My New Song. Thanks, Merlin Mann!

Dear Merlin Mann,

I love your website.

It's awesome.

Especially this bit.

Today, thanks to you, I wrote a song.

Ok, it's not a very good song. But I got it down on paper and onto my computer and that is something I haven't done since I was 11 years old.

That's a bit sad, no? Still, I had a mental block that I was crap at writing songs. And therefore I was just not going to write them, and that was that.

Anyway, the reason was that I was reading 43 Folders and I thought to myself, 'You know what? I should probably actually be asleep right now. But I'm not. I'm procrastinating. I'm procrastinating from SLEEPING, one of my all-time favourite activities. So if I'm awake, I'm actually going to DO SOMETHING USEFUL (for a given value of useful). I'm going to do something that I think I can't do.'

So I wrote some random words on a page, and three hours later, I have a song.

Like I said, not a great one.

But I'm working on that.

Productivity rocks.
