Feeling sick presents a particular challenge to me. I immediately feel entitled to sulk & watch TV & avoid responsibility because... "I don't feel good." It actually feels like breaking a universal rule to do otherwise - like I'm gonna get sicker if I don't obey the instinct to relax.
This is tough because I need to write a 5pg paper by tonight. And unfortunately it usually takes me an hour a page to write something valid enough to share with a professor - which would add up to 5 HOURS. I'm a turtle. I'm feeling unwell tonight (from lack of sleep & over-socialization), but I NEED to write this paper. And in less than 5 hours, so I can hurry up and get to the sack. All I want to do is veg, but the "I don't feel good" clause doesn't apply when a deadline is imminent. Maybe just a nap?
How do you deal with getting work done when you feel unwell in your bones & muscles & nasal canals?

Yes sickness feels like nothing if not an excuse to laze to me too. I hope you got shit done that you needed to get done.
