I think something is wrong with me then. When I start something early it normally ends up with me losing momentum part way through, stopping for ages, then having to work like mad at the end anyway. That or I end up changing project idea and having to start again. Both of these ended up happening with my dissertation.
Like even when I start stuff at the right time it goes to shit. Somehow when I do stuff last minute it mostly turns out fine.
I too like to live dangerously.
Took me a long time to change the batteries in the smoke detector. Only did it because it stopped beeping. I too like to live dangerously
My smoke detectors are still in the original packaging.
Nothing like the pressure of last minute to be productive!
I’ve often stated that Past-Me is always hassling Present-Me with reminders of things I’m supposed to do. That asshole just loves setting a ton of notifications to fire throughout the day, making me feel bad for being a lazy procrastinator.
You can try to convince me but my brain thinks that’s some kind of propaganda.
“Curse you, past me!”
If it’s due in 10 minutes it only takes 10 minutes to do.
The stress is what gives me the motivation to do the work. So no.
Future discounting bias
I’m closing this tab now. If you see me back on here in the next few hours, you have my permission to tell me to fuck off.
How’d you get a picture of me last weekend?
Hi, dropping in to say that everyone who relates to this has undiagnosed ADHD. Getting diagnosed at 29 was life changing for me
Literally everyone relates to this.
If you believe something as common as this is sufficient to diagnose a mental disorder, you might’ve been misdiagnosed (or your diagnosis was explained insufficiently).
My friend, you think this likely because your family exhibits these traits (genetics) as do your friends(attracted to like groups). You’re using two ADHD meme traits, like thinking everyone feels this way and using extra parentheses (for bonus content). I bet you’ve also been told that you’re not living up to your potential (and that’s true!).
If you want something objective, have a coffee or two at 6pm and see if you’re still able to fall asleep that night. The neuro typical folks would be unable to quiet down their brain.
