A thread to procrastinate about procrastination! it's like procrastination inception!
This actually has helped me a bit. Though i'm sure it is temporary, i've been a little less procrastinaty lately. but mostly that is when you focus on the problem you can mitigate it a bit just by that. like he says in the 2nd post, the wad to do one, just naming these things helped him. like, shit, i'm in the dark playground again self!!
ok, maybe more late. gotta go. have fun.  |

A thread to procrastinate about procrastination! it's like procrastination inception! i'm procrastinating right NOW! RIGHT NOW i'm procrastinating. ;hyper;; i read these a LONG time ago, but pretty much everything he writes is good. and his drawings also:  "most of you reading this right now are likely in the dark playground" indeed fine sir! indeed. |

]i'm procrastinating right NOW! RIGHT NOW i'm procrastinating. ;hyper;; might as well make it fun! as a long time procrastinator it's hard to tell where procrastination ends and actual leisure time begins. like it all feels like procrastination. for example, even at work it is normal to have breaks and things. but since you procrastinate it's like you already had a break! so then on your real break it's like i should be doing something now to make up for all that other nonwork time i did. but i need to eat so! anyway, a viscous circle of procrastination begetting more and making legit break-times less pleasant. i like that his drawings work but are also terrible. inspires me. |

anyway. it's weird to put off stuff that i actually would enjoy, mostly, like editing our video. or working on our cartoon idea. i'm like SELF! what is that about?! you WANT to do that! so why aren't you!? self! i do not know! i have excuses!!
haah. indeed you do fine self. you always do.
right. i definitely feel like "i don't know how" or "i'm not good at that" or "that will be too much work" are all bullshit excuses for not doing stuff. |

Interesting. Did something happen? Is there anything specific that warrants that meme? Inquiring minds would like to read about it instead of doing other stef!!

exactly!! i would think there can't be too many others who execute this with such ease and fluidity. it's that air of effortlessness that puts us in a class above.

So this is a place where we can talk about stuff that we can't talk about. i saw a human today, or an alien in a human suit. hard to tell. and i was thinking, when your walk becomes a waddle, that's when you should think about some lifestyle change regarding your weight and stuff. Like, that's the cutoff for me.
not that there's anything wrong with that.
