it's normal, brain wants to avoid shit burning up in there so he wants to change the state

the secret to avoid it it to use time to your advantage, start by 10 min of ultimate focus, then increase it bits by bits until you reach longer times of focus

the ultimate and hardest working scientists couldn't work more than 4 hours

Something like 80% of people procrastinate. Learn methods to get around it, like starting with the most fun part of a project or saying to yourself, "Ill just do the first problem/paragraph, then stop." Once a person starts a project, it's easier to keep going, but starting is usually the part procrastinators have trouble with.

It's caused by being clamped, vaccinated, and circumcised, like a good little American boy.

If you had a foreskin, masturbation would be so fun that you would get all the pleasure you need in a day, so you would feel no need to circumcise

It probably plays in somehow, but procrastination exists elsewhere. So it cannot be strictly the lack of attaining a threshold pleasure which results in endlessly chasing shallow nonsense, and not facing one's problems.

Clamping and vaccination are definitely a cause. The former is the early brute method, the latter is added on and designed to cause more selective brain damage. This is why we see a more sickly, weak, stupid population just about everywhere with all kinds of diseases that never used to exist.

But I'm not circumcised nor American. No idea what clamped means and last time I was vaccinated was more then a ten years ago.

I've come to the conclusion that vaccination likely induces degenerative processes which continue over the lifespan of the organism. Especially with regard to the parasympathetic.

Clamped.

Next time you think of America, imagine this image. There are no words for the sickly hell we were born into, and all its mixed bag of distractions, conditioning, and coercion. Many people know America is shit, but I don't they realize why. We're at the stage where the power structure tries to control the biology of its underclass.

It's all funny and stuff but I'd really like to see any good scientific papers about the subject. I have some theory of my own, but before I reveal it I need to know if it's not crazily obvious.

Unironically look at this:

It looks like it was made by a clueless boomer, but the guy is actually at the top of the field of behavior analysis, he just has no sense of style.

Basically you procrastinate when the behavior you should be doing isn't immediately reinforcing (rewarding) enough and/or there are competing behaviors that are more reinforcing.

It's the brain's way of attempting to avoid stressful activities by purposely creating distractions

Much like masturbation, it's fun until you realize you're only fucking yourself.
