Today is the Monday after our National Day - a school holiday. You would think that Sensei would make full use of this day, marking his students’ scripts and unpacking his stuff in his newly renovated flat.
Instead, he squandered it on having two naps and watching Squid Game. He’s frantically posting here to keep his cowboy hat. Maybe mark three students’ scripts before he has to pick up his children.
You can either share how you take it easy and commiserate with him or reveal your super packed schedule and make him feel in awe of your discipline.
Ready, set, go!
My day just started, it's "packed", but it matters with what, and i feel like I'm busy while procrastinating.
Well done!
I’m the sort to push everything aside to help out a friend. We are loyal like that.
I like the way you framed the dog care as an opportunity for exercise. That way, you won’t feel Ike you are not optimising your time.
I can give you a nudge 12 hours from now so that you get some motivation to write those docus haha
Their dog is among the most hyperactive ones I've ever seen. So I just go for a run with him, and while we do that, once he stops running it means I've sufficiently done my job, and we can walk back. It truly is exercise with this dog if you give it what it wants. Another upside is that when he's as tired as I make him, he won't bother me while I work. Snore time literally just started. lol.
Haha thanks! Let's see how disciplined I turn out to be.
Sounds like parenting a child. Expend its energy so that you can do your own stuff afterwards.
Here’s the nudge, albeit belated. Hope you got to do some writing that you love
Thanks! I've done about a quarter of what I would like to have done. But at least made some progress and I'll just try to work harder today to make up for it.
Dog whisperer
Some days you ride the bull, some days you nap in the barn. If you wrangled three scripts and kept your cowboy essentials (hat, gun and horse) I’d call that a win. Tomorrow’s the day for the rodeo.
Yeehaw!
Yeehaw! This meme is so cute. Made me smile.
Yes, I will try to resume my relentless pace tomorrow
Who likes to balance these?
Either you're procrastinating or you're productive. You can't be both at the same time.
But to be super productive we can comment or post on SN while procrastinating for everything else.
Oh I like this nuanced answer. I think it’s worth procrastinating everything else to be productive here
Either you are productive or procrastinating is nuance???
I tell myself everything i'm doing is for my kids so no matter how down I get, I push myself to just do it
Ironically, I find parenting so energy-sapping that I need to have alone time and rest more so that I have the energy to deal with my kids haha.
It’s great that you are always so motivated!
I don’t help
Help who? Humanity? Or your wifey?
You are a teacher, so I imagine that procrastinating is not something you do often. Don't call it procrastinating, it's more like a well-deserved rest for your mind after the holidays. Since I learned that procrastination is nothing more than our mind's defense against something it perceives as dangerous, I have improved a lot and procrastinate less. I am always alert, or almost always.
I procrastinate by starting new projects which at least is somewhat productive unproductivity
I don’t think you need to post to maintain cowboy hat. Comment or zap is sufficient?
I have gone weeks without original post to keep my cowboy hat streak
