It’s a recurring theme

And one of the most delightful. Who hasn't been told at some point, "if you put half as much effort into [task] as you did into [avoidance strategy] you'd have been fine"?

Finally internalizing how much nicer it is put in a little bit of effort in advance rather than stressful scrambling after procrastinating was literally life changing. I don’t think I even realized how much subconscious stress I was under during the procrastination. But my kids are just like “shut up dad”

Thats easy, just have shit short term memory and you'll feel no stress until you're reminded about it.
