I heard a fun idea at @lrug last night which was to pick specific things you want to do when you procrastinate. i.e. Doing the dishes, sending --messages-- emails to loved ones. The idea reminds me of dopamine menus which you see a lot for ADHD where you make a menu in advanced of things that give you dopamine and that you'd rather be doing than scrolling.

@rachel oh this is great - I think I’ve largely fallen into washing up as a fairly routine procrastination exercise but I like the idea of being more conscious about it. Now I just have to get over not doing things I enjoy as procrastination because I feel guilty about doing enjoyable things rather than whatever unenjoyable thing I’m procrastinating.
@jon Maybe you can have options for BIG PROCRASTINATE, Medium Procrastinate, and little procrastinate.
@rachel but I never plan to BIG PROCRASTINATE. That’s just a thing that organically happens and then I realise it’s been a week since I did anything useful.
