I love alliteration!
I naturally fell into a pattern that I was thrilled to read about in an advice to academics column: Productive Procrastination. (The Chronicle site may try to make you take a survey; tell it no firmly!).
Procrastination is natural. We all do it. The way to do well in academia (and maybe other places, I don't know) is to realize the best procrastination comes from doing something ELSE you have to do: so today, I procrastinated. Instead of reading my assignments in class, or working on the essay I have to read at the Symposium Friday (well, I have seven pages written, I admit, written earlier when I was procrastinating on something else), I went searching for images for my "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" vid (I have a music file now because I asked my friendslist in my fan journal for help, and got lots of good advice as well).
( results of my search behind the cut--total brainstorming mode, not finished in any way nor meant to be complete )
