In part, I think it’s my training as an editor. I am editing as I write, which can stifle the writing process. Another issue might be that I am am too picky with putting words on a page. I tend to want the best words instead of just free-writing to get something out there.

Honestly, relaxation most of the time. I’ve been working on it though.
Yeah, I’m extremely driven, to a fault. I just have to remind myself to be human, and I did that this weekend. So glad I did.

Honestly EVERYTHING – I constantly feel like I’m just rotating through different tasks to procrastinate, or like I have an impossible checklist of tasks that I’m perpetually behind on. The only thing I don’t procrastinate is reading, but sometimes I use reading as a way to procrastinate on other tasks.
The black hole of internet clicking related-articles-links, reading stuff I’m interested in, and reframing and redefining and reviewing my inner schema of psycho-(il)logical septum sapientia. In my mind, outside of time, swimming/ singing/ skipping/ sinking/ screaming/ swinging/ swirling/ spiraling/ sailing/ sea-shanty shit-stirring solipsising sentences like spells by rhyming words like iambus. Like now! Words woven in wicked ways. Silly and serious and spiritually cirrus… something something colloquium . 🤘🤠🦊😎👍😂🍌🙊🔮
Writing and reading. And doing tasks that might seem miniscule at first but takes up more time than i expected when i finally do it. Everything takes more tine than we think
Very true. But how do you stop procrastinating on when you shoukd stop procrastinating… Hope you get what i mean?

Maybe if you don’t think about procrastination at all and you just try to concentrate on the things you need to do? Acting like procrastination doesn’t exist in this world.
Oh! Were we supposed to write what causes us to procrastinate? Um.. well then, my procrastination sub-program activates anytime I’m supposed to do something, like follow through on whatever thing I told myself or someone else I would do. Responsibilities? Pfft. I rue thee for all I rule
I landed a new job that sucks away a lot of my energy, plus on the weekends the house/domestic side beckons too loudly. Plus…no inspiration until lately.
Instead of studying I would play games on my laptop
What are you studying (or should be studying)?
Studying for the exam. IT Network Systems
Writing. I am a part-time journalist, blogger, and grad student, but I have the hardest time writing. Is that insane?
It sounds very tough indeed. In your opinion, why do you have such hard time writing?

If you’re working on it, I’m sure that will improve 🙂

Have you tried setting up a schedule and trying to stick to it?

And if this issue didn’t exist, what would you do?
If what didn’t exist? Procrastination, or my wordy warble?
The procrastination 🙂
Lol I have to many to count
Which ones are the most time consuming?
Playing on my cell, video games, tv
Writing and reading. And doing tasks that might seem miniscule at first but takes up more time than i expected when i finally do it. Everything takes more tine than we think
Yes, it does. And the longer we spend thinking about them instead of working on the them, the longer that takes.

Putting laundry away 😒
same.. hate laundry
🙌😂😂
How much time does that take?
I delay until both laundry baskets are full
Physically, laundry. Mentally, reading books.

Haha okay
Interesting! How come reading books are your main mental area of procrastination?
I have trouble relaxing enough to sit still to read. Easily lost in thought.
I generally procrastinate on tasks either without a hard deadline or that I am not passionate about.
Does that procrastination ever bother you?
Calling the doctor, calling my mom/dad….honestly, I’m not a fan of talking to people on the phone. I’m anxious.
If you think about calling someone, what goes through your mind that makes you anxious?
That they were busy doing something else, or they’re going to ask me a million questions that I don’t have answers for…
Returning emails…or writing (not writing at all these past few months)
How come you didn’t write at all these past few months?
I landed a new job that sucks away a lot of my energy, plus on the weekends the house/domestic side beckons too loudly. Plus…no inspiration until lately.
