Is that for dopamine?

I've always understood it as the reason I leave things last minute is a way to self-medicate my own stimulant via adrenaline and panic, which then helps me to get up from earlier mentioned doom scroll and actually clean or do the thing.

I've always been like a last minute queen.

I don't know if that's chasing dopamine.

Maybe it is.

Maybe there's a little dopamine high coming from leaving things to the last minute.

Interesting.

Yes.

If I've left it so late that I'm going to miss my train, but then I managed to like run so quick that I make another connecting flight and use my brain power and Google Maps to kind of find a plan B that gets me there.

I'm feeling pretty good.

So let's give that a yes.

Yeah, I always do this.

The only time you'll find me cleaning is when I'm avoiding another task.

I kind of see it as...

and you use this with me, say if somebody needs to empty the dishwasher and somebody needs to fold the laundry, you'll offer me up both knowing that I'll choose the dishwasher, the easier one.

So I can seem to work when I'm avoiding other work.

Yeah.

Um, does it give me dopamine?

Yeah, probably the avoidance of a horrible task would be.

So that's another tick.
