Procastinator's tricks to be productive: Schedule messages

I hate to write people. They could answer. My whole plan might be thrown off. But when is the best time to answer them? The day after tomorrow? Too late. Tomorrow. Around 10? Thank you to all messengers that allow me to schedule a message. Instead of procrastinating, I answer, I schedule, and if I am in a bad mood, I later come back and abort and rewrite the message nicer.

Went perfectly swimmingly with my happy new year messages. Everyone got them at 00:00. Yes my friend, you're obviously the most important thing in my life, first thing I did was writing you!

    I was in the overthinking phase.

    Then I was in the I do not give a crap phase. Went like this in extreme cases: "What, it is 2am, why the fuck is your phone not muted? I have to be called twice in 30 seconds for it to ring. A message won't make me, that's your problem."

    You do that until you have a person that holds power over you... And then you're like: "Is it really worth pissing him off?"

    My system works for me, and I think for more people who have not considered it, yet. Did wonders to my anger issues. Still have those... But they are my private affair that no one needs to know.

    Hmm... Anger issues is not the right word. Bad moods make me... belligerent. I can usually delete those message before I send them.

    00:02 so it isn't that obvious that it was scheduled
