Too Much Time, Too Little to Do

I don't think I've ever had the problem of having too few things to fill my time. I've had to begin creating projects for myself just so I don't waste my days watching re-runs of America's Next Top Model on MTV. It's my shameful indulgence. Some people watch porn, I watch model wannabes perform a variety of stupid human tricks to try and get on a magazine cover - what's not to love? Okay, anyway. So I have decided to take the LSAT in December. Preparing for this should reasonably consume about two hours a day. I have also enthusiastically agreed to write an article for my dad about building the Panama Canal as a metaphor for understanding cultural context. This could also reasonably consume two hours a day. I'm helping my mom do some research on bilingual education policy for one of her classes - again I could easily spend several hours a day on this. Suddenly my problem is not lack of activity, but disciplining myself again to be productive. I've become so lazy. I need to get back on track, get back in to my exercise routine, get back in to reading and writing on a daily basis, and just make better use of my time in general. I've always been more efficient when I have too much to do. Now, I feel that time is infinite and I can't accomplish anything. For example, today, I got up, ate breakfast and promptly tuned in to, no, not ANTM, but HBO on-demand for a little Sex and the City (my newest shameful indulgence). Hey at least it's something different. And in some books it might even be considered educational. Ugh, why am I letting myself just waste away? I need a wake-up call.
