bisam in English
I was procastinating a lot, and then ...
I used to be a huge procrastinator. A huge. I could spend a whole day thinking about a small task I have to do and finding a lot of other activities before realizing the day was ending. Some times, before going to bed, I was wondering about what I've done that day, and I can't figure out. I had a lot of stuff staying everywhere in my place, like an old computer I wanted to fix, some cooking stuff, etc. That was sometimes painful : I had to do some administrative tasks, I was finishing some important thing during the night because it had to be done in the morning, I was stressed by this situation. I hated this, but I can't help : I was procrastinating. Right now, I don't think I'm procrastinating too much. Okay, at this very moment I have just remember the existence of LangCorrect and wanted to see if I can write something interesting in English, in the middle of one or two other tasks. But as soon as I complete this text, I will go back to my other activities ... I think the big difference in my life is that now I do something only if I want it. And I want it because either it's like a game or something fun, or if I really need it. Some things doesn't fit with this new theory like I have some paperwork to do ... In this case, I try to think of my future me as a stranger I will give all the thing in my life. And I'm asking myself : "If I was this stranger, what would I think about the fact the current me didn't do this crap ?". Maybe, my way of thinking changed a bit. It try to avoid to think too much, on the long term, etc. It help me focus on the present activities and to lower the emotional impact attached to it if I fail something. There is also some changes in my life that help me to avoid procrastinating : I have no job, I live in a small place, I've disabled my phone notifications, the news, I avoid to look at the clock all the time, etc. etc. I'm not sure it's relevant there ... Finally, it's just that maybe procrastinating is now a harmless thing in my life ?
