I reckon coffee, actually. When I feel that I'm not getting anything done, I prepare coffee and sit down with my to-do-list. I scratch all the things I already did, and write down all the things that are to be done. It luckily happens only once a week, depending on Lily and Ellie, the two stars in my social system (luckily there isn't a third one...). Hm. Good metaphor actually, both of them have a tendency to behave like stars, figuratively. Anyway, when I'm only really procrastinating it's usually when I'm exhausted. I found that out a few weeks ago. It's a sign that I have to prepare breakfast together with dinner and then go to bed early, not reading any posts nor checking any answers. Things can be done the next day - with more energy, way faster and way more efficient.

So, this is the third series. Saying something, I am me and thoughts over coffee. Will we enjoy one each day of the week? Or will you keep it spontaneous?

I tend to procrastinate a bit, but only on certain things. I don't see it as being lazy so much as part of the way I handle things in my brain.  It's pretty common with ADHD to put things aside that you are afraid are going to be difficult.  I don't use it as a crutch, but I acknowledge it and find a way to work through it.  It still takes me a bit though.

I actually like that a lot. Momentum builds! The next time I get a fit of procrastination I’ll for sure give this a try and see if I can get back on track. 

I wish coffee weren’t so energizing sometimes. I would love to drink it in the evening it’s relaxing lol

I don't like laziness too, I see it as a waste of time, which we don't have infinite... Expecially on weekends that really hurt my nerves, I want to do something, engage in activities

During the week I tend more to procrastinate when I'm alone, then I force myself to just get up the sofa/bed/chair and do one of the house tasks to do and keep going from it one after the other

procrastination and overthinking are very dangerous combination. Normally I have a post scheduled to be released in the morning. But some day last week I failed to make a post because I spent all day thinking what I should create in a new manga page. After that I no longer have posts scheduled. So now I create something and post it in the evening. That is not ideal. Because sometimes I once again overthink things and come to a risk of not making a post. Today I thought about creating another manga page but ended up making a simpler art post. But I am glad that I not wasted this day away by just thinking and not doing it.

Coffee is the time to share with you, stay alone is the best, thinking about the eternity of crab 🦀, a big ideas will come in front of a cup of coffee.

I do admit that I have bouts of laziness a lot. Not full on lounging on the couch doing nothing, but rather coasting in life. I do like your fix of doing something small to get yourself out of it. For me, I internalize to get myself moving; I try to talk myself into doing something. Most of the time it works for me.

Speaking of lazy, I always think of Bill Gate's quote on it to sometimes make myself feel better about it:

"I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it."

Being lazy isn't always bad.

Is that like shower thoughts except with coffee (and drinking instead of standing underneath getting drenched).

You know what forget I said anything.

I think I've only said I don't know what to do in highly specific contexts where I legit didn't know what to do.  Left to my own devices with nothing work related or house-related urgently requiring my attention I'm just going to start drawing/working on my projects.

I do procrastinate a lot by doing other things that need to be done but sometimes that doesn't help (because I really, really, really needed to do whatever I was procrastinating).

Overthinking is definitely a pain in the system which is why I learned how to backburn :D

<sub>though it very regularly confuses people when I pop up with a backburned thought from a conversation several hours/days/sometimes weeks ago</sub>

<sub>and then the other problem with backburning is that if it's interesting enough it comes back on the front burner with a vengeance and then I look like I've spaced out</sub>

I think a lot of people might say "I don't know what to do" when they mean "I don't know where to start" but there's always going to be some that will use it as an excuse to do nothing at all.

<sub>sometimes though that is exactly what you need</sub>

I am very much guilty of procrastination and sometimes of overthinking. My wife is my secret weapon, as she is a Type A personality and loves action. So she pushes me to do things that I often find uncomfortable, but I appreciate it afterwards.
