Where do you prefer to use your computer?

There are so many places where one can use the computer. Not every place is appropriate. Out of all the different places where I can choose from, I prefer to keep my computer in my own room. I have placed it on a desk near a window so that I can look outside while doing my work. The outside view is really great. I feel really comfortable there and can work on it as long as I wish. When the weather is pleasant outside especially after the rains, I like to take it outside and sit on the porch while surfing the net. I guess I made the right decision when I bought a laptop instead of a desktop. Desktops are just too bulky and take up too much space. Laptops on the other hand require very little space, give similar performance, and added benefit that you can take them anywhere. Ever since I got my Laptop, it has given me more flexibility in choosing where I can work, and now I am a happier person.

Are You Procrastinator?

I guess for the most part, I try doing things right away but I do tend to procrastinate on things that are not as important though. For example, I am always prompt in paying the bills the day I get them and I never put off anything and I am always early for any type of an appointment no matter how far it is located. Don't want to mess with the important stuff! But, if I need to make a phone call that can wait a day or two, I will put it off a lot of times. If I have to go someplace really important, I will go to the place and get it over with pretty quick.

I guess when the mood sets in then I am the king of procrastination! I might have all day to get things done, yet I lounge around the house in my sweatpants and t-shirt doing absolutely nothing at all. Then hours fly by and I realize the dirty pile of clothes and the dishes need done, the house needs a good brooming, etc. If I could make myself wake up a bit earlier, grab a quick shower and make a nice breakfast I might feel more motivated for the day ahead and actually get something done. The housework always seems to come last and sometimes not at all. I always put off those things that need done but that I really don't want to do.

On the other hand, my office desk (I work from home) is far from tidy! I do tend to put things into order though. My desk may be a total mess, but it is an organized mess. I know where everything is and would probably even locate it in total darkness. When I am working outside the home, I do not have a desk, but I do have a set routine each place I go. One thing that really helps me gain clients is that I do not procrastinate at work. I go, get my job done quickly, efficiently, and thoroughly.

I guess in life I have procrastinated a lot of times when I should not have. Sometimes I have been lucky and other times unlucky. In high school and college, I remember that sometimes we were given projects to do. I would usually wait till last minute and rush through the project the night before and the morning itself. Sometimes I got lucky and got a good grade and at other times just barely passing. Finally, I must ask are you the type of person who puts things off until the last possible minute, or do you do things as soon as you can?

Size does matter, but how big is enough?

Times have changed and so has the technology. When I first got this laptop two years ago it had a much larger hard drive than my desk top computer and I was confident that it wouldn't fill up very quickly. But, alas, it is getting too full rather quickly and that makes it slower than it should be. I haven’t been to successful in portioning my hard disk drive, as there really much free space to allocate to the areas that need it. I believe it is finally time to be thinking about a new hard drive and I am unsure as to which one I should get.

I remember the first computer which I had bought was an assembled pc with only a 10 GB hard disk drive. I kept upgrading my system as newer technologies came out and the situation demanded that I needed more hard disk drive space. These days, I have a 120GB hard disk drive system and this to seems just to small.

There are some hard drives out there that are so large they almost boggle the brain. I just don’t know if I should really upgrade my hard disk drive. It’s only two years old and I was thinking maybe I should either buy an external drive or get another internal one if I have the facility built in for it. But, I wonder how fast and dependable these extremely large drives are. So, I ask you this: How big is your hard drive? Have you ever had one of those 200GB hard drives monsters and did it work well?
