@KrisO That I would agree with! Putting off low priority things forever, if they do need to get done, also eventually becomes harmful—thus procrastination.

(Although I would call a time matrix, not an Eisenhower Box or Ike graph. I don’t think there is any evidence that the technique originated with Ike; I suspect that comes from more recent authors not wanting to credit Stephen Covey for the urgent-v-important matrix.)

Also, uploading photos to and/or editing one’s profile should probably stop being broken on Mastodon.social, please and thank you.

I’m enjoying Mastodon so far. The one feature I think I would most like to see in a client is some sort of language filtering. I’m enjoying the Local and Federation timelines, but so much of it is unreadable to me. Would love an “English-only” Federation timeline (and the options for others to do so with, say, German, or Spanish, or Farsi, or Chinese).

@ericflo Just as anticipation of a treat, a toy, or an experience is often better (and lasts longer) than the pleasure of getting it, I think our dread of what we are procrastinating is also generally far worse than the task itself.

@KrisO It is a great article (Graham is a sublime thinker on the subject of work), but I disagree with his use of the term “procrastination.”

I tend to agree with researchers like Timothy Pychyl who insist that procrastination has a specific meaning—that the delay is irrational and/or harmful in some way.

If I put off running errands in favor of high-payoff work, as Graham suggests, I’m not procrastinating errands—I’m making a strategic decision based on priorities.

@carmilla I think that’s a valid content warning. I’ve always found seeing people losing their tether while repairing space stations and burning up in the atmosphere of the earth to be very triggering, ever since it happened to me.

Heading to the airport in a couple of hours. Arriving home early on a Friday afternoon with the whole weekend still ahead of us feels luxurious. It’s like bonus vacation.

Today is day seven of vacation, and also marks the first full week in over a decade during which I had no access to my company email or computer.

Everyone says that sort of disconnecting is healthy and rejuvenating, but I notice it also had the effect of expanding time: I feel like I’ve been on vacation for weeks.

I queued up several books and articles on procrastination before our trip, then downloaded Fortnite for the first time the night after we arrived.

And then signed up for a new social network.
