I am trying to understand the nature of inertia. I don't have it nailed, but I think I'm making progress.
Today, I set out to do some work in the morning, which I finished by noon. It was an okay piece of work (nothing great, just a side-by-side evaluation). Still, I knew I wasn't going to do anything as good for the rest of the day. I had some other stuff to do - emails and facebook messages to respond to, expense reports to file, etc. But, they all seemed so much lesser (in worth or excitement) by comparison. It was going to be downhill for the rest of the day.
That made me very lethargic. I just lazed around, to the point of falling asleep. I tried watching a movie, but even that wasn't very exciting. I told myself "Okay, tomorrow, I'm going to wake up early, exercise, and finish all these items on the to-do list right away." I was just procrastinating.
After several hours, I forced myself to get back onto facebook, and voila, I was having fun again. Perhaps it was the social nature of the task. Or perhaps I had just gotten past the activation energy point. In any case, I understand a little bit more about myself now, and how to get myself off my butt. I need to nail it, to get those sadhabhishekam videos done.
