productivity & procrastination

Both come in sundry shapes and disguises. Obsessing over productivity may be a form of procrastination, so is writing about them but not as much as research surfing and thinking about writing about them. Making lists: productivity, procrastination, productive procrastination? I did finally get around to checking and resetting Twitterfeed to auto-post @NewFacMajority to our Facebook page. Hope it works ~ no telling when I'll get back to it again if it doesn't. Sometimes I contemplate the lineaments of a perpetual motion auto-posting system.

More fun than productivity tips, right? But here's from today's do list just to demonstrate my good intentions... and procrastinate

• take down issue #2 of newsletter ("Newsletter#2 in header menu) and replace with issue #3 or add another tab for #3
• NFM board & projects update if I can figure out what is cleared for public consumption and what not ~ then at least tantalize with hints, inundate with innuendo.
• links post (thus wiping up a bunch of "blog-about-this" links from aforementioned to-do list)
• irresistible eye candy from David Ruccio's links & commentary
• adjunct blogs - recommendations, annotated - unless I can fit them on the links post
• ditto omnivore's latest on higher ed, Bonfire of the Universities
• academic activist exhortations / updates du jour (aka soapbox category, Cyber Hyde Park perhaps)
• then there are still all those social media productivity tips. Maybe they will help you more than they do me

and remember Tom Geoghegan's advice, "Pick up a skill other than learning how to submit."
