Some days when I avoid chores it ends up making them bigger and scarier in my mind until I end up avoiding them entirely thinking it's a "lost cause", because I'll "never" finish doing all the dishes, "never" be able to untangle my messed up hair, etc.

I found that just doing part of the task boosts my confidence. Like I dedicate 5 minutes to put dishes away - I set a timer. The whole thing might seem impossible, but 5 minutes is possible. So I set the timer and I start doing the task. And five minutes later I feel more confident, relieved, and I no longer hate myself for my inaction.

The hardest part is getting started. I find that setting a limit on getting started, like "5 minutes", makes it way easier.

Best of luck comrade.

badposting is a comm where you post badly

This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?

Rules:

Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
This rule intentionally left blank.
If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo
