      I don't really think laziness exists. "Lazy" is a moral judgement. I think it's more constructive to approach problems as "problems" rather than judging them to be "bad character traits" or whatever.

      I'm anglo-swiss, in my mid-thirties, and I do a whole lot of things, mainly around sharing my expertise on online culture and communcation (social media these days). I've been around the space for longer than most, and I have a hard time introducing myself. I prefer sending people over to http://climbtothestars.org and http://stephanie-booth.com, though I'm aware both these sites can be more confusing than anything. Oh well.

      Good question! I haven't decided yet, though I have written the dates down in my agenda. It depends on finances and time for travel, and there are a lot of moving parts in those departments for me these days, so I can't really say.

      I'd love to, though.

      Well, it's a bit of an unfair question between the three as I'm absolutely not as fluent in Hindi (I assume that's what you meant by "India") as French and English, which are my two languages.

      Honestly, I really can't choose. I'm happiest when I can speak both. Take one away for any extended period of time... and I miss it horribly.

      Only pink, actually! Sometime in 2003 I started toying with the idea of putting some colour in my hair (I had never done it). Red, brown, something like that.

      Conversation with my hairdresser made us settle on pink (it's a colour that suits me well and that I liked wearing). I've stuck to it since late 2003, in various forms (I'm a bit less pink now than in some of my avatar photos).

      I like being able to change the mixture of pink and blond!

      Early on, when I started exploring the big bad internet, I was very very careful about protecting my real identity (hard to believe now, isn't it?)

      So I used nicknames, and at one point I wanted something that sounded like a real name. As I was hanging around in Indian chatrooms at the time, I chose something Indian, and that fit with an e-mail address I had just registered: climbtothestars@operamail ("tara" means "star" in Hindi).

      So before I was myself online, I was "Tara Star" :-)

      Hah, good question! I'll have to check with my hairdresser next time I go. I think it's a number rather than a colour, in fact. Sorry I don't have more information!

      I think that if you read my recent posts on the subject http://climbtothestars.org/tags/procrastination/ it's clear that I approach procrastination as mainly a psychological issue. There is a behaviour layer that can be solved through organisation methods, but the root of the problem is deep down inside you.
