OCD meet Procrastination

Posted by: James Laws In: Odds & Ends

It seems that every few months I come to the same revelation. I have a terrible case of project OCD with a heaping helping of prcrastination. What this means is that once I am in a project I can’t seem to tear my self away from it untill it is complete but it also means that I sometimes get hung up on the wrong projects and can’t seem to break away.

It seems that every few weeks, and many times more frequently, I have to review where my time is going. I am in one of those periods right now and I really wish I would have done it sonner.

Do any of you suffer from a similar dark epedemic? What secrets have you learned to combat it? I would love to hear your thouhts?

I’m with you. I haven’t figured out a good way to combat it either. I’m great at making lists and schedules and plans to manage my time better, but not nearly as good at following through.

Oh, yeah- in theory it helps me to figure out what my goals are and what’s most important for me to be focusing on, then ask myself if what I’m doing at a given moment is really helping me with any of those goals. But in practice, I usually forget to ask myself that question, lol. Or I can find some way to justify and make whatever I’m spending too much time on “fit” with one of those goals. :P

    About

    Something has been happening inside me that I have a very difficult time explaining. It has been happening for several months now and keeps getting more and more dramatic. I am haunted when I sleep. I am haunted while I'm awake. I am haunted when I watch TV and when I drive around town. I am haunted when I talk to friends and I am haunted when I sit in silence.

    I am sad and angry by what I see around me and brought to tears when I see someone do something about it. My heart is broken, my mind is overwhelmed and my body is weak. I must do more. I must help others do more. I must help other become haunted.
