up on my bookkeeping instead of web surfing.

    LOL! Great post. I do the exact same thing. I work on everything else besides what I actually need to get done. But hey, now your fridge is organized! =)

    I had to laugh when I read this entry. When I was teaching school, and grades or IEPs were due, my desk would suddenly become very clean. Maybe that is why my desk is so messy now... no more deadlines.

    Oh, I so know what you are talking about! Even when logic tells me if I just START, that dreaded project will be done all the sooner. Sigh. But fantastic job on the refrigerator - the cleaning of which is a dreaded job of its own sort!

    Dough, Dirt & Dye
