thefathippyAs it turns out, if you put off calling the tree chopper to deal with a few dead trees, the problem may solve itself.🙄Luckily this one didn't drop into my neighbour's place - there are a few along my side of the fence that could easily end up next door... 😱I don't know when it fell, but it wasn't there the other day! It hasn't been particularly windy, either. Guess I'll be chainsawing tomorrow! Oh, and contacting a chopologist. 😂<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bushlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bushlife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Procrastination</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/BlueMountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlueMountains</a>

Jan R. BoehnkeEngaging with several languages, it always surprises me how bad the resources are to learn (or: keep up) with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Plattd%C3%BCtsch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plattdütsch</a> *So, I am glad to share 2025's word of the year "Schlackermaschü": strictly "cream", also used for sweet creamy deserts.2025's saying: "Von'n gaut Wuurt warden de Tähn'n nich stump" - literally, "A good word doesn't blunt your teeth", reminding one to be kind to other people.And the new word of the year "Upschuveritis" - <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Procrastination</a>* <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_German" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_German</a>

Jonathan B ✈️🪄👨🏻‍💻Shift work is the worst for having motivation to do stuff outside work (exercise, gardening, hobbies etc) as you can’t set a regular time to do things as your schedule never aligns with anyone else’s. I have so many projects and things I’d like to do but am always putting things off as I know I will never find the time to be able to complete them. Any tips on organisation and staving off procrastination for shift workers?<a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/shiftWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shiftWork</a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#procrastination</a>

I know the feeling but I don't think I have <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ADHD</a>.I just searched the web for this term and read that it affects people on the autistic spectrum, too.How does it relate to <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#procrastination</a>, something most creative people, students and white-collar workers seem to grapple with? Is it basically the same but worse?

Kevin Bowen (has moved) :xfce:If I faithfully open a specific doc in one of the tabs in my terminal every morning, glance at it occasionally, eventually, I'm going to edit it, right??

Swede’s PhotographsGood morning. ☕☕☕13 May 2025Hopefully, today is a yardwork day. I tend to put things off whenever I feel like it, but the ever-growing grass serves as a reminder that I need to take action—kind of like my cluttered desktop. For weeks, I've been telling myself I need to clear it off, yet I let things stay there simply as reminders that each item requires attention. You see how that works, right? Then there's the water bottle in the corner—I have no idea why it's there, but it's been sitting for a while. A mystery not worth solving. I also need to vacuum my office floor. The Roomba comes through every morning, but lately, it just seems to shuffle things around."Procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot of fun until you get the bill." — Christopher Parker<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photographer</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographylovers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photographylovers</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birding</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birdwatching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdwatching</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birdphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdphotography</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/morning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#morning</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/landscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#procrastination</a>

the_adventures_of_an_introvertWe usually associate procrastination with unpleasant tasks, but I often put things off when good things are on the horizon. The prospect of achieving success or an improvement in my circumstances can cause me to over-analyse everything and find reasons to delay proceedings, which can hold me back in life...(1/3)<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anxiety</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#procrastination</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adhd</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neurodivergent</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a>

Lydia SchochWhen I was a kid, my family knew someone who purposefully waited until the last possible second to file their tax return. As in, he’d mail it off just minutes before the post office closed on April 15.I haven’t seen him for many years, but I stll think of him every April 15 and hope he makes the deadline yet again. 😂<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TaxDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TaxDay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Taxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taxes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Procrastination</a>

Jo RhodesI use the co-working platform <a href="https://focusmate.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://focusmate.com</a> to do the boring admin and finance jobs I hate for the community project I run. Idea is you briefly chat with your focusmate, say what you want to work on, then catch up for a minute or two at the end of the session to report on progress. Can be computer work, tidying, meditation, exercise, cooking, music practice or anything. One of the great joys is the amazing diversity of people you meet and often some fascinating conversations. This week I have worked with an inspiring junior barrister from Manchester, various PhD students from US, Europe and India, a pianist in Seoul and a charity manager in Cambridge. Realise co-working online isn't everyone's cup of tea but I love it! <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#productivity</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/coworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coworking</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#procrastination</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GettingThingsDone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GettingThingsDone</a>

Max LeibmanThe truth about <a href="https://beige.party/tags/procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#procrastination</a>: as cool as it looks, always Indiana-Jonesing your hat under closing doors at the last second is exhausting.

Swede’s PhotographsGood morning. 🦆🦆🦆7 April 2025Here’s a thought: for every inaction, there seems to be an equal and opposite inaction. Take my home security system, for example. For a couple of weeks now, it has been alerting me that a break-glass sensor needs a new battery. The replacement battery? I’ve had it all along. In fact, if I glance over my left shoulder, I can see it sitting on the corner of my other desk with three of its companions. My failure to spend five minutes replacing the battery has resulted in precisely nothing happening. Well, except for the security company calling to upsell me on new equipment—a generous offer I politely declined. What they didn’t offer, of course, was to replace the battery themselves. Maybe today’s the day I’ll finally take care of it.“A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.” - Bill Watterson<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birding</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/lake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lake</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/lakescape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lakescape</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birdphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdphotography</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ducks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ducks</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/morning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#morning</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#procrastination</a>
