Soon a few hours have gone by and no work has been done, which measures the pressure starts to mount. I always find myself either translating like there's no tomorrow to meet a deadline, at a furious pace, or locked in that terrible procrastination loop of "I can't do any work/ neither can I do any exercise/ cook a proper meal/ get out of the house/ have any fun". When the loop is over, the deadline looms. And so on, and so forth. <br />Monday morning deadlines are the worst thing ever. I worked non-stop last weeked from 6 am (yes, 6 am) until 8 am the following day (no, no sleep at all). It's amazing it made any sense at all, but in fact reading back over that document, I did a very good job on no sleep. I think the stress/ caffeine overload/ deadline anxiety really gets the neurons jumping. <br /><br />OK, sorry for hijacking the comments box. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387352645682544869.post-66097258783014077432010-02-18T12:07:47.320+01:002010-02-18T12:07:47.320+01:00Maybe you could earn a second income as a self hel...Maybe you could earn a second income as a self help guru?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806032318025702112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387352645682544869.post-70137301311578414602010-02-18T12:05:22.240+01:002010-02-18T12:05:22.240+01:00Agree with Laura, when I was unemployed, this list...Agree with Laura, when I was unemployed, this list would've been quite handy.Koriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265288130563481920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387352645682544869.post-17225280762110846692010-02-18T11:57:07.343+01:002010-02-18T11:57:07.343+01:00An excellent list - despite being an unemployed, s...An excellent list - despite being an unemployed, so much still applies to me.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806032318025702112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387352645682544869.post-55117207901165670242010-02-18T08:32:01.985+01:002010-02-18T08:32:01.985+01:00Really funny about the layabouts!

And I totally agree on the jeans--too restricting to sit in all day! <br /><br />You are not afraid to be dead honest.
