productivity of the self employed

I am most productive when I am avoiding something...

Example:
yesterday I
-vaccumed
-gave the dog a bath
-stripped the bed and laundered the sheets
-washed some other pillows
-went to the farmers market
-uploaded a senior session
-check fb a million times

what I was avoiding was working on editing a wedding

today I have
-painted a few papers for a future project
-made bread in the bread maker [okay, this only took like 10 minutes tops :)]
-did a load of laundry
-opened and inspected an album that was delivered [yay!]
-took a shower
-cleaned a little bit off my dinning table
-wrote a quick blog
-checked groupon
-checked fb a million times

still avoiding culling and editing that wedding

Although today I did get a few hours of the wedding in... so that's good.  And don't get me wrong, I LOVE my job.... I LOVE photographing weddings, and I even LOVE editing those images! [you get to see so many details that you missed because I doing the job takes precedence over getting emotional at the groom crying/bride blushing etc.].

BUT, it doesn't have that short task instant gratification.  It will probably take me 8+ hours to fully edit, color correct and enhance a wedding.  So... not a quick job... oh well...
