I work in procrastination like great masters work in oils…

In case you’re wondering why I’m such an infrequent blogger.  I really mean to write more often…I do…it’s just that (insert exuse here).   

Generally it has to do with being too busy editing or shooting or writing scripts for TV spots, but generally…it’s just that I must…absolutely must have one area in life wherein I allow myself to procrastinate!   The thing is I’m good at it!  I’m a master of distraction, a captain of self indulgence, an expert in excuses! 

Unfortunately, rather than just having one task where I routinely slack, I have three areas of severe and targeted procrastination; let’s call them areas of STP for short!  On a weekly basis, I regularly put off 1. calling my Mother when I’m supposed to (that’s every Sunday…sorry I missed last week, Mom), 2. cleaning the house, and 3. blogging. 

I guess this means that you should be very glad you’re not my Mother, I haven’t invited you to my house, and you have other entertaining options when you have the desire to read another person’s innnermost thoughts.   

Long story short though, as I sit here, at my desk, feeling immense guilt for my lack of blogging timeliness, I’m looking for advice!  Is there a trick that you use to update your posts more regularly?   Should I start blogging from my phone (get ready for severely mis-spelled and nonsensical posts), or is there anything else I should do to help my lazy self get off my hiney and write already? 

Or not to neglect my other two areas of STP (although, why stop now), if you’ve got advice on how to get me to clean the house more often, or on how to call my Mom when I’m supposed to, I wouldn’t mind a few pointers in those departments either!   I’m sure my Mother would appreciate it also.  =)

Talk to you next week…hopefully!
