Sighing in exhaustion I sipped my warm coffee in order to experience the soft comfortable feeling you get from the heat of the coffee as seeps into your soft mouth tissues and tongue and eventually oesophagus. But the anticipation only remained an anticipation because the coffee went down the wrong pipe forcing me to cough involuntarily on my clean office clothes that I had just gotten from laundry.
I looked at my now ruined white shirt and black tie that now had fresh coffee stains. The splitting headache I had been feeling since this morning only intensified as I thought how I would have to get them to laundry again today. And the unfinished document opened on my computer screen glared at me with its harsh bright light in contrast to the yellow light of my office making my condition even worse.
I wish I could stop time and sleep but I already knew that the sleeps I so much wish to have would become even more rare if I don't finish the clients work by the next week.
I grumbled to myself my own thoughts in order to convince myself to do the work. I know it sounds ridiculous but after attending a TEDx talk I realised that talking your thoughts aloud can help you decide with better care and faster and obviously it makes you more aware of the implications of procrastinating.
