Weaponized procrastination. Avoid doing the thing you want to do by doing something else.
Just the other day I cleaned most of my apartment because I was not in the headspace to write lore.
Another day I really needed to do laundry, most productive writing day I had in a while.
I use to say. My flat is never as clean as when I have to study. I never study as much as when I really have to clean. It never really occurred to me that I can weaponize this. Thanks!
We call that “productive procrastination.” But I like how you call it weaponized.
Yeah after the first two words I thought this was going to involve knives or guns 😳
Nobody says it cant.
That's how do most of my tasks.
I read this as "weaponized prostitution" at first and was ready to hear how it works for some people, because it sure as hell didn't work for me.
