      For me, the solution was drugs. Half an edible and half an hour later I’m relaxed enough to continue my day.

    That moment when you get decision paralysis on which game to play, and just wind up stress scrolling through your phone instead

      At least you’re doing something more productive than daydreaming the whole dream 😭

    Literally me right now.

    I could read this book I want to get through within the next week. Or I could read a chapter of this other book for class.

    But here I am…doin’ neither.

      My mom always told me, it doesn’t matter what you read as long as you read something… so here I am, 30 years later with the phone in my hand reading shitposts on Lemmy… yep, she would be proud…

    “I’m not getting this productive thing done. I’d like to play a game…”

    🧠: You haven’t earned that yet. Just do the productive thing. Also I’m REAAALLLLY BOOOORRREEED.

    “Fine. I tried really hard. This isn’t happening. Can we play now?”

    🧠: You’re so lazy lol. Fine what do we play… Nope out of time! Maybe tomorrow!

    UGH.
