So I've done a bad thing--I've let myself slide all week long ...

I find that I work better under pressure. After all, I managed to crank out the last 4,000 words to get me over the NANO 50,000 word mark on Monday. But since then, I have done a whole bunch of nothing.

At night when I reflect back on my day, I wonder what I did. I can honestly say that from Tuesday through Friday, I haven't been productive in any way. I've played computer games, surfed the Web, piled more junk up on the tables in my office. It's not good.

I decided this morning that I have to do something substantial today so that when I go to sleep tonight I can feel like I didn't spend hours merely consuming air, food and water. I am going to accomplish great things!

There is never a shortage of things to do, and I feel so much better when I can say I completed tasks that moved my life forward.

Here I go--I'm on my way to a great day!
