Streak of procrastination

I haven't been able to sit and write what I want at all this week! So I did a short ramble about that, also Outer Wilds.

Sometimes you have such a great idea, a post that you need to write and share with everybody and you just keep meaning to get to it.

Then reality hits and it doesn’t quite let you make that post in a way that feels right for the subject.

In the end, you end up writing nothing at all, or with a draft that is quite big and extensive but still not completed.

And welp, you have many smaller ideas for posts you could do in the meantime, but you don’t want to because you gotta dedicate all of that time to that great post idea.

Except you don’t, work shows up, distraction shows up, life shows up, and you end up procrastinating both the main post and doing anything else.

At this point, I would rather have something out, something complete and ready to be posted on this evil blogpost of mine.

Worst of all is that this is also in the middle of Blaugust (pretty much ending in just ten days now) and now I’ll have to play catch up! If this wasn’t the case I could simply let it happen, I literally post at least twice per week anyway, not that that means something.

The only good thing is that there’s a couple drafts that should be done very soon. I rarely publish thouse but the desperation on my side is on that level already.

In any case, I just want to get some post out there to break the procrastination streak and call it day.

That’s a good title, I’ll use it, hope you enjoy it. The original title was actually “When a blogpost stun-locks you”, but perhaps that is too much of a gaming reference for some.

I really want to write a little less about games too, but also not, because I love to talk about games, confusing stuff!

Perhaps I am just playing way too much Outer Wilds this week and my brain can’t process everything properly right now. Too many mind-bending moments.

The blogpost in question is my retelling of my session of Land of Eem with friends by the way. Though my review of Gris is also pending…

This is day 21 of #100DaysToOffload and day 16 of #Blaugust2026
