    I once read someone make a point (more eloquently than me) that procrastination is your brain’s internal bullshit detector. For example, if a lion were to break into your room right now, you would get the fuck up and flee no matter how lazy/neet you may be. Therefore the matters you procrastinate on are a big old bag of hooey (according to your mind).

      I procrastinate on cooking and then complain that I’m hungry and there’s no time to make food. I think my brain is broken.

        your brain is fully aware that you can just have two handful of nuts and be good for a couple of hours. Just because your brain also believes that you gotta have a proper meal doesn’t matter
