why oh why can I not work unless my back is ^really^ against the wall?

[hatwoman]

I have a deadline of tomorrow and no time to work tomorrow. I have a deadline for two week's time and pretty much no time between then and now to do it,. but hey. it's tomorrow. It's two weeks away. I can just sneak onto mn again...god I'm Mrs Crap McCrappity

I have a deadline for 90 min away. Possibly sooner.

Am trying to convince myslef that eating cheese on toast makes it OK to mumsnet at the same time...

I know the feeling exactly

this helped me

online stopwatch

I set it for 15 mins and say I can do that and then go on mn

often I get quite enthused by what I am doing and set it for another 15

15 mins seems so small, not much of a commitment at all

ah the old "this is my lunch break" / "I can;t work while eating but I can mn" trick. know it well

[hatwoman]

cupusceamo - I had forgotten that trick - used to do that when I was revising for some exams last year. I'd set the timer on the oven for 20 mins or so. you are so right. (and a lot more constructive then Idris...)

Mumsnet would be a much emptier place if we weren't all the same....
