Whenever I take a day to "study" I always encounter the same question. Today I've been doing math, and really don't feel like continuing with it, but I don't feel like doing any of the other things on my list either. Which is not a good reason to not do them, I think - usually I'm so much a perfectionist that it makes it impossible to continue with anything.
Every week we need to write a 400+ word assignment about topics related to information processing science. This week the topic is the development process of Internet Explorer 3.0 in 1996. I know what I could write about, and what I need to find out in order to be able to write, but somehow I prefer the vague anxiety of not doing to the acute anxiety of writing. However, this would be the perfect time to write and possibly finish the assignment: I have time and I don't feel like doing math.
I need to learn to do things bit by bit and to start (and continue! the starting itself isn't that difficult to me) early. I've struggled with the same issue for a long time. These last weeks I've managed to turn in a text that got the highest mark,3, in time four times in total, but I've felt somewhat anxious every time, and I really don't want to be wasting weekends feeling anxious.
If you always do the same thing you will always get the same result. Let's decide now that I'll (try to) write the assignment today. First I will read a book called Ohjelmistotuotanto and maybe Software Engineering a practitioner's approach, find a couple of quotes and analyse the process used for the development of IE with the information I've gained. That is enough. (These decisions are hard for me, to decide I've done, pondered, analysed enough and can relax.)
