i just can't get work done
The story
It is currently 2:30 AM and i have an essay ahead of me that I am still yet to write. It's not because I forgot about it - it's all I have been thinking of this day, but for whatever reason, I'll get side-tracked any time I start doing it. It's almost like I am allergic to getting work done. I always make an effort to do it, but it's almost like I make a counter anti-effort in a burst of inspiration for literally anything else. I feel awful writing it, and wish to be doing something else, which is why I am always doing something else instead. I'm past the point of being mad over this, because this isn't a first occurrence, instead I'm making the calculations that.. yeah i'll get a maximum of 2 hours of sleep today. Headaches, here I come!

Procrastination can be a beast sometimes, right? It's like your brain just wants to rebel and do everything BUT the task at hand; Been there more times than I'd like to admit. Maybe try breaking the essay into smaller chunks and reward yourself after each part; that helped me get through college without pulling my hair out! Also, curious :p what's the topic of the essay? Sometimes wanting to avoid it is because it's not interesting 🤔
thanks for the kind words. it's about literature. "the hero of our time" by lermontov to be specific. and i am not a huge literature fan
ugh, i feel you 100%. it's like your brain goes into rogue mode right when you need it to focus the most. i've been in that same spot too many times, and no matter how much coffee or motivation speeches i listened to, it wouldn't make a difference 😂 have you tried like changing your environment? sometimes just moving my workspace around or working somewhere new helps snap me out of the procrastination funk. also, don't beat yourself up too much; it's not easy juggling all this stuff without wanting to run for the hills! good luck with those headaches tho... maybe keep some advil handy 🙃
thank u so much for the kind words! i'll try your tip for sure <3
Procrastination is like a stubborn virus infecting productivity, spreading doubt and guilt until you're drowning in self-annoyance; it truly feels like your mind is working against you 😬
