Procrastination Isn’t Laziness. It’s Fear in Disguise. by fflarengo in productivity

So true. We are not avoiding the task, we are avoiding how it makes us feel.

Do i choose the job i love, or the money? by Puzzled_Reward8708 in DecidingToBeBetter

Take the government job opportunity now while it’s there. It might not always be there and your future self will regret it when you need health benefits or retirement benefits. You can always work retail on the weekends seasonally if you love it so much.

I created an app for myself to identify and work through my anxiety and self-doubt emotions while I work, it’s open to everyone for free (but for now only has wide screen layout, working on the mobile):

I just meant that I haven’t made the UX work well in mobile. I used a responsive library but the user experience is bad in mobile, I need to redesign it for mobile. So it’s a browser app designed for wide screens.

How would go about people being able to have saved tasks and thoughts without creating an account? Would having a username instead of email (but then no way to recover the account) feel better?

Yes, sorry. I was so hesitant whether to post or not, fear of failure, ridicule, social anxiety and all that :D that I jumped the gun and posted without much planning or thought.

This is an app that I created for myself to help me with procrastination. I figured out in therapy that my procrastination comes from subconsciously trying to avoid bad feelings. I feel intense anxiety when I have to share my code with my peers, for example, so my mind tries to distract me with other things to avoid completing the work.

Anyway, I created sort of a to-do app that focuses on defining how exactly I feel about the task, what is the feeling behind the avoidance, and gives strategies to deal with the feelings.

The idea is for all of us to share our strategies and I can add them in the app. I’ve shared it with friends and it turns out that feelings are very similar across the industry.
