Thanks everyone. Glad I’m not the only one who has to (ahem) bear this affliction.

“Like when the young jobseeker Princeton receives his allowance from his parents, and the Bad Idea Bears are on hand to persuade him to spend the money on beer”

Who said it was a bad idea for a kid to buy beer?
Just kidding. Thanks for the tip. IT kind of helped me. I think that the Bad Idea Bears are just another myth, kind of like Freedom for All, Hope and Change, and the Tooth Fairy.

Nice article!

I have trouble detecting my Bad Idea Bears as they dress up as the Good Idea Gophers and trick me when I’m not expecting it. I’m going to stick the lot of them in a boxing ring and let them get on with it, while I do something productive!

Bad idea bears usually encourage me to buy something right before it goes on sale for half price.

Raid needs to come out with a line of sprays to get rid of them. They just keep coming back for more!

Anyways, yes, if we just do & remember the accomplishment of getting set task done, they tend to leave ya alone

Funny story – This article was my bad news bear today. I was just about to get started on a project I have been putting off, and then I saw a tweet pass through my screen with this link. Had to click and read. Glad I did though, because now I have to beat the bears and get started on my project!

Thanks for the great aticle.

@ Stacy – I’m thinking of writing about “the internet is for porn” next week. I’m sure it would bring in some new readers via Google.

Thanks everyone – Wow those bears are busy critters! Sounds like they cover more ground than Santa!

@ Mary Anne – great productivity advice, sounds like a post in itself.

@ Tracy – Yeah, wait for the perfect time and you’ll be waiting a long time… Bukowski wrote a poem about that, I’m sure Amy could talk about it.
