New Project

I'm the kind of person that likes to be busy, and when that comes around you would expect me to like to do new things. This is true however I still suffer from not doing things, namely things I don't like to do. An example of such a thing would be the paper I have due next Wednesday. So I will break down what I do to not do something.

Step 1: Do research. I end up doing a lot of research to no particular gain when I could have actually started the project. This is actually quite low on my part to be honest. I don't actually do too much research because sometimes, depending on the situation, I find that doing research simply equates to starting the project.

Step 2: Social Media. I think everyone goes through this at some time where you end up checking to see if you're up to date on everything and I go through a rotation of the various sites to end up on the first one again and check it for any updates. At a certain point I will continue rotating through sites even though I know there is going to be nothing new. At this point I move to the next step

Step 3: Start a new Project? This is something that I do that I'm not sure a lot of people do. Because I like to be busy I love starting new projects. Every project has a goal of improving something about myself. A written project would challenge my writing skills and narrative skills. You may be thinking is this really a way of procrastinating? Yes, most of these projects become unfinished and only end up being time wasters. The only thing is that I never delete any of them so that perhaps someday they will come back and be useful. I tend to start working on one or another to avoid doing something else like my paper. Do I try to stop myself from doing this project? No because by doing this project I don't have to do my other one. If I didn't have any projects to work on I would be very bored and maybe I would end up doing my paper. On the other hand I might revert back to steps 1 & 2.
