    Not the worst that can happen. Job lost, dishes done.

    I even encourage myself to do this, so at least SOMETHING gets done.

    More like sitting down and doing neither and instead watching memes for 5 hours straight

      Meanwhile, having occasional thoughts about both and feeling guilty for not doing them and internally beating yourself up for doing neither.

        Don’t forget the occasional flash of insight on how to Do The Thing more efficiently that is immediately forgotten.

          Or the flash of insight about efficiency but it spins off two new tasks where you spend 3 days on one of them and forgetting why you were doing it in the first place because it spun off 10 new tasks again so you are now so far removed from the original tasks you have no idea what is important to work on anymore and then the cycle repeats.

        Are you me?

        Jokes aside, once I got diagnosed with ADHD and got medicated those days are spread pretty far out. It’s pretty nice NGL.

        I still have days like that but it’s no longer like 5+ days a week. It’s more like a couple per month and on those days I still manage to get some stuff done though not everything I needed/wanted.

            If it weren’t for my current insurance I’d be up a creek for sure, there’s absolutely no way I could afford my meds without it. Not even factoring in the cost of the doctors appointments.

            …I was recently asked why I stay in my job if I don’t like it so much. It’s because my health insurance is so good that it makes it absolutely worth it.

    I’m the opposite. I can handle 1 task, give me 20 tasks at once (even if each only takes a couple minutes) and I’ll freeze up
