So this isn’t terrible…
My therapist told me to “stop procrastinating” and I have never felt more oppressed in my life.
Let me be clear.
Leonardo da Vinci took 16 years to finish the Mona Lisa. SIXTEEN YEARS. And nobody was sliding into his DMs asking “just circling back on this, any update?”
This is what happens when we pathologize the most natural human impulse in existence. We turn rest into failure. We turn thinking into laziness. We turn “not yet” into a character flaw.
Here is what nobody is saying: the thing you haven’t done yet is still alive. The moment you do it, it’s finished. Procrastination is just a painting that isn’t ruined yet.
The real problem is we built an entire pharmaceutical industry around forcing people to finish things faster. We invented productivity apps. We invented accountability partners. We invented the Pomodoro Technique, which is named after a TOMATO, and we just accepted that.
A tomato is telling you how to live your life.
Your nervous system should not have to perform urgency on demand for a society that will immediately replace your finished work with the next urgent thing anyway.
This is a broken system.
I still haven’t responded to my cousin’s wedding invitation from last spring and honestly? That marriage has never been more full of possibility.
