Yesterday I sat down to try and finish an article I had begun writing. The weather was perfect, my tummy full, and I had a fine cup of coffee sitting it front of me. My MacBook was open, and the path was clear for me to write. And then it struck. I suddenly realised that my chair was ever so slightly tilted to the left. That was the end of that journey. I ended up spending the next hour or so trying to figure out a way to fix the chair.

I began reading some productivity weblogs on beating procrastination. Though quite enlightening, they are all pretty superficial. The one thing that I’ve seen gets me going is an inspiring song, or something I read that motivates me. So I decided to try something totally new. I plugged in my iPod and put on the playlist I use for my workout at the gym. It’s packed with Kanye West, Tupac, and the likes. In the worst of cases, I think It will at least give me an hour’s worth of kick. Will settle for that now.
