When getting paid:

• translate
• procrastinate
• translate
• procrastinate
• finish first draft
• procrastinate
• edit for the first and last time
• procrastinate
• edit again, for good measure
• procrastinate
• throw a really final glance over the text, because you never know
• turn in (nearly precisely) on time

Translating for friends:

• translate
• translate
• translate
• finish first draft
• post, because my first drafts are freaking awesome – or at least better than some people’s final drafts would be
• mind my own business for a day or two
• decide that maybe I should throw another look over what I translated
• realize I have these annoying mistakes and weird phrasings in all sorts of places
• edit
• go „I will never do this again. I will edit before posting!”

Need to change the second one to look like the first O_o
