Please do not promote the usage of illegal substances here on this platform. As the usage of them can lead to legal action, per the federal Marijuana Tax act of 1937 thereupon enforcing the disusage of the substance in 35 US states. Henceforth, I will have to report your post to the proper authorities.
I don’t know why you are getting downvoted, I for one 100% agree that the use of illegal substances should not be allowed. However, as a retaliation to your statement I would encourage the disusage of all illegal substances per-se. I will provide an upvote to counteract the copious amounts of downvotes you have now from uninformed Lemmy users. Good day to you sir.
Illegal substances are not allowed by the very definition of the term. Discussions regarding these substances focus on whether or not their status of being illegal should be repealed or continued as an “allowed illegal substance” would be a paradox in a court of law.
I think something is wrong with me then. When I start something early it normally ends up with me losing momentum part way through, stopping for ages, then having to work like mad at the end anyway. That or I end up changing project idea and having to start again. Both of these ended up happening with my dissertation.
Like even when I start stuff at the right time it goes to shit. Somehow when I do stuff last minute it mostly turns out fine.
Procrastination is good, it takes you were you naturally want to be and what you intuitively think is right. Starting early and forcing yourself through things you don’t care about is not productive.
But isn’t that like making excuses for yourself tho? I usually did the same as the parent commenter did. But if there’s an especially critical task that I cannot afford to ignore I use something like pomodoro timer to keep my attention span in check. Barring an external distraction – getting more of this as I’m getting more senior in my current work + kids when working remotely (ノಥ,_｣ಥ)ノ彡┻━┻ – this method usually works.
It works, although you need to really stick to only working during the work time. I tried it when writing my thesis and miraculously I managed to work on it basically the whole day, from morning till night. Since then I’ve been using it sporadically when there’s an important work because for it to work for me I need to lock myself up so as to not get distracted by other people.
