Wasting Time

I'm really good at wasting time. I can find an internet site that has to be visited, a feed that needs to be checked for updates, a Craigslist that needs to be viewed. There's always email, the weather, another cup of coffee or, yes, going back to the beginning of this list and looking to see which books have been added to the library site. Spyware removal, podcast listening--it all takes time and what have I accomplished? I've wasted time and then I say, Oh, I was busy. I didn't have time to ----

This is true of the podcasting and it is true of my writing. I need to stop wasting time and get on with doing. The way to get rid of a bad habit is substitute a good one.

So I didn't check the feeds or the email. I sat down to write a post since I'm a blogger, after all, and I haven't been blogging. Now that I feel good about myself, I can have another cup of coffee and -- oh yes, listen to that file I need to prepare for podcasting.
