Interestink...

Wow, this is fascinating.
I have one page to write in my paper.
One page, and I know what I'm going to say.
I know what I'm going to say, and how I'm going to say it.

But get this, I can't make myself finish.

That's right, I'm sitting here with my paper all-but-done, and instead of just getting the words on paper and going to print it out, I'm checking my email (none of it new), reading LJ (none of it new), checking Away Messages (none of it new), even drumming my fingers on the desk while staring at my paper.

Wow, this is fascinating. Is there a word for it? I'm sure it must be some psychological disorder...


Update (10:01pm): Finished and Printed.

I know the feeling . . .

The same happens to me way too often. The only cure I've found is time or physically forcing yourself to type out something, word by word, until you can actually get it down.
