  I once read someone make a point (more eloquently than me) that procrastination is your brain’s internal bullshit detector. For example, if a lion were to break into your room right now, you would get the fuck up and flee no matter how lazy/neet you may be. Therefore the matters you procrastinate on are a big old bag of hooey (according to your mind).

    I procrastinate on cooking and then complain that I’m hungry and there’s no time to make food. I think my brain is broken.

      your brain is fully aware that you can just have two handful of nuts and be good for a couple of hours. Just because your brain also believes that you gotta have a proper meal doesn’t matter

      Not missing a meal (or a few even) won’t kill you, try getting to a starving state and then see if your brain let’s you park your ass on the couch.

    I watched it instead of doing an assignment in high school. Made a lot of sense and little difference.

    Just looked it up. It’s a talk based on the Wait But Why? blog: www.youtube.com/watch?v=arj7oStGLkU

    FYI, the name for the thing he’s describing is ADHD. The “rational decision maker” is called executive function.

  executives call a variation this “optimization”. oh it took you four weeks instead of five? do it in four next time. give me a 300,000 dollar bonus please

    As a software engineer, the trick is to never tell them it takes four weeks, you promise 5 weeks, procrastinate for 4, and do it in 2, blaming the extra on software being hard. Most execs understand that, and only being a week late is pretty good (my boss adds 2 weeks to all my estimates for his own reporting).

    True. I have a tendency to behave like this when it comes to work like this, and whenever I do it almost always leads to a bunch of unnecessary stress. It has genuinely made me better at solving problems on the fly, but I don’t need that skill as much when I just plan a little better and actually stick to it.

      Yes, It’s horrible, and can lead to minimizing any responsibilities you have. Even if you consciously want to accept a new responsibility/task, and have pre-planned how to do it well; Yet, you’ll struggle to keep the promise to yourself. Self-blame will only make it worse.

      Near the deadline the brain has (at best) already done all the work subconsciously, and you only to manifest the thing into reality. Don’t doubt this, trashing the subconscious work is the worst thing you can do to yourself in a such situation.

      (I’m not 100% sure I’m talking about the same subject, but anyway.)
