Count me in as well, definitely squander lots of time doing things that are inconsequential to the bigger picture. However, I think the bigger question is what do you do about it? I would say for the most part the cause is about avoiding the less palatable required things one needs to do. But in terms of sleep this is more complicated. I know I need to go to bed at a reasonable hour yet I don’t. Instead I might watch mindless reality shows or go online. The only thing that seems to work with me is to remind myself of the larger goal.For sleep I have even scheduled it – surprisingly it worked but I didn’t keep at it. I try to picture how miserable I’ll be the next morning, sometimes that’ll get me to bed at a reasonable hour. But not always.
I can keep shuffling through a mundane activity because I know it will lead me to something I really want. To be honest I just took a lunch break right now to get away from my ever oppressive basement project! But I knew once I got on here it could be a big time vacuum so I set my stop watch to 10 minutes and times almost up! I try to visualize a usable space and somehow keep ploughing through it!
