Every lie adds debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt has to repaid.

"Do it now. Future you will thank you for it. Don't piss him off." is what I tell myself these days.

Added to this is the aversion and guilt accumulated through a day of procrastination. Mentally it is a greater effort.

Procrastination is a curse and a blessing, you really gotta utilize it and procrastinate when needed. Sometimes the best decisions are not made right in this moment, but rather maybe tomorrow if you have actually thought about it and maybe had a few things happen to you on the way that pushed you into the right direction.

It’s not good that I procrastinate, but that’s how my brain manages to get things done well. I’ve put in the work to do things the “proper way” on many occasions. It all ends poorly. The issue is that this runs contrary to the way most others work. I do a lot of things including art as a hobby. I used to do commissions with a loose schedule. This ended in the project being drawn out indefinitely. Now I ask for a strict deadline from clients. Not only do I produce a superior product, but it’s done quickly. Idk why this is the case, but I’m sure others experience similar situations. Though don’t get it twisted, there are still many situations where procrastination absolutely screws me. It’s a part of my ADHD and I can see the pros and cons.

I started thanking myself as Im doing something I wanted to procrastinate and it keeps me a little more motivated. And when it’s done I thank myself again and let myself enjoy few seconds of accomplishment. I think people who have their shit together do this subconsciously, the rest of us need conscious effort because nobody praised us growing up for working hard.

Watching this and going back to procrastination

[Kkoinyuu]

Watching this when I finally finished my homework ❤

[CrimOudin]

Yeah, and all the brain cycles wasted on thinking of you should do it now or later. If you do it sooner, you save the time thinking about it. Which some things are super stressful to think about.

[ArmamentfJustice]

I struggle with mental inertia. If I procrastinate, things pile up and it sucks. If I try to fix stuff up, I feel compelled to work until it is done... which occasionally means I forget to eat or rest for hours on end.

I still have boxes to unpack from a move 4 months ago. I hate looking at them.
