Is it just me?

I selected 3 :P I will generally start somewhere for bit, then something will prompt me on other project, so I'll hop over to that for a while. And when I get stuck I resort to cleaning the house (or laundry, my perennial favourite thing to do when I can't think of anything else, there is always a load of washing that needs doing) or reworking the filing/referencing system.

And sometimes I'll be working on lots of things at once, then see they are all part of some master plan and pull them all in together in the hope of creating a theory of everything (or policy of everything, which is more my thing). And then when it isn't 3am and I'm less high on caffeine I realise that it doesn't really work and I should revert things back to their original component parts. But progress is still generally made in a roundabout way.

I would expect no less, you are not a simple ant! And yes, I sometimes find that cleaning actually sorts the story out in the back of my head so that I can go back and write brilliantly and quickly, so I suppose it all does work towards an end in a roundabout way -- if only it did so more quickly!
