One of my big problems is not working when I've got a whole mass of things to do. You'd think this would be a reasonably good thing--you have a lot to do, and you do a lot. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
The more different things I have to do at once, the more I end up thrashing, wasting time flipping from one thing to another, not actually getting anything done for real. And with so much to do I feel obligated to try and do something all the time. That leaves me at the computer constantly, always trying to get something done, but the more I do that, the less I actually get done. This Is Bad. I end up working constantly while not actually getting anything of use done and, worse yet, I end up being really cranky to everyone around. That's no good.
So I've dug out the old Diablo II expansion CD. I think it's time to see how this thing behaves under Jaguar...
