I have a terrible time with self-discipline. Very hard to make myself do anything, at times. Anything that stresses me out or intimidates me, anything I dread, gets pushed aside so I can procrastinate on something else. Mostly I fritter time away online (although I removed some of the larger time-frittering activities recently.)

I’ve been working on my avoidance issues (avoiding work, avoiding things I don’t want to deal with) this week by forcing myself to work, to write, to brainstorm, to work more. So far it’s worked out well; I’m getting more done, and while I can’t claim any amazing productivity yet, I’m moving toward completion on one project and catching up on the rest. I worked for a while today, and now I’m stopping that and working on my writing for the rest of the day.

My blogging, here and elsewhere, has slumped while I try to clear some work hurdles, but I’m hoping to fix that this coming week. (Discipline, again. This time to schedule posts at my other blogs so I don’t need to scramble on the day of posting.)
