Why I am so good at procrasti-chores? I am just barely trying to get down to what I need to do in terms of today’s meeting, but in the meantime I’ve cleared so many nitty gritty issues - filed a PHI claim, made a dentist booking (last available for the year - procrastinated for AGES on this), contacted old water company to get credit refund, inquired about 2025 parking permit, found out medical whatever letter process, sent a bunch of emails and put in a bunch of calendar appointments etc…
okay, focus, focus, spatial sampling, do the voronoi polygons or whatever, come on
The brain is funny like that - “oh I have to do this shit thing? Well I’m gonna do the other shit things instead, for the dopamine hit. But! I can’t do fun things or I’ll feel guilty! So admin chores it is!”
Whoa that’s a productive day in my book! Even though it was a distraction to your other task but still, give yourself credit for the things you ticked off the list.

Nailed it - that’s exactly what my troll brain is doing :|
Trying to find dopamine in all the wrong places…
At least you were on a roll and managed to get tons of stuff done!
You’ll feel better after it’s all over though.
So relatable.
Hrmm I’m leaving that one to giraffes they can deal with that one.

Such a good term!
I am a professional when it comes to these. 😂
Better than procrastiscrolling or procrastigaming, i figure! Maybe I’ll call it… procrastiductivity.
