Here’s something nobody wants to hear: most of the time you’re not productive. You’re a serial procrastinator with an impressive talent for disguising it.
Does that sting? Especially on a Monday morning, when you were quietly hoping to coast through a short bank-holiday week in full work-avoidance mode — answering only the easy emails, tidying up documents, stacking call upon call just to look busy?
Sorry. Someone had to say it, and your favourite benevolent villain was happy to volunteer. 😈
Now listen up
Take a breath, clear your head, and stop dodging the work. You might actually discover it’s enjoyable — if you give it half a chance.
And if my words are irritating you right now, that’s because you recognise yourself in them and don’t quite have the nerve to admit it.
How to break the cycle
The only way out of this loop is to admit you’re procrastinating. And for the record — I fall into this trap too, every now and then.
Comment ‘Malvagio’ if you’ve been there, and tell me which task you’ve been avoiding like the plague.
p.s. A ‘Malvagio’ comment also earns you an invitation to one of my infamous dark lunches. 😈
