You know it’s that time of the semester again when you start seeing blogs about comps and facebook status messages about final exams and papers. Everyone’s definitely feeling the crunch – no one is exempted.
Here’s what I want to know – does anyone else have a problem getting motivated sometimes?
How do you deal when you’re tempted with procrastination?
I have a major paper due this Friday that’s worth more of a percentage of my grade than I’d like to admit; I just put in another 10-hour day at work and I’m having just the most awful time getting motivated to write.
Here’s a rundown of things I’ve done to avoid writing:

It wasn’t something I’d planned in advance, clearly, as 6pm saw me hiking through the woods in my suit and high heels to go check out a monument .2 miles off the tour route.
Now I’m back at my hotel & thinking about going to bed so I’ll be ready for my 6:30am meeting. One thing is for certain – tomorrow night I’ve really got to f-o-c-u-s!!
