Sounds like lots of boots are needed around here (mine included). I run more when I've got assignments due in. And the ironing gets done. Windows cleaned, oh yeah. Avoidance anyone???

Exercise is valuable for powering your brain. Not sure about cleaning windows though

A mutual arse booting threading seems like a good idea then. We have the added stressors of the Scottish Govt pulling the funding just after we put our applications went in. It's been a tough couple of years financially as well as the placement/coursework/single mum drama. Now just the thesis, a few accounts of work for placement and finding a job. The end is in sight. |

If you have chrome and social networking etc is a key procrastination tool then try stayfocusd - you can restrict your own access to the internet as a whole or set websites. I switched mine off recently but need to set it up again after Easter.
