Procrastination techniques

[mousme]

I learned at university that procrastination is an art form.

Now that I'm trying to write 50,000 words in one month, my mind is coming up with tons of funky project ideas for me to try out. I have to then tell all these shiny new ideas that they'll have to wait until December. The shiny new ideas then pout and sulk and wheedle and whine and try to get me to abandon NaNo in order to pay attention to them instead.

Bah.

I need a whiteboard in this apartment. One where I can list ongoing projects, project ideas, and progress. It seems to help when I can chart my progress somewhere, as evidenced by the NaNo wordcount meter I have in my secret_history LJ. I guess I'll hit the dollar store next and see if they have something close to what I'm looking for.

Got sidetracked and never posted this. Off to band meeting.
