This picture always gets me thinking: what if that man over there climbed over, saw that the other side was even worse, and decided to do everyone a favour by rendering the ladder useless?

Could be seen in many ways. Especially when the picture is overused.

I think it's mostly because of 2 things:

- I am aware that I'm currently at my prime, so now's the best time to take advantage of life by living it to the fullest (doesn't mean just having dumb fun, it means just that, give 100% if not more);

- Other people are going fast too. If I relax too much, I'm gonna be left behind and be seen as odd and weird (my non-existent love life is an example of that).

Is it silly? Absolutely. Does it make me feel pressure nonetheless? Yes, because the things I'm anxious about rely on others, and I can't trust others to be on the same page as I am.

Mindfulness so you can catch yourself procrastinating.

Educate yourself on emotional intelligence. Start asking yourself "how do I feel right now?". Usually there's a reason for you to delay tasks.

Write down your plan for the day. Write down your plan for the day. Write down your plan for the day. I can't stress this enough. It's stupid. It's simple. But for some reason it works.

Also, just do it.

Also, don't be afraid to take a bit of rest. Try to stick to a workable segment (example: I'll work for 30 minutes, rest, work for 30 minutes, rest), then increase the duration until you feel comfortable. Much easier to start with small chunks than big ones, it feels less daunting, thus making you less prone to procrastinate.
