I just saw this very interesting perspective on the difference between academic and industry jobs on twitter (see @xanvong). I had never thought of "battling procrastination" as an important aspect of my job, but now that I think about it, the struggle is real! In fact, now that I think about it, a related struggle is worrying about which projects to work on, should I respond to a coauthor or should write a new problem set today, etc. Maybe I should write a blog entry instead. ;)
Also, the pay is different. People don't like to talk about that but it does have an impact on people's lives.
