I try to lie to myself about due dates so I panic when I see the fake date and get it done beforehand…but unfortunately I actually remember the real dates so it only works some of the time 😞💔

I just remind myself that if I don’t do some shit NOW I’ll end up with a mountainpile of work to do right before the deadline, I won’t be able to finish it all, I’ll fail and after that my life will be fucked 🤗 I do shit like, if I don’t do X thing by X date and time I have to give $100 to this person, if I’m not in X place by X time I will have to do a 5 mile sprint in the cold at 5AM outside wearing a tank top and shorts. It works because I set up the systems (telling ppl, being a runner)

Due dates and the societal pressure not to blow them, along with weaponized executive disfunction. Oh you need me to write a paper, better schedule my long overdue physical before that… and the papers done! 😆
