Procrastination

Quote
Procrastination is the avoidance of doing a task which needs to be accomplished.[1] It is the practice of doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, or carrying out less urgent tasks instead of more urgent ones, thus putting off impending tasks to a later time. Sometimes, procrastination takes place until the "last minute" before a deadline. Procrastination can take hold on any aspect of life — putting off cleaning the stove, repairing a leaky roof, seeing a doctor or dentist, submitting a job report or academic assignment or broaching a stressful issue with a partner. Procrastination can lead to feelings of guilt, inadequacy, depression and self-doubt.

Am I the only one here suffering from this?  :wink:

Yes, the rest of us aren't human.
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

All day every day, doing it right now as we speak.
Paprika: ...the Internet and dreams are similar. They're areas where the repressed conscious mind escapes.

 :wink: Fair enough, but there're people who fulfil their duties as quickly as they can.

I'm procrastinating to the point where it should be a clinical disorder or something. Lazy people ain't got nothing on me. I'd watch chinese cartoons, play cRPG and other autistic games, and sleep 12+ hours a day rather than do anything productive at all. Because of this, I've failed as a human bean in almost every way - no friends, no real jobs, no significant eduaction, no future. I used to have dreams, but now all I want is to be a NEET. Unfortunately only the luckiest of us get that privilege. I guess this happens to people intelligent enough to have it easy at school, but dumb enough to not see the grim future that comes from slacking. The more you procrastinate, the more it becomes a part of you. I've failed once at university, and it looks like I'm going to fail again.

thx for letting me rant a bit fam ;)

Rico says I'm the worst case around. While that may be true, I'm bit of a special case. Unable to take anything seriously (will joke about anything, really, no taboos but I do find some things disrespectful especially matters of life and death), ever since nearly drowning in a lake twelve years ago. People say that's like getting second chance to do it right whatever this means but I'm just unable to see what's right and what's not. Actually not right thing for me is to mess with other peoples lives. Rest is just idgaf. Near death experience helped me realize how life is kinda pointless. Still would want to continue my line, that's pretty much my only goal in life.

So yeah, I'm not that unreliable, will do menial tasks for you if reasonable. Up to that point I'm dependable. But have zero ambition to rule over mankind so to speak. To get better for the sake of being better than fellow human. Getting better for myself mostly at my own pace.

Used to spend a lot of time playing cRPG, stopped doing that altogether. Playing games a lot less than before but still there are some games that take my attention and make me obsessive compulsive as always. Strange thing is, I still play those highly adictive games less than average human do. I mean, Factorio is basically achievements game. You unlock thing after thing that lets you make more things to unlock different things... it's vicious circle. Everything takes so much time before you automate it all when it becomes pointless to play anymore. Many video games are like that, specifically designed to be time consuming. Still, I play Factorio less than others do.

But playing less games didn't change my drive so to speak. There is little of it despite not spending much time on trivial bullshit. Wouldn't call it apathy, that's a state of being miserable. Which I'm not. Just not particularly engaged emotionally into things. Just can't. Psychologically a bit broken after that accident and analyzing people behavior didn't help either. Can't involve myself with human apart from those few I really like. That reflect at everything else because we are human made, human driven society and if you're not the one to engage with humans actively and passionately you're not going to get anywhere in human terms in this world created by humans.

Nope, pretty much describes my life.
And now he can't play because of "common sense" and he doesn't understand how this common sense works

I am so since childhood and somehow alive and happy. Remember the most important thing - time wasted on pleasure is not wasted. For me, time is wasted when people working only for money.

If they just prescribed Adderall for all of us we would destroy every task in front of us.

I just moved from Hawaii...

Waited like 48 hours before my flight to even begin packing... then had to pack like a madman for every waking hour up to flying out. Had to have the buddies drop my car off for shipment because I waited too long to book the shipping/transportation.  :|  They saved my ass on that one.
8 boxes through fedex: $535, Car shipment from Hawaii>California: $1100, 1 way plane ticket, coach: $275.

I made it, still waiting on car though.
