Meanwhile, my ADHD: Why not both?
Overwhelmed by the presence of the unbelievable number of 2 tasks and be bored by the distraction I use to procrastinate
and then rely on the procrastination anxiety to push you to get those number 2 tasks done
Or conclude that you’ll never possibly be able to complete that many tasks and spend the next 6 hours on Urban Dictionary only to learn that a bussy can have rizz and be the drip
Why play life on easy mode, when you can play on god mode?
And people wonder why I cheat in single player video games!
That’s my escapism and wish fulfilment time, don’t need it to be as frustratingly difficult as the real world!
I’ve finally hit the age that Story Mode is my preferred game method.
Switched to that in Baldurs Gate today. Much better. When I want to tryhard something, it’ll better give me RL rewards like a job or a child that has any chance in life I can give him. Video Games are there to relief stress.
That’s exactly the game I was referring to.
So much fun when I can simply enjoy the experience.
So bored, so much schoolwork to do. 😮💨
Same. Chiming in from my desk. With 50 unread emails. And a 7 figure capital project in progress I really need to be calling vendors about status updates.
Haven’t hit the procrastination ----> anxiety hyper focus tipping point yet.
Dude I feel you
Ideal scenario: low stakes high priority items I hear about the morning of, can complete without having to consult anything else, and can slack off the other hour or two with no other ongoing tasks.
Don’t stop, I’m so close
Oh and you figured how to optimize the process by 10 minutes and figured out a problem you hadn’t dealt with before by finding a co-worker’s previous document, which only took you 15 minutes. The contractor praises you for the quick turnaround.
Better than porn
Me, every single time I have an extended amount of time off from work. There’s so much time I can do anything I want, what’s there even to do. What do I want to do? Wrestle with that until the last day then find something I really want to do and end up not having a lot of time for it.
Why did you have to make it hot 😡
Don’t do this to me lol
Don’t worry. Until given a deadline it’ll be literally impossible for me to do anything about it.
I’ve had to tell my manager this. He’s like “no problem set one!” and I had to tell him “I understand this sounds like the worst thing for an employee to say, but I need you to set the deadline and I need you to hold me accountable. I need a tiny bit of external pressure.” He’s been very understanding without micro managing have to give credit
That’s AWESOME! It’s so rare to find a manager who will actually listen and help out like that. That’s great!
Yeah I got pretty lucky. I can be very frank about what I need, and he can be very frank about expectations. We just don’t run into confusion on these issues as a result. Works great.
me: bored because there’s too much to do
Me: Be bored cuz there’s nothing new to do. I don’t wanna do repetitive things 😤
Once I started taking medication and doing work that I enjoy, I haven’t been bored a single day.
However, being overwhelmed is an agonizing constant in my life
Writing a huge to do list to front load my day with fantasies about things I will do.
