After the storm, things DO settle, but one must always act in order to do so, so my advice: Write your own path instead accepting as things come and rattle.

But by all means do rattle and curse when you earned the right to do that, keeping in mind if you havent done anything, you would be wasting what could be a life changing opportunity (and you never know when those come most of the time).

Dont wait…like Nike says - Just Do It

And now for the music that I was suposed to talk about and used a jump-start to this whole post:

How does it feel
To treat me like you do
When youve laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are

I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They will turn away no more

And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But Im quite sure that youll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasnt for your misfortunes
Id be a heavenly person today

And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting

I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold
(grows cold, grows cold, grows cold)

This has craploads of potential, the learning curve ain’t that hot for those that don’t know basis of Wordpress Template system and PHP though!

If you wish to (try) to cut on the Browsing related procrastination you should take a look into PageAddict, this little gem does the following:

1. Track the amount of time you spend actively using Firefox (duh!);
2. Allows you to create different groups and tag the sites you visit (so you can see where you are wasting most of your time);
3. Allows you to setup a daily time limit for each group individually or more extreme just block them;
4. Easily blocks (like said above) sites without having you mess with .hosts file;
5. Generates History Report and Graph so you can see how much time you are wasting (see below)
6. Its free, easy to use and pretty useful;

I will be recommending over time, other programs that a long with PageAddict, can help you control and monitor the amount of time you spend on your computer.

Give it a shot and if you dont mind let me know what you think of it

Cheers

Its pretty scary the amount of security fixes/patches that are required lately, in order to keep Wordpress away from the script-kiddies (and “others”)…

For people that also rely on it, get the latest Wordpress 2.3.3

And while this is quite ironic I’ve decided to after upgrade the blog that is still in “hibernation”, to make….a post

I will be making a new post in order to separate things.

R.

Guess I was wrong and you cant just tackle and easily beat that bug called - PROCRASTINATION.

At least not as easy has I though by the time I was going to start HAVE L.S.D (which stands for Lots of Stuff to Do).

Its ironic to say the least that a blog whose main topic is Productivity and all about being Proactive has been paused…even before it started.

Nevertheless I guess I will alter a bit my purpose with it and hope that it can still be somewhat helpful for fellow procrastinators, I do intend I mean I will detail my obstacles, findings, tips, research, results, and so on all regarding the main topic that basically means busting your ass and get to do things.

For now I’m just going to list a post that goes directly to the point, properly titled: Do it Fucking Now

Need to act, need to do!

Edit: The first test-post, decided to leave it alive so I can get a grip and reality check about things.
