Just had this thought a few days back and it's been on my mind. I consciously have been allocating certain things during times that I know won't be productive at all. Sort of like an intentional sabotage, or game of cat and mouse with my executive function (or lack thereof). In the moment I'm like, yeah I totally will hop on my laptop in bed and work on that project a bit, that sounds totally like me. But when I'm there, I question why I ever thought in a million years I would.

It did help though when I started remembering that notion more during the time I was "placing" those tasks in the future, and sort of calling myself out. Even small things like moving a cup from a bedside table or something.. I'll clean that all up before I go to bed. I imagine a version of myself standing right behind me blocking the way saying "No, you'll do it now".
