    Sorry I haven't commented yet this week. Actually, I wrote out a big long post and then navigated away from it and lost it :s (something I warn students about all the time). So, in the spirit of the challenge, I figured I had spent enough time on social media for the day and hit my anti-procrastination efforts.

    So the condensed version of my original post is that I'm a natural procrastinator, but I've been able to make a good deal of progress over the years. Lists (but reasonable ones) and deadlines are my best friends. I often build deadlines into projects so that I have to get something done. This week, I decided to do something that doesn't really have a deadline - writing poetry. I always mean to do this, but never get to it. I decided to take the incremental approach. I'm trying to write a Haiku (nice and short) each day. I didn't get it done every day, but I have 6 haiku to show for the week.


    Sounds like you’ve found strategies that can keep procrastination in check, @77tes. I think deadlines are really helpful.

    And great job writing some poetry!

    So I dug out my video camera but have put off charging it and finding a blank SD card. I’m on my way to do that now and will WILL myself to start tomorrow (lol...yes, I even plan my procrastination!).
