I hate when I plan a specific “fun” activity for a specific time (like firing up a new server and testing it after kids go to bed), but when the time comes to do said task, my brain goes “nah, [other thing] is more fun” and suddenly it’s 2 weeks later and the initial activity has been successfully avoided.
It’s like two parts of my brain are fighting against each other. Drives me absolutely insane.
Ha! At least your brain has the decency to recommend something else that’ll be more fun. Half the time my brain just says “nah” to whatever I was about to do without giving me any alternatives so I just sit there, for a while, thinking about other things I could do instead.

It only happens when I plan something, like working on a specific computer or one of my cars or bikes. My scooter needs some attention (little guy fell over yesterday due to me putting it on the center stand on top of soft asphault crack sealant 🤦♂️), and I put it off because creating doomsday scenarios in Universe Sandbox until 1AM was more appealing for some reason 🙃.
To be clear: I LIKE working on my vehicles. It’s liberating.

That’s usually how it goes when I get unexpected “free time”. I sit and think about all the things I could do while watching the clock tick life away…
