Hey Flexible and Sonia! This thread is fantastic!!

First: what is the word-doc trick? Can you post a link to that discussion so I can check it out (as well as anyone else on here)? [I'm lazy... if you don't post it, don't worry, I'll dig it up!!] ;)

Second: Flexible- you deserve a hearty "AMEN" to that last post, man. hours and hours lost online. I couldn't agree with you more. I also really really like Sonia's idea of hacking a 90 minute block for serious sit-down work without being interrupted. I might try and swing the 10+2x5 hack into that... do a sort of 10+2x8 or something... essentially trying to keep my "oh, I need another drink of water, or to make a snack or to check e-mail" down to that 2 minute window in there. It may not be as effective as the 90 minute idea, there Sonia, but honestly, I think I'd shy away from the 90 minute sit-down, as I'm a fabulously successful procrastinator. ;)

About the joys/vices in life: I completely agree, Flexible. We need a few little vices to get a bit of excellent joy in life. If you ever want to chat about pipes etc., don't be afraid to get in touch! I can steer you away from a potentially unenjoyable start, or at least try and increase your enjoyment if you do. ;)

Ok, speaking of procrastination- I've gotta get back to reviewing my tasks and getting things done. ;)

[Flexible- thanks for checking out the blog, man! :) - I felt kinda shoddy not giving the link here, so I'm gonna do so now: http://http-server.carleton.ca/~tpychyl/index.html

They have a great pod-cast that's helping me to understand procrastination a bit better than I used to.

Cheers, everyone! Hoping the rest of your week is highly productive and a bunch of fun!
