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.

I know what movie im watching tonight.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.

Ride that high for the rest of the day!
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
There was a while there that I was getting my car inspected right on schedule EVERY 2 years.
My state has annual inspections.
