Mmmm, Tidy...
The one good thing that results from me settling down to actually do some work is that my room gets a lot tidier. This is because my subconscious is doing everything it can to avoid doing any work, and so tells me that there is no way that I can work in such an untidy environment. It just isn't conducive to a positive studying atmosphere. Therefore, I tidy my room for ten minutes before I get anywhere near my textbooks. Hurrah!
Oh, and I always find something that needs doing on my computer, from running a virus scan (then sitting and watching the status bar creep its way across the screen) to tidying up the tags on my mp3s. There's just always something to grab my attention. It's even worse if I'm already online, since the entire WWW is just a double-click away. I should set up a "Work" user profile on my computer to stop me getting distracted by these things. But then I'd just spend ages trying to hack the system to get round it and prove how clever I am. I think I might have ADD or something, only about 15 years too late...
