so! excitingly, my procrastination has a very serious psychological reason behind it- i am afraid of success. i know this, because i just read it on the internet whilst procrastinating. ergo, i am afraid of successful housekeeping- probably because it puts me in the role of "housewife" and i resist this, being particularly unkeen on marriage to an inanimate object, especially a draughty one with rising damp. what a fascinating insight into my psychological makeup.

there is none more valuable tool to pyschological self diagnosis, and indeed procrastination, than the internet. for example, this morning in the time that i could have been uselessly pursuing the ridiculous bourgeouis goals of clean clothes and a habitable living space, i have accessed information on how i should implement systems analysis in order to streamline my laundry activities; i have found out what barack obama had for breakfast; how one might employ heated rollers as makeshift pain relief; how much sky is going to cost me this month, and that an old friend of mine now keeps monkeys in rural buckinghamshire.

to label the gathering of these shiny pieces of information as mere time wasting, we must quantify the value of each them against the assumed benefits of changing the bedsheets and toilet cleaning, and therefore more time must be devoted to developing the infrastructure of this proposed assesment. so now, really, to do this properly, i have to develop a spreadsheet and a experience-value cross referencing system...

i should probably just get on with cleaning the fridge out.
