How was your week, my dears? Mine has been crazy busy. Two classes to teach, a chapter deadline for my PhD thesis is drawing uncomfortably near, my car needed a little fix, I’m practising for a dance competition, and of course, there’s the blog!
I’m sure you know what I’m talking about – some days or weeks are just stuffed to the brim with all the things. It can be lots of activities you like and even feel passionate about, but sometimes, they just add up unfavourably; throw in some lunches with friends and a few attempts to not entirely neglect your family, and it all becomes a bit too much.
Perversely, these are the times when I procrastinate the most, because being conscious of all these things that need to be done and the creeping dread of whether I can even manage all that before awful consequences ensue just makes me want to sit on the sofa, drink cocoa and watch 6-hour-long Jane Austen film adaptions (I’m looking at you, Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth). Or surf pinterest all day and wonder which room I want to redecorate the most, and what it would look like, and where I would buy one of these gorgeous striped rugs I keep seeing.
