#2On a side note, I just listened to this audiobook "The Art of Procrastination: A Guide to Effective Dawdling, Lollygagging and Postponing"
http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Procrastination-Lollygagging-P...
A humorous take on working with procrastination, not against it. Short, but highly recommended.

#5I feel like procrastinating is such a common human condition that it's really not about you but about the work you're putting off.
When I was in college, I would put off doing lab reports until 6am in the morning. Watch youtube, surf the web for 30 minutes and actually work for 5 minutes.
But there was a reason. It was boring drudgery. Now that I get to work on my own project, I code almost all day. When I eat, I think about my code. When I brush my teeth I think about my code. Before I fall asleep, I think about code. My code is the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning. I usually can't wait to finish breakfast and start working. So much for that ADHD diagnosis.

It's a personal project, an attempt at passive income.
It can't be help that there's a lot of boring work in the world and somebody has to do them.
Personally,I think those kind of work rarely pays adequate dividend in the end. But hey, we all have to eat.

The word "work" is too often confused with "paid work to do boring things, because nobody would do them for fun" these days. And then people wonder why everyone is procrastinating at work.
