Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It is insane how accurate this is yet utterly impossible for most neurotypicals to comprehend. I wish I wasn't broken, dammit.

When I do a little bit every day, I still find myself with the lions head of the task leftover to do the night before.

Sure, it's saved my ass a few times, I'll have gotten all the time sensitive tasks done earlier - if I need to buy something before an event I'm sure glad I started early because I had time for the parcel delivery. But I'm still up till 3am the night before finishing the PowerPoint presentation, and I'm rocking up to the venue at 7am not 9am because I never did get around to setting up the furniture as planned because instead I fixated on the catering and spent 6 hours learning how to florrette every fruit known to man - a job I'd only scheduled 40 minutes for.

I'll do a task that I'd scheduled 2 hours for and knock it out of the park in 15 minutes. So I reward myself by taking the entire rest of the day off from any related tasks. Then I get stuck on a task that is taking much longer - sometimes because it genuinely takes longer than I realised, sometimes because something about it just sends me into a timeless trance.

So that's what happens if I start early. It's a lot of mental labour. If I don't start early, so far nothing bad has happened, and it feels like less work because I condense it into a shorter time.
