It was a phone call. That’s literally it. I spent months procrastinating making a phone call that ended up being short and virtually painless.

    Fucking congrats fella!!!

    I’m trying to do at least twenty… Ten… At least ten minutes of work each hour.

    But I don’t dare make any of the phone calls or emails I’m supposed to be doing, that shits too daunting.

      I am very present on Teams helping wherever I can. But I have done almost none of the documentation or project analysis I should have

        The worst thing about having a massive workload is I’ll likely never get through all the tasks in time.

        The best is thing is when I’m in a constant sprint from one task to the next, it’s easier to lie to myself and say “I can’t do the documentation now, but I’ll get to it later when it’s quiet”

        But it never gets quiet anymore.

    Congrats, OP. We all know the very real problem that is. I have several of those waiting to get done, some are even things I want to do! You’ve earned a cookie.

    Time management? It sounds more like avoidance of a task that you have anxiety about, which is a very typical behavior of ADHD.

        Ride the success and just do other bullshit stuff you’ve put off too - seriously tho, good job on making the call. I feel your pain

          There was a while there that I was getting my car inspected right on schedule EVERY 2 years.

          My state has annual inspections.

            I rarely ever say this but thanks Michigan, for making me forget car inspections are a thing

            Also red light cameras and speed cameras and other camera traffic enforcement, illegal here

            Don’t be too jealous though everything else inspired by the car companies’ influence is shite

                True! I’m so glad I discovered a dispo that has 1G live resin vape carts for $11 (!) before tax. And this is rec! Wish I still had my medcard so I wouldn’t have to pay the sin tax lol

            In Virginia, there are only 3 colors for inspection stickers. I figure if you dodge cops for two full years expired you earned that free matching color year.

              California had a new color seemingly every year, my buddy took 7 years to get pulled over. He’s a rich fuck too, no idea why he didn’t pay his registration.

    I’m procrastinating a very easy task as well. I’ve been putting it off because I am sick. It’ll take like 5 mins and I just can’t get myself to do it.
