Thanks for commenting!
I definitely see your point of view. Maybe we’re on two ends of a scale, here. I think I have a tendency to overdo things and the result is usually that I crash hard. Just like I did on day five of this experiment.
This was particularly bad in regards to physical activities up until a few years ago. I have injured myself way too often because I just didn’t know when to quit. I learned my lesson there, but apparently not with non-physical stuff yet…
I was reminded of this because you wrote “stretch your proverbial legs before you continue the marathon”. Sounds like the exact kind of thing I would idiotically neglect to do…

And thanks a lot for the stumble, mate. :)

first off: really really like your site. smoldouring slick design dipped in a soup of orange-wearing indian swami sages and a thousand gleeful virgins. and then there’s the money content. so all round supremo respect…

as for this post: really like the idea, specially given the amount of time that i spend procrastinating, but – and maybe it’s something i’ve read or just a progressive rationalisation – but i find that it takes a lil while for my ideas to ripen and the procrastinating – the messing around to get myself into a good mood – and indeed, even the “off time” where i’m just blazing out doing nothing in particular – it all serves to allow brilliance to swirl and mutate. not that there’s a limit to the amount of glory that you can churn out but i find the downtime serves to allow the ideas to ripen – and to that extent, procrastinating is sometimes the best thing for me.

although, again, that could just be won big juicy rationalisation :)

know all about that tension that builds up after intense work. happens constantly when i’m in exam mode (i’m at university). maybe it’s success barriers or wa’eva but i think it’s just a matter of needing to stretch your proverbial legs before you continue the marathon.

really like the lesson gleaned. that kinda quickdraw gunslinging reflex. def think it’s a matter of habit and conditioning. not necessarily into not wasting time but out of wasting it. if that makes any sense :)

awwwwsomeness all round.

gave it a stumble too.

keep well and in touch mate.
