Me: Fuck you past me! Always leaving me to clean up your mess!
Also me: Fuck you future me! You deal with this!
Better than my asshole roommate who constantly leaves his clothes on the floor and dishes unwashed in the sink.
Full disclosure: I live alone
I’ve got the same roommate and he smokes all my fucking weed.
sounds like a real asshole, I hope he at least pays your rent
I’ve had a week to do 2 hours max of work. It’s due 2 days ago. I’ll start it tomorrow.
The thing is, if you would have done the 2 hours of work immediately, and within 2 hours, you would just be bringing attention to the fact that you only needed 2 hours and you will get more work assigned to you with no benefit whatsoever.
Now they think it actually takes a week, and you’ve properly set their expectations to 2 hours of work per week.
Fwiw, I believe in you and your ability to do the 2 hours of work!
I struggle to get shit done too, but it gets done, checkmate naurospicies! :p
It is not always possible to guess which problem will become a huge problem and which will just quietly dissolve on its own.
I was very aware of the huge issue it would be. I had a literal year if not two to work out something. I was aware all along it would be life ruining and in my mental state, probably suicide inducing.
And I starred at the task doing nothing until it hit me. Yeah.
I didn’t kill myself. I have a second try. Check on me in October.
Ok, I will. 'Till October…
That’s a solid point. Most issues just stop being personal issues when they reach a certain magnitude.
The problem, as I see it, is all the damage that wave creates on its way through. Because it’s often a lot, like the tsunami depicted.
My current recommended strategy: turn around and look the other way. Now all you see is a sunny beach and nice palm trees.
If I’d known that inevitable death was that easy I’d have put shit off even sooner.
