This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not missing a meal (or a few even) won't kill you, try getting to a starving state and then see if your brain lets you park your ass on the couch.
The executive functions are a tiebreak system, in many ways. It balances the various possible options, both benefits and costs, short term and long.
Procrastination is when this system can't overcome various situational inertias. I tend to think of it akin to a teacher in a classroom. The kids are perfectly capable of raiding a kitchen, when sufficiently hungry. It's also impossible to keep them focused on maths, when a dozen labrador puppies are released into the classroom. Within its limits however, it's supposed to turn disparate drives into coherent action.
I have adhd. The teacher is exhausted from a 3 day bender, and someone swiched their coffee to decaf. Avoiding situations that cause a procrastination lockup are a fact of life.
