    This was me the other day. I spent hours and hours coding up some things in python when all I was supposed to do were the dishes.

    The dishes didn’t get done because it was too hard, but I got fancy looking weather graphs from the data from my air quality sensor that I built while avoiding other simple chores that really ought to have been done by now.

    People think I’m lazy and refuse to listen to me about this, but it literally gets in the way of things like eating and sleeping.

      The struggle is real and most don’t get it. Ive had to forcibly quit hobbies that triggered that ‘lock-in’ because my life was going along unmanaged. There’s no explaining it to peoole who don’t experience it.
