I can drown myself between my dreams, but my heart wont be on sale anymore...

That's how I learned back in photoshop 5.5 (erch). CS2, for the win.

Anyhow, it's called procrastination. It is the reason why I need to double the number of pages in my Design Journal just to make the minimum.
It's what you do to convince yourself you are busily working away at something worthwhile in order to avoid doing something else that is more important and even more unpleasant.

Popular forms of procrastination include cleaning, cooking, reading, doing tax returns, replying to emails (even spam), deleting emails, forwarding emails, commenting on other people dA journals, myspace, facebook, masturbation, recreational drug use and sudoko.

Easiest way to do an essay:
-Look up the key words in the essay question in something like an encyclopedia or dictionary. Starting with 450 page books on sort-of related topics is bad.
-Write down a hand full of key points to cover.
-Research each one in said 450 page (no more or less) books.
-Photocopy, highlight, reference and repeat.
-Procrastinate for three weeks.
-Rejigger your handful of key points to include anything new you learned while researching.
-Turn each key point into a paragraph and dump in a referenced quote, if you can.
-Write the start and end of each paragraph so that they flow from one to another with tricky segway phrases like:
"On the other hand..."
"Also, around this time..."
"Another important influence/factor/figure/goober/carpenter/procrastinator was/is..."
-Write a conclusion that your essay could be construed as supporting.
-Write an intro that tells the reader what they are about to read with out actually telling them anything useful.
-press ctrl+5
-spell check and give to someone else to proof read.

Gallantry is back..

See, I was going to do an Essays for Dummies, but you've got a pretty good guide there already.

My only other advice to add is - get away from Photoshop and any other distractions. Set limits for what you're going to do before you start, e.g. "I'm going to put music on randomly and leave it, and sit down with a bottle of water and cup of tea AND NOT GET UP AGAIN UNTIL THIS IS DONE," or else you'll spend half an hour making a playlist, 10 mins having tea away from the desk, 10 mins doodling on a page, then another 15 away from the desk when you realise you're going to need water but while you're up you may as well make a cup of tea and a sandwich...

Seriously.

Just get everything together, sit down, and start working. It never feels like the "right" time to work for me, so it's always starting out forced in this way - you ease into it after a while (although usually still want to do something else instead) but if I didn't force myself to just start it I wouldn't do it at all.

Always looking for new ideas for sketches and stories...

Wow! I really didn't expect such a lengthy response!

Thanks my friend, I really appreciate it. Judging from the list, it seems I've more than enough procrastination symptoms!
Need to start doing something about it. Thankyou for the advice and the confidence to move my ass!
It's really helped (I got some work done today! Not much, but still! Yuhu!)

Just one more deviation to submit (I did it yesterday) and I'll do more work on kicking the habit!
Cheers!

Hehe, no worries mate.
