Instead of putting away this side project, maybe just finish it while I’m at it. Now what was I hung up on last…
Instead of either of those things, why not scroll your phone for a few hours?
“I have too much to do, so I’m going to take a nap.” Galaxy brain logic there, self.
Me last night: I don’t have much free time before my friend is coming over so I better cleanup some of the sprawling messes. Also me: I’ve never taken the espresso machine apart to clean it before, so that should be my priority!
I have so much to do I’d better have a coffee
Slurp
I’m so tired I need a nap, but I’m too full of caffeine to take one
Scrolls mindlessly
My move in those situations is to leave the house so i can’t be distracted by stuff at home. I then spend the next several hours trying to find the right place where i can work, none of which actually lead to me working, and then eventually it’s time to go home and start trying to get my brain into sleep mode for the night. See?! Problem solved!!
I hate you.
Well I think you’re lovely
ok fine, I love you too
Love you more!
“How can you expect me to concentrate when there is one (1) empty coffee cup on my desk? I need to clean up this chaotic mess. It’s Too LOUD!”
also if you remove the coffee cup, you suddenly realize how clean-cut the borders of the desk are and that distracts you too
also look at all this dust on the desk
this is inacceptable. i have to spend 15 minutes first cleaning the desk with soap. but when i did that, it’s wet and i can’t put anything there. so i have to cook food and eat first. but after that my tummy is fully and i have no energy left to think. 1 hour later ok let’s do this. ok wait it only took 15 minutes to do all the homework.
We are all ADHD Alice, tumbling down the rabbit hole.
fxomt is that you? :D
Lack of executive function = your brain and your body are no longer on speaking terms.
that’s the best description that i’ve heard so far
basically your brain demands your body to do stuff that your body instinctively knows are bullshit
bullshit jobs everywhere. we’re so estranged from the environment, we work for other people’s pocket all the time, and nothing of this economy we own. of course our bodies rebel.
Except that it also happens with shit you love doing. That’s kinda how I realized there was something wrong with me and I wasn’t just lazy/didn’t wanna do certain things.
“I want to do this. I am motivated to do this. Why the hell am I not able to make myself start doing it?”
:/
Mine only meet once a day when I’m exercising 🤷
I hate this post
Basically whole my life since 6 y.o. up until now. That is a reason why I hate any kind of homework, and especially working remotely — because it makes work essentially a homework.
