Have you ever felt like you know EXACTLY what is to be done to make this deal work, to make this bit of code to run, when to buy this out of the money call, when to sell Bhartitele, when to go through FDC's balance sheet again, when to send the sample, when to invite Sanofi-Aventis for an audit, When to fill the visa form to avoid the customary last minute scramble, when to wake up for Gym etc ..

The end result after a sustained period of consistently reacting on a timely basis to these feelings & getting these jobs ticked off - one by one - is that you are rich, successful, happy and fit.

Off late, i have this weird affliction where inspite of knowing about everything - what to do - when to do - i am still procrastinating - for no reason - not concentrating, just idling away, quite bored with it all. This is sometimes leading to significant loss of quality of work, loss of opportunities and worse, making me needlessly defending / inventing theories to justify - what actually is just needless procrastination.

Heck, i made a 40,000 dollar sale today and i normally tend to feel nice afterward - today i am like numb. No feeling.

One remedy has been just throwing myself at physical, line-managerial work which basically involves solving one minor problem after another at site - one problem sorted - another gets thrown at you - there isnt time to idle -

The main problem with this approach is that I am not working a regular job - no one tells me what to do and what not to do - consistent procrastination results in direct loss of momentum in the numerous projects i work on - probably are very important to me - and significant amount of work at is 'soft' work which invariably get dumped in the back burner.

I guess it is kind of hormonal, sort of like a Quarter Life crisis - my parents seem to understand it too - they're constantly asking me to go on trips to visit friends or vacations.

Ive always been used to doing a lot of work, keeping busy and not feeling lost like this - and this is driving me crazy.
