amirite?
 

who else gets to the end of a looooong list of work that needs doing then slack the fuck off? how is it i have been putting off this commish for three hours now x_____x the whole thing only takes 4 hours to finish, i could be nearly done now

*raises hand* ME! I love to slack off! >___>
Which is what I am doing right now. ^.^; Posting instead of putting labels on folders...which is boring. D<

That is actually quite normal. That is why ideal environments tend to split jobs up into parts.

Actually, I slack off in between and in the middle of doing things, so it all adds up to be really bad at the end T~T

Same here, I am doing it as we speak in fact.

Story of my life, really...

Things get done eventually, but damn if it isn't super hard to get going sometimes.

this is less 'not modivated' and more 'i did like 95% of this with haste and vim but i dont feel like this last 5% at all'

It's the same general idea, really. :) I understand where you're coming from. The last bits of a project are often very tedious...and thus not too fun.

ok, fair enough XD though i am now at 7 hours and i still am only 20ish mins farther along than when i wrote that

I use vim every day, but I'm not familiar with haste. Where can I read the documentation?

Haha.

I admit, I thought of that first when I read "vim" as well.

I've heard vim before. Usually paired with vigor, as in "vim and vigor". X3

And it's also a command line text editor on Linux.

Or Mac, as the case may be here.

Brains! All of you!
X3
All the smarts, you have.

Nah, it's domain-specific knowledge. We're programmers, so it's just the tools of the trade; it's like a car mechanic knowing what a socket wrench is.

is it, toho? XD i am too dumb for that ballyhoo XD

I love projects. I don't know about not being able to finish the last 5% but I do know. . . it's the first 5% I struggle with. Once I'm going on it though, I can not be stopped. Not even for lunch.

starting is no biggie XD

I think it depends a lot on the type of project and what the work is.

Programming projects, for example: At the beginning, there's tons of interesting things to work on, but when you get to the end all that's left is really boring crap like cleaning things up and reviewing everything and testing and bugfixing and stuff. You've already got something that looks like the final product or very close to it, and there's no obvious end to the remaining drudgery.

On the other hand, some kinds of projects are really hard to get started on, but as you near the goal, the end is in sight, and there's a reward (such as being able to use the thing you made) for completion, so you've got momentum to finish it up.

That is true.
For me, if I'm in the right mood the small and tedious stuff is easy to push my way through and it doesn't irritate me as much. If I'm in a bad mood, there is no way for me to do the task quickly...as I feel miserable and jittery. My theory is that it's my ADD acting up in those situations.

well, i finished XD wanna see?

Show us!! :D

I slack off all the time! I'm a horrible procrastinator!

IN FACT, I should be working on homework right now. Instead, I'm watching Jessica Jones. And updating my avatar! ANd posting in this thread@!!!

I can have a bit of trouble at times...largely because of my vaporized self esteem. *Shrugs*

Oh wow! A bear and a mouse! That reminds me of the "Ernest et Célestine" movie!

Just curious, what part was the 20 minutes you stopped on?

hamster XD the right-side foot, i had the torsto and most of the head left to do then the color

IT'S SO CUTE!!
D:
It's almost painful. X3

haha, thanks XD it was twenty dollars american

Ey Cho, nice to see you again.

Slacking off is like, my life

It's my policy. The day after finals I don't do ANYTHING except sleep and internet. :p-grin:

XD i am in good company, hahaha

Indeed. Like I mentioned earlier - I'm doing nothing right now. Sundays are usually my day for doing nothing. :3

A good day to have, really.

Yeeaaahhhh
I woke up at around three when the manbeast texted me. I was sleeping on my back and my cat was sleeping on my chest, his cheek against mine. Needless to say, I didn't want to get up. :3

sounds adorable! :3

I named him after a character from a movie that is on my list of favorites (Dirty, Rotten Scoundrels). We ended up calling him Ruprect all weekend. XD
