That was my diagnosis at The Procrastination Equation, with a score of 92/100. It's true enough; I procrastinate about housework, about doing things with the kids, about reading books, about writing, well, anything, and the list goes on. Hell, I'm even procrastinating over beta'ing a fic, and that's usually one of my better procrastination techniques.

The website says that I need to do three things: set goals, control stimuli, establish a routine. Since it's probably counterproductive to try and do all of these at once, maybe I'll start by listing out things that really do kind of need my attention, and then go from there. One of the less appealing aspects of being a stay-at-home-parent is that it works best if you've got great reserves of internal motivation; of course, grad students and scholars often thrive on external validation - or, at least, I did/do - so these are two mutually incompatible things that I seem to be caught in the middle of. It's...stressful, especially when I normally default to neat and organized; or, I did before the kids.

So, the list:

1. laundry - sounds simple enough, but suffice it to say I've had one pile on the floor waiting to be washed for three weeks now.
2. countertop excavation - this is where the kids keep their drawing stuff, and it's scattered everywhere.
3. syllabus preparation - yes, I know, total about-face. But it must be done, I haven't done it yet (nor any class prep, and my class is prep-intensive), so it makes the list.
4. office excavation - which would at least help to facilitate #3 there.
5. spend time with kids - you'd be appalled at how often I just hide out behind my laptop and hope they don't notice I'm there.
6. fic beta - it's not going anywhere.
7. research for possible article - this involves reading a LOT of fanfic...in Japanese.

I might add more, but I have a 4 yo throwing toys at a 7 yo...intervention time.
