Productive Procrastination

Isn't it mind baffling the amount of other more productive things we can come up to do with before doing the one actual thing we should be doing? I'm musing about this as I am in a caffeine stupor at 11:30 at night. Suddenly, there are fifty things I didn't know I needed to do that I need to do. I sweep into action organizing small things, redecorating, and rearranging things. There's always cleaning to do when there's a paper on hand. What is it that drives us to waste our time so productively instead of cutting to the chase? I could just be playing DS and watching TV at this point as well, yet I continue to upload CDs onto Itunes, rearrange my class folders, update my check book, and do a myriad of other busy tasks. Perhaps, its the ability to feel like we're “doing something” which translates directly into “bullshitting” to ourselves. And all the while the laundry spins... to clean or not to clean, that is the question.
