On those days when I do need to get up my motivation for a day of actual work, I make a to-do list. The problem is I usually end up writing down other goals to make the list longer and camouflage the task at hand. Can you spot the actual work?
TO DO LIST
Check my email.
Get some new supplies to write with.
Clean up my desk (a little).
Install Windows Updates.
Download latest release of random application that has the slightest to do with the task.
–By this point I’ll need a bathroom break.–
Pick out the music to get me in the mood.
Check virus protection status.
Ask somebody else to bring me up to speed a little bit.

Take copious notes in many different colors.
Hydrate.
–Bathroom–
Pick out new music.
Uncomment unneeded code and fix warnings.
Code by copying and pasting together different data objects.
