Quirky or Procrastination?

I am seemingly on a perpetual quest to complicate my life, which is either a personal quirk or a tendency toward procrastination. Though I am most certainly not a perfectionist, not by any stretch, I have the tendency to overload myself. What did I do today just 36 hours before a business trip? I assure you it wasn't laundry, packing, or grocery shopping for my family, oh no. Instead, I built a website suitable for communicating with my readers and marketing my writing. Several hours later, there was progress. I ordered a website domain, taught myself the basics of using the WiX website platform, and I cobbled something together that resembles a usable website. It will have to do for now.

What else might I do before I get serious about laundry, critical household chores, and packing? As history indicates, I may next choose to expand upon a story element that I scribbled on the back of a tax bill envelope yesterday, or I may decide to give myself a facial -- anything but what I should be doing.

I actually might have a few hours this evening to write after all. Instead of doing laundry, perhaps I'll buy a couple of new shirts in Los Angeles after I land tomorrow afternoon. I can grocery shop for my family using the store's delivery app as I wait at the airport gate tomorrow, and I will have at least another chapter of my new novel to show for it!
