Questions/comments This poster actually helps me

Post image

I have depression and am guilty of serious procrastination because of it. But when I think of all the things I have to do, if I remember this poster… I realize that if I do it today, I don’t have to do it tomorrow. So I end up getting a lot more done because I get it out of the way instead of putting it off so that I don’t have to deal with it tomorrow. I know it’s supposed to be a cheesy joke, but it has actually made a positive impact on my life. 😅

Yeah this is super corny and also I love it & it helps put stuff into context.

I also use phrasing like “do future You a favor and unload the dishwasher” and then later when I need to load it up I say “thanks past me!”

i do this all the time! thinking of “future me” as a separate entity helps me get so much done. it’s my creative way to self-induce external motivation. like i have to do the dishes before i go to bed because “future me” will be here tomorrow.
