So, it is safe to say it’s not about the deed in itself, it’s YOU. It’s ME. It’s that inherent resistance to work or move that has to be overcome before motion is achieved (Physics classes weren’t a waste after all) just, these ones are disguising and making distractions take the center stage but I’m ready for it now ( Mike Tyson mode activated).

I want to say I will be disciplined. Won’t open my video player or any Social media app until I’m done with my work or I’ll only entertain them within my 10–15 mins break in between tasks and be strict with it, but I’ve realized already that currently I’m not strong enough to resist these temptations. Especially when I’m answerable to no one but myself for the things I need to do. Plus, old habits don’t die quick right…

So, while I truly admire you if you can pull off the “strict and disciplined" thingy, I’ll be taking the easier route: FLEE

I’ve taken my first step by acknowledging this weakness. My next step is going on a break off K-drama and YouTube series(the partner in crime).

I’ll run away and keep gathering momentum to face my distractions heads on. Until then, I’ll be on the move and we can be partners on the track you know, have you identified any "Thief of your productive time" ?

Are you willing to fight them off but like me, you’re still not strong?

You might want to consider fleeing for a while. I’m with you on this. Let’s break this jinx of procrastination and distraction together...

In my defense, a couple of them are pretty interesting. I particularly enjoy the medical plots with excellent facilities and surgeons always leaving me in awe. Or their corporate life themes, I still have pictures in my memories of one where start ups had to pitch their business ideas and share one workspace building with others. I also love that team dinners is a thing, the pouring of drinks and turning to the side to drink to show respect, getting wasted with other team members rank and position notwithstanding, karaokes too. I can’t forget their technological advancement accessible to the majority of the people.

However, as much as it feels like a comfy blanket you always want to wrap yourself around with, they’re still the WFAM because in my productive time, I start by watching one episode. I convince myself “I’m just using it to relax” or “it’s just accompanying my meal" yet I don’t leave till that 1 hour is complete or I just finished a very strenuous thing “let me rest small“ Gosh I can’t believe I did all these (covers face). The most ridiculous of them is “I’ll work when I’m done watching" lol. Few minutes after I stop reading subtitles, I’m on La la land and the other tasks for the day find themselves in the next day’s To-do list and the cycle continues.

While I struggle with this, the truth is I know I shouldn’t be doing it. I understand priority and how important things should be done first before “fun" or “rest" (whatever that is) and no, it’s not about K-drama. Sometimes it’s mindlessly strolling down the streets of IG and the green app. I’m sick of them but I still go back multiple times a day. And other little things that steal your productive time too.
