I learned a new word today - procrastivity. It means "an activity that one does to avoid doing another task". I learned it from my ADHD app that I bought 3 months ago and am just now using. And it describes me perfectly.
I procrastivity everything. From paying bills to writing proposals. It doesn't mean that I don't get those things complete - it just means that I do something else before the task that I am supposed to be doing. I recently learned that I have a rebel personality from a podcast that I listened to and followed it up with the quiz for personality types. This rebel personality is a part of my procrastivity.
Strange word but it does describe me perfectly. I will go record new videos instead of finishing the ones I am working on. I will go for a run before I walk my dog. I will go to sleep rather than check my email. Fun times.
I have been working with bullfrogs all summer long. It has been an experience and I am learning a ton. I have learned more about bullfrogs that I thought possible. My favorite procrastivity has been to go catch more bullfrogs rather than enter the data I have already collected or conduct the literature review needed for the papers I hope to write this winter. I have learned that you can catch a bullfrog with a piece of red cloth or a turtle lure. I have caught them by hand. I have caught them with nets. It has been a blast. It has been my procrastivity...
