I feel called out on a personal level
Anyone else like this?

@Meemoo so true
-
@Meemoo I was like that at university. I had courses where you were expected to work on one big personal project for the entirety of the semester, but I'd wait until the last 2 or 3 days to crank it out.
It always turned out just fine though. The lowest score I ever got in doing that was a 95 out of 100 or so.
A true testament as to how poor quality most universities are.

@handsomewinner I've been doing this all semester.
I have one course that requires me to write a research paper and we get a deadline for each section every 2 weeks
I always get it done 1 day before deadline after being anxious for a while and I don't understand why I'm like this.
-
@Meemoo @handsomewinner like a meme said "when you know the work is terrible but you're just glad it's over with"
-
@Meemoo You may just need to plan ahead and fall into a routine of some sort. Set some time aside in the evening for an hour or two and schedule it. Have an alarm ready to go off about 15 minutes or so before to remind yourself, then get ready, remove all distractions you can think of, and work until the time is up.
The important part is to be consistent. Stick to the same times on the same days of the week each week.
I typically play some kind of noise like rain or ocean waves whenever I'm working on something at my computer by the way. I end up being much more productive than I am with an anime girl singing in my ears.
-
@handsomewinner :naruhodo: that sounds like a good strat
I can sympathize with the rain thing.
I usually play no-talking ASMR to help me relax and focus better
-
@monsterislandcolonizer it's not that I don't care, i just feel extreme pressure when starting things. I work just fine after I start it's just the entry that's an issue
-
@Meemoo It means you don't gaf about whatever it is you're supposed to be working on
But you know there will be consequences.
I was like this in high school but not in college because when I went to college I was married with a baby on the way so I couldn't afford to not care.
The irony is that procrastination makes the anxiety worse so you're just torturing yourself if you do that.
-
@Minty but that's what the images refer to :gura_what:
Procrastinating work til the last minute then getting it all done somehow under extreme pressure
-
@Meemoo not me. I put things off a ton till the last minute and ended up doing an entire semesters work in one day, not sleeping and then ridding energy drinks to make it through the next before violently crashing on my day off and learning nothing from what I experienced :SayoriFingerguns:
-
@Minty yeah multiple assignments at once sounds like a nightmare
I'd give up honestly
-
@Meemoo true but it said that multiple things at once made them lose the motivation. I'm the extreme. I only do it when there's far more than one thing. :SayoriFingerguns:
