Thank you for mentioning some interesting points. I keep referring back to the first article that I reference which I'm increasingly disliking 🙂 They consider procrastination to be a sign of laziness and your perfectionism point as unmotivated.

I think that like you, when I do something I want it to be the best that it can be. Perhaps this prevents me from starting some things, because to do something to my best ability, I need to be in the right mindset and to be in the right mindset, I probably need the right motivation.

Much like my reply to this comment 🙂 I read it a couple of days ago when you shared it but I didn't want to "lazily" reply without the appropriate thought and effort. And perhaps in writing this, it highlights to me the difference between how I think about lazyness and motivation.

I think that my entire life is broken down into little tasks. I'd love to focus on doing one thing and seeing it through to completion but it would mean that I'd neglect everything else that (I think) needs doing. And perhaps that's why I struggle to write as much any more... I want to write the perfect post (perfectionism) which requires a lot of time (let's say 2 hours on average). I don't feel that it's something I can do in 30 minute intervals so I end up not doing it at all. So if I want to continue posting more regularly, then I probably need to find a way to write in smaller chunks and post it whenevevr it's complete.

maybe I'll give you one more piece to that puzzle you're putting together hahaha...

I don't think I'm ready for this puzzle yet.
