Why do I treat starting a task like it needs a government-approved timing? 😭🚀
I swear my brain only respects premium hours.
3:00 is perfect.
3:15 feels productive.
3:30 feels serious.
4:00 feels like a new chapter of life.
But 3:12?
3:07?
3:26?
My brain: “Illegal. Not allowed. Sit down.” 💀
I had one simple task to finish.
Nothing crazy.
Nothing complicated.
Just needed to START.
So I checked the time.
3:00.
Perfect start.
Then I blinked…
and it became 3:02.
Brain: “Nope. Missed the golden window. Wait for 3:15.”
3:15 came…
and I was scrolling LinkedIn like I was preparing a research paper on procrastination.
Looked at the time.
3:16.
Brain: “We don’t start at cursed timings. Next slot: 3:30.” 😭
At 3:30?
I was eating snacks like deadlines didn’t exist.
Then I saw 3:31.
Brain: “Okay now wait for 4:00. Be civil.”
4:00 arrived.
4:00 disappeared.
I swear it lasted half a second.
Then it hit 4:05.
And suddenly…
for absolutely NO logical reason…
productivity mode activated.
My brain went:
“YES. NOW feels right.” 😂🔥
Time made zero sense.
But the motivation hit like a jump scare.
If your brain also rejects random minutes and waits for “auspicious timing” to start anything…
please know that you’ve already joined my club ! 😭🤝
We don’t start early.
We don’t start on time.
We start when the universe glitches and gives us a random spark.

Deepika, this is honestly the most accurate explanation of how the “productive brain” works — or refuses to work — some days. The way you’ve captured that weird mix of intention, timing rituals, and sudden motivation bursts feels so real. What I really appreciate is how you turn a common struggle into something light, relatable, and oddly comforting. Posts like this remind us that productivity isn’t always linear — and that a little humour makes the whole journey easier. Thanks for putting it into words so perfectly.
