i am so good at deluding myself that what i do doesn't matter. in any given moment i can pretend that my not doing what i should be doing will not impede my happiness in the long run. in other words, i can lie to myself so well that i convince myself that i don't have to get work done, and i can just relax. i almost get high off that. i guess it's a kind of rebellion. i'm doing it right now.
Welcome! I do the same thing, in fact I read over what you wrote again because it seems so familiar to me but I never exactly put it into words. Maybe it could be because we feel that our actions are really insignificant and don't matter? Or is it just denial - I'm great at denial! Deep...
I have something to do after work tomorrow, no kidding - can't be put off another day. That means I have to get to work on time so I can leave on time. I'm tired - I stayed up too late last night. Time to get to bed so I can get up early.
