Procrastination is not a new phenomena, and I think most of us here do it fairly often. We try to avoid the not-so-fun tasks like doing the laundry and dishes, a deadline at work, or going to the dentist. But because I am special kind of lazy and stupid, I have taken procrastination to a whole new level by procrastinating about the good and fun things too!

At this point in my life and current occupation of digital nomading, I’m fairly free to go where ever and when ever I damn well please, but instead of doing that, I’ve been cooped up in my tiny apartment for two weeks. Good job Eve.. I suck at being a digital nomad, someone teach me your ways!

I hate being in that apartment most of the time, it’s small and the view sucks. I used to be stuck there because I had to work in the city, but now I don’t have to anymore, yet, I still somehow choose to be there. I could have been in the countryside for all that time, but for some reason, I wasn’t, even though I always enjoy the countryside hillbilly life.

I could have also hauled my tiny ass abroad, to explore the world.

I’ve spend the past weeks looking up possible travel destinations, but never reserving anything. Hours and hours of looking at flights and hotels, finding some pretty nice ones but failing to make a decision on where to go. London, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Rome, Barcelona, Croatia, all valid options. With every possible decision, I ask too many questions from myself, and if there are any negative answers, I abandon the travel plan. How is the weather, is it expensive, is there wifi (this is a must), is it a safe destination, do they speak English, does the carpet match the drapes, how far is the beach, and the list goes on…

I acknowledge that these are definitely first world problems and I’m very privileged and blablabla, but I wanted to share my thoughts and see if there might be someone else out there that has similar problems inside their head.

Am I the only one who procrastinates like this?

I need a support group!

_{Ps. I AM currently in the countryside, but heading back to the city tomorrow. To plan (read:procrastinate) for something new to do.}
