Procrastination is misunderstood 

I think procrastination gets bad reputation — When in fact I think it is your way of telling yourself that you are doing something that you need to do, but it’s not the thing that you think it is.

Usually procrastination is a way to feel like you’re not doing something that you’re supposed to be doing and anxiety breeds or you just do something else because you don’t want to do it – that thing that you need to do.

What if being yourself up that you’re procrastinating is inherently wrong framing. What if you’re procrastinating because you need other things in your life that you currently don’t have there’s nothing to do with the thing that you need to do

That? I’m trying to be clear procrastination frames it as you’re not good enough because you’re not doing the thing that you need to do it’s a problem to be solved. What if it’s a signal? 

What if it’s a signal that your body and your orange and your soul Are saying let’s do this other thing too it doesn’t mean that you can’t do the thing that you should be doing it’s just I wanna do this other thing too

What’s even crazier, is what if you followed it? And let it run things? And what’s even crazier is what if you can do the things that you should be able to do and the things that come out of following that signal that we call procrastination, or its cousin boredom

Procrastination is your internal signal for doing creative things, being labeled as something bad when in fact it can be something good

more people need to systematise their creativity

creative block, burnout, the ability to not make 247 is an excuse for being lazy. inspiration is fake. the only way to make something great is through volume.

you can literally systematise your creativity just like any other task. sure, the system might have more complex or specific variables to produce with predictability, but once you’ve found what those are, you can pull those levers at will

i turn product vision into cultural signal

yeah, it sounds like recognising and leaning into those random moments is part of your system (same here!)

i do often see ppl misuse that logic to just not do anything haha

aligned with what you’re saying but the way i read that screenshot is: creative people need time to unintentionally explore stuff.

i’m a research maxi, so i always spend loads of time finding relevant solutions. but honestly, half my insights come from random things i didn’t plan. like something i read by accident or when i was playing lego with my friend’s kid.

i think a healthy approach to creativity is:
1.	treat it like a systematic skill (what you’re saying)
2.	evolve mentally (meditate, touch grass, observe actively)
3.	allow for unintentional learning — the stuff that looks like you’re just sitting around doing nothing
