"Apnience"

I've coined a new term:

APNIENCE (n) the feeling of irritation when, despite knowing you have tasks in hand, you seem to unconsciously fill in time doing insignificant and/or irrelevant actions.

Myself I've been feeling very apnient lately. I know I've got many things I should be doing: to the house, to the garden, to my career etc and I know how important they all are yet I seem to waste hours browsing the web or reading magazines. What I need is a swift kick up the arse - someone to push me to do these things when I think of them instead of writing lists of things "to do" and then ignoring them.

Yours apniently, theworm.
