BAM. paper done. Editing tomorrow morning. That was actually a lot easier than expected, let's hope it makes sense. Would not have occurred without the knowledge of the GREATEST program for procrastinators of all time. OF ALL TIME. A lovely free program for macs called Self Control. Maggie told me about it, and I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. You set up a "blacklist" of all the sites you generally procrastinate on and then set a predetermined time that they are blocked from your computer. It can be anywhere from 10 minutes to 20 hours. No matter what you do you can't access them from your computer, not even by shutting the thing down! No more refreshing facebook fourteen times a minute, no more reading my tumblr dashboard for what I think is ten minutes and turns out to be an hour. I have been saved from myself!However I still managed to procrastinate a bit, as my mom has said "we used to manage it before the internet too!" Here is a list of things I felt were more important than my paper;
- making coffee
- dancing on my bed to Grace Kelly by Mika
- peeling my nail polish off
- brushing my teeth
- changing my shirt three times
- drawing this picture of a cat
- stretching
- Three "mental breaks" to sing We Used to Vacation by The Cold War Kids
Check out this song, it is awesome and reminds me of all my beautiful friends back home.
