Is my problem poker? or lack of time management skills? Had a day off yesterday for the Jewish holiday, and my half-day off today. Did I:
- do laundry?
- clean up
- get groceries?
- work on lesson plans?
- update the TWS site?
- create concepts for the GLO site?
- work on the long-anticipated upgrade for my site?
NO
Instead I played poker (note to self playing poker out of boredom = the quickest way to lose, second only to playing drunk). I also knit some (obsession #2) and watched Popular on dvd.
I can't pay attention to the game if I have all these unfinished to-do list items hanging over my head; but I so looooove using poker as a procrastination device.
My own personal Catch-22. yay.

LOL..what did you expect! If you don't get to the list before you sit down at the laptop, you'll never get it done. As least with IRL you have a certified excuse not to do anything else as you are away from it all!
