The trick is to always have something you want to put off more than what you need to get done right away.

My little guy must've died years ago

Nah he ran off with mine and the two of them are happy together.

They make pills for that.

Because of this, there is financial advice to pay back the smallest loan first and work your way up to the bigger ones. It doesn't make any sense financially, but helps with motivation.

Doesn't it make sense to pay back the loan with the highest interest first, regardless of total debt amount?

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, but many people need a small quick win first or they give up completely.

My house keeps getting cleaner the closer to tax time it gets. Ugh.

Considering the state of things, I think it's everyones duty to cheat on their taxes. They just laid off like half of the IRS, one could imagine many cracks within which to slip through

No argument here! Guess I’ll go vacuum the living room.

"Never waste motivation" is a favorite saying of mine. You can always think up some excuse for not doing the thing you should be doing, so if ever you randomly feel like putting effort into that thing, freaking do it. Don't think, just DO

Don't sit down.
