Because it takes slightly less mental energy to sit and stress than to do the thing.

Because it takes slightly less mental energy to sit and stress than to do the thing. - Lemmy.World

Does it help of someone forces toy to do the thing or is is better to give time and space until you decide to do it? Asking for a friend.

Personally it all comes down to adrenaline. If a task stresses me out enough to hit me with some adrenaline I’ll complete it immediately.

If not then I’m either doing nothing while thinking about the task or forgetting the task existed at all.

Or, the adrenaline triggers me to tell my boss I can’t do this any more, get up and walk out of a client meeting and not answer any calls from work for a few days.
