What is the single best use of my time right now, and more importantly, what can be done to avoid it?

Defrosting freezer - imminent, after I've had a coffee, maybe after lunch, definitely before tea. #procrastination

is there a super snappy way to refer to the procrastination pattern where you use a thing you are extremely avoidant of to get a shitload of other stuff you've been avoiding done?
feel like most of my productivity comes from this pattern, it has to be studied and have a name, right?
Another project manager: I don’t know why we do so many things at the last minute.
Me: I didn't know there were other minutes available.

**Dark personality traits are associated with academic misconduct, frustration, negative thinking, and generative AI use habits: the case of Sichuan art universities**
"_Results showed that dark personality traits were significantly associated with academic dishonesty, anxiety, and procrastination, and that these markers of academic misbehavior were linked to increased frustration, negative thinking, and generative AI use._"

In an attempt to actually get organised and be more productive, I’ve actually tidied up my desk! (Also makes space for monitor, keyboard and mouse of course!)

It's time to panic about exams. Next week, the first one. Two more the week after. The week after that the final final exam, the last one of my university career, hopefully.
Time to clean the apartment, right?
Bush-hogged yesterday, but it was too hot to rake up the detritus for the compost heap. Early morning is cooler, so I left it for today. At dawn, all those pulverized weeds were soaked with dew, so I don’t need to water the pile. Umm, right, just the way I planned it! #composting #procrastination
I want to get back to coding, but when I'm about to, something gets in the way and I end up procrastinating around it. Or doing something else. Every goddamn time. Needless to say, I feel bad about it afterwards (read : all the time).
But from Friday, I'll be freed from most of the usual excuses for five straight weeks. I'm hoping to break the vicious cycle this time, and hopefully get back to being productive, somehow. At last.
Hurrah for #procrastination!
I've been eyeing off some affordable, yet unnecessary toys, but kept umming & aahing.
I'd finally *almost* decided, just not which toy, when life intervened, blocking such thoughts. Then unexpected large expenses arrived, as they do.
Today I checked the toy market, & my two most interesting options were sold.
A sign!
Unsure if the sign's "you snooze you lose" or "you don't need more toys, use those you have"
Maybe a flash garden tool instead...
Shadow Party is next weekend. I should start coding my entries... #demoscene #procrastination
Them: How do you do?
Me: Reluctantly.

The best for a typical #Monday: Doing very unpleasant things that you've been putting off for ages. One more big chunk, then I'm free for the day.
#procrastination is my #superpower
As it turns out, if you put off calling the tree chopper to deal with a few dead trees, the problem may solve itself.
Luckily this one didn't drop into my neighbour's place - there are a few along my side of the fence that could easily end up next door...
I don't know when it fell, but it wasn't there the other day! It hasn't been particularly windy, either. Guess I'll be chainsawing tomorrow! Oh, and contacting a chopologist.
