I'm very guilty of this, the biggest reason is I get distracted by the things on the internet, watching videos on YouTube, coming on this site scrolling, Facebook, X, Atlas Earth, Mode earn apprandom Google searches of famous people from the past and where are they now, and on and on and on. All that just from online world, so put that together with get up get a shower and go to the bathroom fix breakfast lunch and dinner go to work, get gas it's like calgon take me away cuz there's not enough time and the day lol

[MicahRaine]

Sorry it took me so long to respond, I kept delaying. I was a little busy.

For me, it's often because of self-doubt. That's something I've been trying to improve though, especially since I learned that "taught helplessness" is a psychological method of manipulation that I've experienced.

[DishLady]

Interesting!

I haven’t figure it out. I’ll tell you when I know. How about next week? 😂.

It’s mostly human nature… there are always things that can wait… our mind sets poriorty… with what we like vs dislike. I hate doing homework and house work … if I have to pick one… I do my housework… then go back to my hw since it will be due tonight at 11:59… I’ll get it done by 11pm. our mind works wonders under pressure.

I have health issues, and energy for me is at a premium. There is a lot that I need to get done, a lot to clean/organize, whatever, but when I finally have the energy to do it, I want to spend whatever brief time I have doing things that make me happy and are fun, so its often when the laundry is piled high that I finally just have to force myself to attend to stuff like that.

Let me get back to you on this. I have other questions to answer.

[OlderAndWiser]

I sometimes procrastinate because I fear that I won't succeed and sometimes because a task will be both boring and time consuming.

[mandyfire98]

It's pretty much one of my defining qualities sadly.

[OfMiceandMen]

I sometimes do, but it's mainly to do with biting off more than I can chew. It's tough though because whatever I do I tend to do good job which takes time, so it catches up with me.

[HawkPerception]

Yes I definitely do. And literally all of the above are my reasons 😅

[exitseven]

I always say why do today what you can put off until next week.

[legalboxers]

so I can thoroughly plan something - so it works the 1st time

[DrPepper12]

I'll answer this later...

[DishLady]

You and the guys are really loving this one... 😂 😂 😂

[Ironco]

I think we all do to an extent, but I try to just get it done.

[worldscolide]

Dunno I will tell you tomorrow

[DishLady]

😂 😂 😂 You and @OtterMan68

[Iron_Man]

Yes, I do now because of depression

[Iron_Man]

I was supposed to clean the house up and months ago get a roommate because I need the money and I haven’t done it because I’ve got lower back problems and depression. I just do a little bit here and there. I’m so slow. on Monday tomorrow I’m getting a lower back x-ray

[Iron_Man]

I think it has something to do with a pinched nerve or maybe a herniated disk

[Iron_Man]

I’ve had it for the past nine months come and go, and it can be painful

[DishLady]

@Iron_Man, but that's also possibly just wariness because of your back issues, rather than chronic procrastination. For example, I fell on some ice a while back, so now when it's very poor weather I think twice before going out for errands and procrastinate a little to avoid hurting myself again.

[Iron_Man]

it’s probably mostly depression and plus my lower back problems my taxes are due November 1 and they doubled them and I owe $5400 and by the time I pay that it’s gonna completely clean me out and I haven’t been working in a long while and I need to get a job

[Iron_Man]

there’s something about bending over wiping the floor down getting all the different spots off bothers my back and I don’t want to feel the pain so I procrastinate

[DishLady]

This year cleaned a lot of people out. No idea why, tbh.

[DishLady]

Hang in there, @Iron_Man.

[Iron_Man]

I’m trying I can’t afford to lose my house and be delinquent because they sell it out of tax auction and that’s a huge huge problem if you don’t pay your taxes Dade county property taxes on my house

[DishLady]

There's a link to set up a payment plan. They can't just make you leave your home and such.

[Iron_Man]

It’s a little bit too late for a payment plan and this has happened to me before when I lived in Pinecrest a very expensive neighborhood in Miami. We lost our childhood home because they doubled our property taxes to $11,000 a year after my mom passed away and we couldn’t afford to pay it so they sold it at tax auction and we only got $100,000 apiece. The three kids and that was a $1.2 million house back in the of early 2000s then we lost it in 2011

[DishLady]

My goodness! I'm so sorry you went through all this! I know things seem grim, but I still recommend you speak to a financial specialist about it. If you want, DM me and I'll let you know a very reliable guy who won't overcharge you.

Chin up, @Iron_Man <3

[Iron_Man]

Thanks but I don’t wanna pay more money. I’ve gotta try to save every penny possible. I don’t even go out to eat anymore. That’s how reserved. I am trying to save money. I just need to find a job some kind of a sitdown job now. And I have to get a roommate in here even though I have a water leak underground and it’s very expensive every three months. Thanks for your support. I appreciate this.

[DishLady]

I hear you. I also have to be extremely frugal now. But I also know a nudge in the right direction can make/break a situation. No pressure. If you change your mind, DM me.

[Iron_Man]

I’m not spending any money hardly at all except on my bills that’s the thing. I really don’t need a financial advicer telling me what to spend money on and and what not to spend money on. I just need help getting money coming in. Not money going out more money. that’s for people that just came into some money and they don’t know how to spend it well so the guy gives him advice what to plan on what to invest in. I don’t have that kind of money anymore. I spent a lot of money in the past 20 months because I had to I had no choice

[OtterMan68]

I'll get back to you

[DishLady]

LMAO. Thanks, @OtterMan68

[moviedude714]

I think just about every human being is guilty of that

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

TTYL?

[FunkyMonkee]

[Stef12]

[Dongie]

Any old reason will do.
