Not a diary, 'cause I won't write it daily – 1

27/2/25

There will be the stage that you feel like you don’t have to do anything. And you feel like it’s okay not to do anything, or it’s part of the process.

No… It’s not.

But that doesn’t mean you’re straight lazy. Actually, lazy is just a word used to abstract underlying psychological problems away. To kill that lazy, you have to deal with those underlying problems.

As for my today’s case. Well, it’s not actually today, it’s that I’ve been doing what I consider ‘nothing’ for a couple weeks.

And the only reason is, ‘Perfectionism’.

I feel like I have to get the current project done before I can move to work in my other ideas. But the current project is in its natural pause. So it creates loop that I wasn’t driven enough to work on current project, but too guilty to work on other idea. Result in not doing anything at all.

Although not doing anything is not part of the process. But learning that it isn’t is.
