I can't think of a better way to describe it. For example. I have a stupid little picross app on my phone. I swear it has just the right sounds and mental input to keep me glued to it. I know I got other things to do. I know I need to put it down. One more puzzle is fine tho, right...? I mean it's only 3-5 minutes...and poof it's been an hour....well, it's already been an hour so one more is fine, right?
:this-is-fine:
I am asking here cuz I don't wanna hear about "well just put your phone down!" or "willpower!" or even "lazy!!!". I physically am sitting there thinking ok after this one I put the phone down and then I push the next button without even noticing I did it. It's even worse if I'm stressed or 'procrastinating' cuz the list is too long. So please, gently, without reminding me that I'm a lazy asshat who just needs to learn to adult, help me out here...
Yeppp.
Have been dealing w/that except replace 'picross' with "anything but my engineering classes"
I've noticed that forging a routine and making a task list before bed helps. That way I start the day out with a plan for my day already in my brain.
Moving around and getting a walk in helps too.
Still, these last two weeks have been shitty for self discipline for me personally. Sometimes that how life be I guess.
