Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

That happens to me a lot. It's been happening more and more lately.

I would be writing an essay, when suddenly I get the urge to check up on a vend I have up. I go there and I notice it hasn't sold, but right when I'm about to minimize the window, I notice that little bubble by my head telling me about some PM I just got. So I go and read it and sit there thinking up some witty reply. Next thing I know, a half-hour has come and gone.

Well, I suppose it could be worse. I could be sitting in front of the computer all day refreshing the subscriptions page (as I once did way back when). At least I actually got something accomplished in that half-hour.

The problem with this that while I get distracted, I tend to have other things I should be doing. I suppose this is my own form of procrastination: I just lose the motivation to do my work and I slither on to Gaia for a moment or two to rejuvenate my brain juices.

Anyway, I'll likely look back at this and laugh. This entry's not meant to be a serious or depressing one anyway.
