A day that started productive and by some measures stayed productive throughout feels tainted due to my lack of producing a completed interview assignment for my application at GameChanger. It’s hard to point to an exact reason for why I have yet to make meaningful progress on the assignment this week. It feels like most of my day was taking care of my dog, preparing and eating food, and spending roughly two hours at the gym. I did spend some time on the assignment, but it feels like I more or less wasted that time by exploring some datasets that are basically unrelated to the core assignment.
This might be procrastination due to the feelings of uncomfortability that arise anytime I start to think about everything I feel like I have to do (note not what I need to do) to complete the assignment. It’s making me think of Nir Eyal’s description of what procrastination truly is in his book Indistractable.
