Procrastination

It's taking me a while to get back in a mood to work, and each day this week I've gone home having accomplished very little. I've got a lot of projects waiting for me, but the motivation to do them is sure slow to come.

I agreed to teach a workshop in New York in April and I have to make some books and spiff up my lesson plan for that.

I've also agreed to tutor someone in soldering, and in a couple of other jewelry related techniques in exchange for her teaching me what I need to know about using a material with which I am totally unfamiliar. But first I have to experiment with soldering to the particular material she is working with and then formulate an instruction plan.

I fiddled around with that a little yesterday and it didn't seem to be much of a problem. But nothing ever goes this easy for me. So I'm worried that, "If everything seems to be going well, [I] have obviously overlooked something." Soon the material is bound to start fighting back and I'll run into all sorts of issues which will need to be resolved.

Then I also have a huge jewelry order to make. I'm willing, but my body keeps saying please don't make me do that, so I am avoiding it for the time being.

Speaking of the body, I promised it that we would exercise and that I would join a gym first of the year, but that's not happened yet.

Let's not forget the eating right resolutions. I am not exactly eating all wrong right now, but shoveling in just a little piece of the last of the leftover candy at night is really not helping much now, is it?

So, rather than try to think of something more interesting to write here today, I think I'd better go find something constructive to do for the next hour which will move me a little bit more forward into the New Year.
