F is for Faffing
I am possibly the worlds biggest procrastinator and faffer. I don't really know what's happened to me but as I get older I seem to get faffier. It does not make for a good and productive scientist. I seem to be quite disinterested in the actual detail of my work, so I tend to do stuff without thinking, spend more time reading blogs and nonsense on the internet instead of trying to order my life, analyse data, read papers. It's pretty much out of control I think and I don't know how to stop it. I keep planning to start stuff, to change, to take up something new. My faffing tends to mean I don't get to work until about 10am when I mean to get in for just before 9am, I don't get my lunch until about 2pm, I don't get out from work until about 7pm (and usually because I've been doing not much, rather than getting around to any serious work).
I've got a progress meeting with my bosses on monday and god knows how I'm going to explain myself to them, I've got so little work done to show for the past 2 months. It's not like I've tried stuff and it doesn't work, it's that I've not tried, I've just faffed. Help!
