Getting to work
Dealing with all this procrastination energy. It's like chasing and pinning down an elf to force them to give up their pot of gold or grant a wish. It takes a resolve to not sleep until the task is started, (starting the task is the tough part, almost no cardinal signs in my chart). Finally when drained down, tired and looking for a way to sleep, the mind cooperates, focuses and begins to carve away at the project. Have to get the right music happening too. Part of my ritual before starting a large database, etc., project was to buy some music. A friend from Denmark hooked me up with the Cardigans, which I've gotten a lot of work done to. Music just takes the edge off the back of the mind processes. It occupies a bit of brain energy allowing the creative/work energy to focus. Last database was done to Aimee Allen, she hasn't released her CD yet, so as much as I'd like to support the artist.. duh? I'm thinking her own people released the mp3s to get her circulated. I've told myself tonight is the last night to spend on free stuff and tomorrow I need to plug back into work stuff. So.. well, it's 4 am..... We'll see how it goes. :)
