Here's a story about when I was working to get my Eagle scout award. When I was at home one day I was working on my Eagle scout project when I decided to get a drink of water. I had been working for a while that day and I felt I could take a break. When I went to get a drink I heard the television was on because of the action sounds that were coming from the room next door. When I went into the room I encountered my mother.
"Where do you think your going?" she asked giving me the "look". "I was just going to watch some t.v. You know I've been working for a while." I say trying to smooth talk my way into idleness. "You've got to finish your project outline before you can do anything else."
"But mom, can't I stop and do this later? I need to rest or else I'm going to explode."
"How about you work for another hour then you can watch t.v."
"Fine" I say rather reluctantly.
I worked for an hour and then I watched t.v. The cool thing about this is that I got my paperwork done in that hour and felt better about myself. I'm glad I didn't procrastinate or else I would have been in a pickle.
