I wouldn't exactly call it "getting **** done" when I come to this website ten times a day!
Sudden onset of Procrastination

I can empathize with you, medic. I've had a terrible problem with this myself. It started in earnest with my last position, where I had nothing to do and was terribly bored. Now I have enough to do, but have a problem motivating myself. I definitely spend more time on the web than I should. I guess mine is a case of "reverse burnout."
It still stinks, though. Good luck overcoming it. I guess I'd better start rebuilding that server now!
I have the same problem...luckily this summer I'm taking summer organic classes, so that makes me get up and go to classes/labs...otherwise I'd also be laying around/web/tv etc...
I feel old every time I come home from class...
Dang! I am old!

As I recall, we're about the same age. It's called "getting too old for this (stuff)". I don't even like to be online that much anymore, I'm happy just in front of the TV. I was on vaycay all last week though, I feel better.
Dead is forever and is closer than we usually consider it to be.
So..... why worry??!!!!
What's that sage's saying??? Sumpthin' akin to:
No one ever died wishing they had spent more time at the office.
Live life.... smell a rose.... pick yer' nose. Walk around the grocery store leaving a trai of smelly farts.
Help an old lady carry a package. Hold the door open for 15 people!!!!
Pay for the food for the person in the car behind you at the fast food drive-through.
Pick up the trash alongside your street, both sides.
Write your politician and either compliment them or, call them a traitor; depending upon thine circumstances.
Write the local cops and fire firghters, tell them you appreciate their efforts.
Mow your neighbor's lawn for the heck of it.
There's a lotta' things you can do besides the same old monotonous routine to spice up thine life.
Of course, not having kidlings dependent upon ye gives much more freedom. Until you kick them out the door, ye are basically stuck. Once they're gone..... live it up!!!!!

I did that a few times. It was great until a beautiful young lady, who I would've enjoyed meeting, came around the corner and I was the only other person there. Now that I am almost married, I guess I can begin to enjoy this activity again.
"Almost married?" I guess your woman's got the same problem with putting stuff off? Must be nice. Mine rides me.
Don't fall for any of Al's trickery!
Oh, gotta go: I hear her coming for me...

I don't know what apathy means and I couldn't care less.
