avoiding by doing

Seems an oxymoron...but you can actually waste time by doing things!  I still need to study for that class next week and I'm avoiding it.  Yesterday was a day to study.  I was busy cleaning house and spent most of the afternoon running errands and grocery shopping.  I was finally done at 830 pm and exhausted.  Needless to say I did not study.  Today I made myself put in 5 minutes and I"m going right now to find my book and study another 15 minutes before I eat lunch and head off to work.  Yesterday I did a lot of things that needed to be done but still I SHOULD have made sure I set aside an hour to study.  I am sure I'll do like I did in college and wait til the day before and then cram it all in.  That is not the best way to remember anything.  But wait!  I have to work the day before so I guess Monday is the day to cram!
