Procastinator's tricks to be productive: Schedule messages

I hate to write people. They could answer. My whole plan might be thrown off. But when is the best time to answer them? The day after tomorrow? Too late. Tomorrow. Around 10? Thank you to all messengers that allow me to schedule a message. Instead of procrastinating, I answer, I schedule, and if I am in a bad mood, I later come back and abort and rewrite the message nicer.

Went perfectly swimmingly with my happy new year messages. Everyone got them at 00:00. Yes my friend, you're obviously the most important thing in my life, first thing I did was writing you!

*writes right away cuz I can't be damned*

overthinking social interactions sounds exhausting

@jestdotty

I was in the overthinking phase.

Then I was in the I do not give a crap phase. Went like this in extreme cases: "What, it is 2am, why the fuck is your phone not muted? I have to be called twice in 30 seconds for it to ring. A message won't make me, that's your problem."

You do that until you have a person that holds power over you... And then you're like: "Is it really worth pissing him off?"

My system works for me, and I think for more people who have not considered it, yet. Did wonders to my anger issues. Still have those... But they are my private affair that no one needs to know.

Hmm... Anger issues is not the right word. Bad moods make me... belligerent. I can usually delete those message before I send them.

00:02 so it isn't that obvious that it was scheduled

@TrayKnots idk my life didn't work out very well

I don't do well under threats. if someone holds power over me and bullies me I will have a much worse reaction than someone on my level trying it. I didn't used to mind friends trying it, was just friendly ribbing. but when people think there's a misbalance of power... it fundamentally feels suuuper fucked up. it's like rapey somehow. I will not forgive a person for showing me that side of them. ever. if they and their whole family was about to die I'd just keep doing whatever I was doing. there is no forgiveness. I also obviously would never put in a good word about them to a co worker or friend or strangers; I'd just shake my head no and tell them to avoid them / they're trouble.

and this would piss me off even when I'd see other people do it to each other, where I wasn't involved. those situations were great. cuz it's super easy to chase those people off if there's 2 of you

workplaces everyone's a pussy though. u just self-exclude
