Couldn't resist...
I do that, too. I call it the AvoiDance. Some days I dance so much and so long, I get too exhausted to do anything else...
I guess I've found some things that help me, a bit:
1. I make lists. I make a *lot* of lists... That helps. Some days I actually *do* some of what's on the lists...
2. I build in breaks, to do something fun. "Clean living room, kitchen, downstairs bathroom, (play with polymer clay) do laundry, clean guest bathroom, (watch movie on TV while filing papers)" etc. That helps a bit. My problem with doing that is that some days I have to have my first break *before* I start, other days I have that first break first -- in order to AvoiDance doing anything... Hard for me to know which it is...
3. Sometimes, if I have the energy, I do a half-@$$ed version quick and dirty, so that I have *something* done, then go back through and clean it up, piece by piece, so that I have something good...
4. And, of course, I Write Outlines. I am the Empress of Outlines. Whatever else you say about me, I give GREAT outline...
Just a few thoughts for you. Cheap at half the price, eh?
