Most mornings on the way to work I’ll drop by Vie de France to pickup some unhealthy bread products. There are always the same young girls working there. This morning one of the girls had a huge hickey, known as “kiss mark” キースマーク in Japan, on her neck and she wasn’t attempting to cover it up or anything. I could not help but stare at it with images of how she might have gotten it going through my head. I guess she noticed me staring with my mouth wide open cause I didn’t response when she handed me my change. :P
As you may have noticed I’ve been in a blog slump recently. I have so many things I want to do but I’m not getting any of it done. In a desperate attempt to get organized I started reading Dave Allen’s Getting Things Done but have not finished it yet. It’s on my to do list too.. :-(
I’ve noticed the slump but I though perhaps you were just feeling down lately. As for getting things done, I think adding reading a book to the list, even if the book is meant to help you get more done is probably making it harder for you.
I always couple behaviors together to propel me to work on them. For instance, putting dishes away while letting my tea steep to get them done in the minutes I’m doing nothing. Or, I make myself handle laundry at intermittent intervals while watching T.V. or browsing the internet. I push myself to frequently attend to a task throughout the day to handle it in small bits and it eventually gets done.
I guess that the difficulty you have is related to the type of task. Good luck!

Hahahahahaha… you filthy bugger, ya
Even though I have the book, I’ve been putting off reading it. I sometimes go to http://www.43folders.com for GTD tips and tricks (just a note, I have no affiliation with that site). I’ve been in a slump too. I’ve been watching way too much anime and not doing anything. I finally cracked open a book on XML and I still need to fill out applications to apply some eikawa.
