Time management

It was a phone call. That's literally it. I spent months procrastinating making a phone call that ended up being short and virtually painless.

the inside-out people in your brain:
- I know what movie im watching tonight.
  
  It's amazing- very powerful movie
Fucking congrats fella!!!

I'm trying to do at least twenty... Ten... At least ten minutes of work each hour.

But I don't dare make any of the phone calls or emails I'm supposed to be doing, that shits too daunting.
- I am very present on Teams helping wherever I can. But I have done almost none of the documentation or project analysis I should have
  
  The worst thing about having a massive workload is I'll likely never get through all the tasks in time.
  
  The best is thing is when I'm in a constant sprint from one task to the next, it's easier to lie to myself and say "I can't do the documentation now, but I'll get to it later when it's quiet"
  
  But it never gets quiet anymore.
Hell yeah OP!!!! You fuckin rock! I bet you're gonna sleep like a gd baby tonight!! (I know I always rest better after finally getting that thing I've been putting off done.)

Here's a somewhat related comic for your viewing pleasure (but mostly for my sharing pleasure tbh)
Shit. I still haven't made that call.

Maybe tomorrow...
- Yeah, it can wait. No need to rush.
- Just do it sometime before this meme is released again. You've got about twelve hours.
My credit card has been auto-pay since I got it. I lost my phone and changed my number like a year ago. Most things I was forced to call up/fix the 2FA to point to my new number, but not that.. until about 2 weeks ago when it said that the set payment was less than the minimum payment.

I finally called them up about 2 days ago, assuming it would take at least a half hour. It was like 3 minutes dealing with the stupid phone menu, and then like 5 minutes talking to a really pleasant guy.

After close to a year, I finally have access to my credit card account haha.
Oh man,that dopamine rush!
- I feel relieved but no sense of accomplishment :/
  
  Like when I got my truck inspected and registration renewed on the last possible day
  
  Ride the success and just do other bullshit stuff you've put off too - seriously tho, good job on making the call. I feel your pain
I feel this in my soul.
Congrats! now you can indulge in recreational activities (for a day o two) without remorse!
Congrats, OP. We all know the very real problem that is. I have several of those waiting to get done, some are even things I want to do! You've earned a cookie.
Congratulations!
Congrats !
I'm procrastinating a very easy task as well. I've been putting it off because I am sick. It'll take like 5 mins and I just can't get myself to do it.
Same here, dude. I'm proud of us.
Nice!
Ride that high for the rest of the day!
Enjoy the happy chemicals you got out of it, you deserve it!
Time management? It sounds more like avoidance of a task that you have anxiety about, which is a very typical behavior of ADHD.
