Stinking Productive!
I have a question. Why is it that personal hygiene and productivity are inversely proportional? Why is it that the harder one works (from home, that is) the dirtier he is?
One could claim that being busy doesn’t leave much time for anything else. I don’t believe that.
Case in point: Me!
I haven’t shaved in a couple of weeks. I’m a total wreck. When/if I step outside (usually to buy alcohol, cigarettes, or water) trees wilt at my sight. I do shower, but not so often, and not so vigorously. On the other hand, I’m writing and researching non-stop, finishing up my paper, and feeling ok, academically. I’m also attending class (I shower before that!), and getting some workout done.
It’s not that I’ve no time to waste, because I’m still wasting hours every day. It’s just that to actually get up and clean my room, or shave, or do the dishes, or take out the trash requires such an effort…
So, if you see me walking down the street, sporting a beard, know that I’m working hard. Wish me luck. I wouldn’t advise you to come too close, though.

amazing!my room is in the exact same state as yours (and as you…a wreck :)!i waste a lot of time (mainly on IM!), complain i have no time to do anything besides work, but then, just ditch everything and go out somewhere with my friends, then come back with a guilt complex as big as… well, a huge guilt complex, and get back to (freelance) work til late at night (in my room, with papers and books and dictionaries and clothes everywhere!), wake up at the crack of dawn, drag myself out of bed and under the shower, and go to my regular work at regular working hours. meanwhile, my thesis director is going crazy at me because i’m like 2 years behind in my stupid thesis on which i have no time to work! So keep up the good work, ‘tempest’, and good luck on your paper!
