Trigger warning: this post is about a positive side-effect of using coding AI.

Now that you've been warned…

One thing I hate about free-to-play mobile games is the "energy" system, where you can only play short periods at a time – and if you want to play more, you have to pay for it. It would make it feel like a waste to have the energy meter full, and I'd exhaust the meter every chance I had. It made gaming feel like work, and that's why I haven't played such games in years.

AI token usage feels similar. However, since I'm a freelance programmer with severe motivation issues, this "better use my tokens" thing actually made me work in the last few days, even though there's no looming deadline. Do some coding, use all tokens, go out and touch grass, get back to coding around the time my tokens reset, rinse and repeat.

Weirdly enough, being cheap's a good thing in this AI world I was dragged into.

desperately trying to do a task I've been putting off for a week... maybe I'll set a timer? or make a list of steps?
how do you tackle tasks like that #ADHD crew?

Sometimes I feel like I have so much going on with projects and hobbies, that I don't know what I want to work on first and end up #procrastinating way too much and am way less productive than I should be.

Gosh, exactly what it feels like. Especially the parts where the character looks for solutions or guilt trips themselves!

I have a coworker I like, but she texts me at 8 pm about work stuff, and…can’t this be an email? I am not gonna reply tonight. I turned on “do not disturb.” Funnily enough, the text came in while a friend living in Thailand who I hadn’t heard from in a while, was already texting me for over an hour this evening. I have a paper due Wednesday after work. I have a full day of work tomorrow (Tuesday) and I am tired. #phdLife Now I am here #procrastinating— lamenting my inability to pause time.

I finally stopped #procrastinating (LOL) and completed this blog post... about procrastination:

Are you procrastinating or prioritising?

Are you putting off a task or conversation you could easily do right now? Does glancing at your task list spark a feeling of dread? Are you trying not to think of all the tasks and commitments you've pushed into next week? You may be procrastinating. The monthly theme over at WorkLifeSpark is procrastination. I

"It’s crazy that 93% of people’s time is wasted scrolling... only 7% is spent building.

I used to do the same
scrolling after my 9–5,
dreaming of change,
praying for a different life
without moving my feet.
