I’m Such A Procrastinator!
So I’m on a wild-goose-chase.
A chase to get everything that I can onto my computer. Which probably means nothing to you, dear reader, at this point in time. I’m going to change that, of course.
So, I have a whole bunch of papers. I always have. I write a lot, you see. And I save it all. All of it – unless it’s a to-do list. Those get set aside, to-do, and never get done, then get thrown away. Because by the time I get back to them, it’s too late to do the stuff. But everything else gets saved. I have a folder in this folder-hangy thing that gets stuff put in it, and after a while, like a year or so, I go through it and do with it what I see fit. First, like freshman year, I used to put them all in a secret hiding spot. But then I’d forget about them all, so I upgraded to a binder. But then, the binder got too big, and I was using like a three-inch one. So, I mean, I was having issues. So I decided to go through it all and just keep the important, good ones, that had real meaning, other than just the normal stuff. So I did that. Might I mention that this is all loose-leaf paper – actual notebooks are a different story for later. Anyway, after that idea didn’t work out too well, I said screw it and just typed all of it up and saved it on my computer. Yes, right now, I have the most important things to me sitting in a folder on my Desktop. How smart am I? <–This is the main reason why I want an external hard-drive, or I’ll even go with some CD-RWs. Not like I need it off my computer, but I need it saved somewhere else, just in case – I’m totally paranoid that I’ll loose my information somehow.
But anyway, I now have a whole bunch of stuff that doesn’t really fit into this folder-hangy-system that I’ve got going now, and I need to put somewhere. Which, the logical place is the computer. So, I have to type it all up. Which, there’s a really good amount of stuff to be typing up.
Then, there’s also my other stuff that I’m wanting to type up. For about a year and a half now, I’ve kept all my stories in a folder. Finished and unfinished. Well, the folder’s getting a little too-full now, and I have nowhere else to put them all. So, here we go again, it’s all getting typed up. I’ve been meaning to do this for quite a long time, but have never got around to it. What I want more, however, is to type them all up, and print them all out. One problem – I don’t have a printer. So, that idea’s out the window. For now. Hopefully I can get a printer sometime – hello, they’re not that expensive, and Christmas isn’t that far away (it’s too late to get one for my birthday
).
But anyway, that’s my project, until it’s done.
If I ever start. Hopefully I will today, but I don’t know.
We shall see.
I’m such a procrastinator!

Emailing stuff to myself seems to help me keep track of it better. Otherwise I eventually lose it.

I used to do that, during the school year and such. But, it doesn’t really work during the summer, because it’s already on my computer/sticky note. And then I just get mad at my inbox because it has a whole bunch of stuff in it, that doesn’t really do me any good. And I tend to lose emails too – so I have to do a search for them, which can be annoying because sometimes I don’t remember what words I’m supposed to be searching for.
I normally put shit in folders in My Documents or on my Desktop, but that gets annoying, because I have like four, five, rows of stuff on my Desktop and it looks really cluttered, which annoys me, and then I got a shit-load of stuff in my Doc folder, which doesn’t look all that pretty either.
