I often am aware of my own procrastinating
I sometimes tell myself "just x more minutes" etc. etc.
But these days when I am procrastinating (like filling out this survey instead of doing my work) I KNOW I am procrastinating. In the case of this survey, it is partically justifiable because being a part of a community and dealing with procrastination is important for me, but when I play video games or watch YouTube videos, etc. I KNOW I am procrastinating, and I tell myself: "You lazy, no-good f*****r. Why the h**** are you doing this instead of doing your work?????"
But ultimately, I usually ignore that voice and keep procrastinating.
Doesn't anyone else do that? Is it just me??
::raises hand:: i totally do
::raises hand:: i totally do that.
then i find i become defensive against that nagging voice and keep telling myself i still cant do the task required. self-resistance lol.
