Wonderful. It's 10:43AM right now. I'll start at 5:37PM. Thanks for the tip!

Ah damn it's 15:03 I missed it, geuss I'll have to play games some more and try again at 16:00

My brain also tries to trick me with that kind of thoughts, but I'm not getting fooled.

what's next? start working out in april?

But if I start doing it at 5:37, I'll always have to do it at that exact time.

just because i need to hear this doesn't mean i want to hear this :(

What are we studying??

As long as I can spend 23 minutes bitching about having to start at a weird time

Nah, minutes have to be either a multiple of 5 or a power of two, ideally also a perfect square. Hours have to be an even number less than 10 but greater than 3. And not on a weekend, regional holiday, or day immediately preceding or succeeding either.

Why 37.... probably because it's random

But then I have to stop at an uneven time and that's worse

How did you pick the unroundedest of numbers‽

Implementation intention can also be a good thing, though.

Starting at 6:00 is better than trying to force it "right now", failing, and doing nothing. Or exerting more willpower and pain than necessary.

I’m still trying to get out of bed at a reasonable round number… studying? We are definitely building up to that.

You can also start going down a completely unrelated rabbit hole

i'll wait til 5:73

FOH with that bullshit.

I beg to differ.

You're right =(

I don't have to wait another 4 minutes because I missed the :45, I'll go do it now XD

As someone who should study: I just don't.

You mean I don't have to wait till 12:07am to decide to do some writing?

Aaah I wish it was studying!! I'm procrastinating on sending in the documents to finally drop out of University, gotta do it until the end of the month ugh (I've stayed signed up for the past 4 years just for the bus ticket and the good cafeteria food)

that's not a section in my content though

5:35 am and haven't really started studying

5:27 or 5:32… the numbers need to add or subtract for my brain to accept it.

or even better, set a pomodoro.

Maybe even on easy mode (5 or 10 min) to bootstart studying, let it ring once, nod at the pomodoro and keep in the flow.

Or.... if you felt a strong urge to not study in these 5 or 10 min, nod at the pomodoro and says "Thanks Cthullu I'm free from this time prison!" and move on.

I personally hate doing pauses with pomodoro, so I just use it to make sure I did at least one pomodoro unit of time of whatever the fuck I planned to do (But I do pause once I start hitting a wall or getting tired)

This literally made me feel anxious
