Stop postponing things by embracing the mess

I'm not comfortable taking advice on "deprocrastination" from someone who made procrastination their career (or side gig?), except for the advice "if you find yourself procrastinating, quit your job and make what you'd rather do your job". But that rarely pays the bills .

Gee, I wish I had something stable that I'd "rather do". The problem is that even though I've had hundreds of hobbies, once I get good at something, I stop being able to do it. Not a single one of those hobbies lasts long enough to be a job.

There's also the "Price goes up in" and a counter (4 hrs from now). So don't procrastinate, buy now! Geez.

Sure yesterday I said "tomorrow", so what? It's still not tomorrow yet, so I'm fine!
