The forecast calls for heavy fog

I feel like I'm on a lazy binge these days...I don't know what's going on. It could be that I'm depressed but no, I don't think that's it. I remember this happening to me in college, actually. When I had major impending deadlines, I would shut down and procrastinate until the very last second. It's happening again, I think.

Next week, I have to give a presentation to students on Tuesday in Orlando and then on Friday, I leave for Oshkosh, WI for the weekend to attend an air show (work-related). During the week of August 9th, I then leave for Salt Lake City to present to students, and at the end of August, I will be a guest speaker at a conference in Orlando. In September, I will be a guest speaker at conferences in Scotland and San Diego and then will be able to take a break for 3 weeks before traveling to Las Vegas and Seattle.

Sure, it sounds exciting (and the Scotland trip really is because my husband and I are taking 2 weeks extra to travel the country), but it's all work-related so it's very stressful.

The presentation I'm giving in Scotland has to be almost 4 hours long...AAAAK! I don't even know where to begin! I haven't started writing my presentations for my other two conferences either -- they are the reason I think my system is shutting down and I've become so damn lazy lately.

I need to clear my mind somehow - I'm just hoping it doesn't come at the 11th hour. Procrastinating was fine in college, however in the real world, I need my "A Game" at all times. Especially when my boss is recommending me for a promotion. Somehow I MUST clear the fog that is my brain!!!
