edw519 has one form to complete, two database tables to configure, four functions to test and an app to deploy today. But instead of getting started, he minimizes his test environment and Textpad and opens a browser window to Hacker News. He knows he has 6 hours of work and only 7 hours before the Super Bowl and he understands that he'll probably be too drunk to program after the game. But he is too caught up in stories of software development, scientific journeys, industry trends, the pratfalls of rich and famous hackers, and silly articles about procrastination.
edw519 is lazy. He should close his browser and get back to work.
(Simple story, but too boring for a scientific study.)

And sigils -- because tagging's always been underrated. (P.S. I'll trade you for my PHP crap.) -- EDIT: OT: Have you ever gotten used to Textpad 5?
- apollo 16y agoAs your first sentence indicates, in this scenario you have specific, attainable goals. Just getting to that point goes a long way towards beating procrastination.
