Ask HN: Is This Typical Procrastination?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33751975Too much of my day looks like this:
I sit down in front of the computer to do some work. I think:
"Before I begin, let's check HN real quick if there is something interesting on the frontpage. Probably there is not, so I'll start my work in a minute."
Half an hour later, I realize I went down some interesting rabbit hole of information or joined a discussion.
Now I need a break from the computer. I stand up and do some other stuff.
20 minutes later, I come back to the computer to do some work. I think: "Before I begin, let's check HN real quick ..."
What is this problem called? Is it typical procrastination?
