The Cycle of Unproductivity Pt 2


Too much work

Wow that's scary

The pile could fall on me

PANIC MODE!

 

Wait, lemme take a step back
And relax

I can't work while panicking

BREAK TIME!

 

IS THAT THE TIME!?!?!!?

Better get back to work!

UH OH!

PANIC MODE AGAIN!

 

Relax again

But wait....

THIS IS PROCRASTINATION!

Better get back to work

 

Back and forth

Break and work

Endless cycle

Of calm and panic

How can I do work while panicking?

But I can't do work while relaxing

Either

 

How do I break the cycle,

In which nothing gets done?

How do I break the cycle,

In which even "nothing" ever gets done?

How do I break the cycle,

In which "nothing" and "something" never get done?

Can I even do this thing?
How can I break free?
Of The Never-ending
Cycle of Unproductivity?
