I do this all the time lol. Can’t focus without deadlines
Enthusiast
🤦♂️ I do the same. There’s that old saying (Parkinson’s Law) “Work expands to fill the time available for its completion"
I do the same thing, I don’t understand why I act like I’m still a college student and ruin my evenings💀

Same. Therapist has said this is due to my dopamine-deprived ADHD brain seeking stimulation and adrenaline rushes from almost- missing deadlines. Working on it 😐
Apparently your brain also gets dopamine from completing small parts of a big task so it would help to break it down to prevent this. But…. That takes time and I procrastinate. We’ll learn one day
I have a physical journal with a written to do list broken out in roughly 30 min increments. It's hard to get set up but when I'm using it it works great
I really thought I was the only one who did this. I just can’t seem to find the will to work these days

We like adrenaline 🤫
Pro
Sometimes you just need the adrenaline buzz to get you over the line. I do this all the time even though I am old enough to know better (in my 3rd decade of working) and I know its not good for me, but its just how my brain works.
I'm the same
ADHD?
Probably, I've been meaning to get tested. Too afraid the doc will just say I'm a lazy sack of sh lol.
I do the same !!! Sometimes I really think that I’m the inefficient one and then bring my confidence down myself :(

Enthusiast
Same!! I hate that I do this a lot!
