excellent procrastination remedy: the dash!
Ever since I was a kid, the more “undone” projects I had looming over me, whether it be homework, chores, obligations, anything “work-like” that I just plan didn’t want to do, the longer I went without doing it, the greater sense of unease I would feel. It was like a light anxious pressure. Sometimes, I wouldn’t even know what the feeling was. I just knew that something didn’t feel right.
The fastest and easiest way I found to get rid of this feeling was just to do something and do it right away. One of the jobs, some of the jobs, part of a job, all of the jobs, whatever. Just doing an instant burst of activity was the surest method of releasing the pressure that I felt.
And now I have a name for it — the dash.
Wait… I’m feeling it right now…
Damn.
