What people are saying
“In light of this, not sure "procrastination" is the best word. It is a combination of freezing from fear and overwhelm, and navigating survival.”
“Interest, novelty, challenge, urgency. You’re welcome ☺️”

““The hardest part is sometimes not doing the task, but getting your brain to actually start it. Once that clicks, the task can feel way less difficult than it did five minutes earlier.””
