Hope springs eternal.

Things I should do today:
Tidy my flat and clear away last week’s or so mess.
Do the washing-up.
Take down the trash.
Do my laundry.
Get dressed before taking the laundry down to the basement.
Put away last week’s dry laundry.
Practice the piano and my part of that duet.
Write that bloody paper.
Go outside and realize that the rain has stopped.
Talk to people.
Cook myself dinner.

Things I have done today so far:
Slept til noon.
Considered doing everything on my to-do list (briefly).
Checked my mail and facebook accounts.
Had a large cappucchino, a dozen strawberries and half a bag of caramel sweets.
Considered doing everything on my to-do list some more.
Watched the Juliette-Binoche/Ralph-Fiennes-version of Wuthering Heights.
Read some other people’s blogs, one of them on how to discipline yourself to write. (See? And here I am, writing.)
Wondered why nobody writes a blog on how to discipline yourself to do everything else.

But hey, it’s not even 4pm! Plenty of time to get everything done, right? Maybe I’ll start with something easy, like cooking dinner. Or maybe I'll just very quickly check my mails again before that? Or maybe mess about with this blog some more? Or... Ah, go on, have another strawberry!
