What if I come close to finishing it just to add more work?
What worked for me was to have someone hold me accountable for missing work
Hmm that might be why I'm fine at my actual job but awful at doing anything productive at home. I told my coworker I needed someone to come "help" me by basically sitting in my living room judging all the laundry piles. Like, just come over and talk shit and redirect me when I get distracted every 12 seconds.
I also enjoy the task when I'm involved so I both loved my workplace, had fun, did productive shit and earned a wage
Working at home is hell for me, Starbucks is the next best place in the stead of a workplace
Can you be my accountability?
I... Do work exhibitionism...
I go to Starbucks, most vulnerable spot, preferably inside
Now, if I'm procrastinating, EVERYONE KNOWS IM PROCRASTINATING.
it works.
This is a great idea and I was excited until I remembered how hard it is to think deeply while my anxious mind tries to register everything around it.
