I have exactly the same problem - it sometimes takes me days or weeks to really get going on a project. When I'm designing databases or forms days can pass with nothing happening. In College I had the same problem - I just could not get into studying for an exam. Ultimately what I discovered is that inside me there is something intuitive that needs panic, disaster, mayhem, and impending doom to focus. There's something strangely calming about it. Maybe that's why I'm a volunteer firefighter, too.
You too may have an intuitive clock that isn't wound yet for this project. In College and Grad school I ultimately gave up and resorted to a novel study technique I call the one-hour-cram. It didn't matter if it was Quantum Physics or Probability or Marketing. I started cramming the moment I felt like I couldn't put it off any longer and went full-tilt until the moment the exam hit my desk. My grades were never better, and I got a lot more sleep and played a lot more golf. Good luck. Speaking of which, I've got some environmental reports due March 1 that I really should get started on. Screw it. I've got days yet. -- On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth On the second day, God created the oceans. On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours, and did a little diving. And God said, "This is good." _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
