Idleness as a form of motivation
Wake up!
You have deadlines to meet so you decide to stay at home and get work done. This is a bad idea.
Little work gets done at home. You will surf the internet aimlessly even as you wonder why you are surfing when you should be toiling. If you really want to accomplish something, go to a public place and work there.
Get to work!!
You have a pile of books to read and you really want to read them but somehow you manage not to. You have a stack of dvds you’re eager to watch and somehow you avoid them. Instead you sit doing nothing, inwardly kicking yourself for not reading or watching. Desire is overcome by torpor.
Another full day in our quest for world domination. Right, Duck Vader?
Eventually your annoyance boils over and you finish your assignments in a huff. Strangely, they read better than the stuff you write at leisure. So sloth turns out to be an efficient approach. But this is not the way to live.

it’s like you installed a hidden camera in my apartment and you observe my daily routine.

With a developing alcoholism in the right spots, this can be my life now. Ahaha!

unfortunately for me most days end at the word torpor.

Apparently it is blockbuster season, all the big Hollywood blockbuster sequels are lined up, and they can’t get a theatre playdate until later in the year.

But my dear voice inside my head, can’t I wallow in sloth and cats just for a little while longer?
I’m a chronic procrastinator. If there were Procrastinator’s Anonymous meetings, I’d go. Well, maybe the next one.
