Are you Rick Sanchez?

I moved to another country some time ago. To me, it was difficult. Starting your social life from scratch is difficult. Learning a new culture, a new language and a new bureaucracy is difficult. Buying everything again is difficult. Upping the difficulty level doesn't solve your procrastination problem, it exacerbates it.

To me, this sounds more like running away from your problems than solving them.

Agree with all of the above although I've never done it completely myself, I've either had a job waiting or a partner along at the new country, which has helped. And you don't need to be so drastic as to move to a parallel universe, you could just move within your own country.
