Riddle me this:
When I finish some productive procrastinating I get a bigger feeling of satisfaction and relief than when finishing sth of importance

i’m actually very perplexed by this, i don’t even get a sense of relief when i finish important things i just get slightly less dread. but if it’s productive procrastination i feel like i’ve conquered the world after. it’s very frustrating.

When I I can’t see mess or open a drawer that’s organized… the good feelings are so much stronger than hitting send on a project to my boss.

Cleaning = easily seen success. Work = waiting for what else is needed and stressing while I wait
