Assignment: Swedish Design and Innovation

As I sit down (on an Ikea 'Geff' chair at my Ikea 'Meuble' desk) to begin my first PROPER assignment for DCU, I am finding myself slipping back into old habits. Old study habits that is. I sat down at 1pm this afternoon with an entire afternoon set aside to Creativity & Innovation ( as the course title suggests) but have not really been creative or innovative in my study methods. Instead I have:

•  made a cup of tea (steeped to perfect I might add)
• called my sister-in-law to chat about babies
• browsed Facebook for friends up-to-the-minute posts
• reviewed last nights Twitter chats with classmates (informative and possibly drunken?) 
• organised my binder of papers from last weeks class.

I have a designated study space in the spare bedroom which is nicely lit by natural lighting and a power-save light bulb. I have a clear head and feel quite determined to finish at least my research portion for this Ikea project. However, my old study procrastination routine has crept back in to existence after nearly three years away from academia. How can I have learned nothing from past mistakes?! Am I doomed like the Titanic project (great workshop with David Staunton on Wednesday) ?! 

Now I'm tempted to logon to Moodle and peruse the forum post.....
