Wednesday again. The evening that I set aside to work on a particular project...

Maybe just one episode of #deaddeaddemons first. Just one. What's one little episode?

I had a lot to do for work this week, but during the break I cleaned my shower cubicle, cleaned grout and then reorganized my bookshelf.

We usually associate procrastination with unpleasant tasks, but I often put things off when good things are on the horizon. The prospect of achieving success or an improvement in my circumstances can cause me to over-analyse everything and find reasons to delay proceedings, which can hold me back in life...

When I was a kid, my family knew someone who purposefully waited until the last possible second to file their tax return. As in, he’d mail it off just minutes before the post office closed on April 15.

I haven’t seen him for many years, but I stll think of him every April 15 and hope he makes the deadline yet again.

What is the best possible use of my time today, and more importantly, what can be done to avoid it?

7 April 2025

Here’s a thought: for every inaction, there seems to be an equal and opposite inaction. Take my home security system, for example. For a couple of weeks now, it has been alerting me that a break-glass sensor needs a new battery. The replacement battery? I’ve had it all along. In fact, if I glance over my left shoulder, I can see it sitting on the corner of my other desk with three of its companions. My failure to spend five minutes replacing the battery has resulted in precisely nothing happening. Well, except for the security company calling to upsell me on new equipment—a generous offer I politely declined. What they didn’t offer, of course, was to replace the battery themselves. Maybe today’s the day I’ll finally take care of it.
