A Strange Duality

Recently, I have noticed a strange combination of outlooks in my life: 1) Procrastinating...waiting, putting off, delaying what I should be doing, or 2) Wishing I was doing something other than what I am currently doing.

Case in point: whenever I have work to do at home, I poke around at a variety of websites, looking for something interesting to hold my attention, and maybe in the process, learn something new. This leads to much wasted time as I think about working, but I don't actually get much work done. And once I start working, I begin to consider all of the things I'd rather do. Or when I'm running, I can't wait to be done... or when I'm reading, my mind begins to wander and think of other things I could be doing. This happens during movies, tv, games, etc...

I think it's kinda interesting that my attention span is so short.... Does anybody else have the same thoughts sometimes?

sounds like you could use a major change of scenery...move to europe, there are lots of things to hold your attention here
