My work isn't as intense when I am rested. These days I alternate between working and procrastinating. I would probably have a lot more free time if I procrastinated less... That one is my own fault.
And I am in an especially whiny mood b/c there have been some significant changes in law regarding what is considered to be patentable. In the past I use to do some "easy" arguments and my patents were allowed. And now since these changes - I have to think outside of the box. That always makes my head hurt... And I procrastinate even more when I am breaking new trails.
You are right - I need to stop over-analyzing my personal life stuff. My C calls it tripping over your own brain.
I think I will feel much better if/when I ever actually get caught up at work. These days, I live in fear and hide hoping someone that is responsible for something I am behind on will not contact me before I get the work done.
Anyway back to finishing up this silly brief. I have it all down on paper. I just need to read it through and finalize it. It is ONLY 3 pages of substantive writing - just very painful writing...
