Procrastination at it’s worst

My weak point seems to lie in the fact that I basically quit working on something right when it is almost complete. I will work on a project, get through the hardest 999 steps, and then almost come to a stand still when all it takes is one more step. It’s the same way when studying in school. The only exception to that was when I was studying for my MCSE & MCDBA. Money motivated finishing that out (much better job/pay).

Take for example my current project of reloading all the computers in the schools I’m in charge of doing. I should have finished them up last week. Yet, I all I have left to do is join about 30 computers to the domain (out of 400+) and I didn’t do it. This should have been done either Thursday or Friday but it didn’t get done. It’s like I found something “more important” to do, even though those things could easily have waited until this week.

I’ve got to find a way to get focused on normal task. I just don’t want this to affect my reviews at work and keep me from possible promotions.

It is not the strength, but the duration of great sentiments that makes great men. -Nietzsche

You are suffering from behavioural avoidance in an attempt to control aversive internal experiences of fear and anxiety. You worked routinely through your workload until some extrenal stress was introduced. Perhaps people began returning to the workplace, even in small numbers, this would have been enough to distrupt your utopian world where other people (and intimate relations) did not exist.

This would be enough to trigger your anxiety and so begin your regular pattern of avoidance. Plan to meet with one of the intruders you so fear (even a simple hello and how you doing? will suffice)and your anxiety will abate and you will be able to complete your task.

The same things happen to me, but I don’t think it has anything to do what helpful harry says…i know you a little too well

You can use sysprep right before the images are ready in ghost to automatically have the machine join the domain. It saves us tons of time come summertime.
