Do you suddenly pick up a hobby or find something to fix or clean the second you have something actually important to do?
Yes?
Ok good, me too.
For years I’d find myself deep cleaning random crevices at the most inconvenient moments, and always right before I had to do the one thing I didn’t want to do that day.
That’s when I realized, I procrastinate whenever I don’t want to do something.
Recognizing this pattern was mind blowing (don’t judge me I’ve only had my frontal lobe fully cooked for maybe 10 years).
Now that I know this about myself, whenever I find myself in a random corner scrubbing a tiny crack with a toothbrush, I ask myself, “wait, what am I avoiding?”. It’s almost always an innocuous email that could’ve been answered in maybe 3 minutes if I typed slowly.
