THIS IS WHAT A WORKING DAY LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE PROCRASTINATION

Just start laughing

Well. Now we will experience it, you know. This is the moment everything falls apart. This is the moment all the fairy-tale, super perfect magic around me will completely disappear. And why? Why? Why is everything being destroyed?

Okay, hold that thought. I'm just running into someone with a cool pair of pants.

Think of some super boring hold music by James Blunt

I'm back, bitches, thanks for waiting. What were we talking about again? Oh right, I was going to tell you what's going on. Here's the thing: I have procrastination issues. And that's really annoying, people, really annoying. Seriously, everyone who thinks it's cool to have procrastination (because trendy and very intelligent and extremely attractive, creative people always seem to have procrastination), I just want to say: crazy. You are crazy. Completely crazy. After reading this piece about the working life of someone who's a star with procrastination, you really talk differently. Then you talk with more respect about people with procrastination. Read and shudder.

This is no joke.
1. When I arrive at the office at nine, I actually stumble in around half past ten (I have to bike for three quarters of an hour to get here and if you have procrastination, you always get up too late), then by one I might have typed half a post and we already have to have lunch.

2. Yes, a person has to eat, right.

3. Only towards the end of the day do I get going and suddenly I'm super stressed to get everything done. It's hell, and that's it. I always have to work overtime. Very strange. Just ALWAYS. And I don't understand how it happens.

4. That's not true, of course, but you shouldn't make a problem out of everything in life, otherwise you won't last.

5. You know what it is? I have to feel it. I need to have inspiration. I need to feel the flow. That doesn't happen on command, you know, goodness. Rome wasn't built in a day either.

6. I just always need to have five coffees first. And then another coffee. And then another one. And then I need to call someone. And to the bathroom. And on my way to the bathroom, I notice that my hair looks terrible, and with terrible hair, no one can work. So yes, then I also have to fix my hair.

7. Only then can I get to work.

8. But first I need to talk to a colleague about my new house and the floor I'm going to take, because I just can't decide. And such a thing with a floor really gets in the way of the creative process you have to go through when you need to write a post.

9. You know what's extremely stupid? When you have procrastination, colleagues get scared of you. Really scared. There are colleagues who regularly anxiously put on their headphones when they see me coming in. Because they want to work. They need to meet deadlines. I won't name names, but now I ask you: isn't that uncollegial in life?

10. Kiki, hello? Kiki? What a boring situation here, meine gute.

Okay, I got the hint. I'll keep my mouth shut again. You know what? I'm going to work. Did you get your way now?!
