Overcoming the Lamest Excuse Ever
And it felt like a tiny win, but a win, nonetheless.
There’s been a power outage in my area since morning.
So, with the help of the backup, I’ve kept all my devices fully charged in case the repair work goes on overnight.
Current situation — It’s 6 PM, and the backup has died.
My first instinct was not to use my laptop (at 100%) and work on the next article. And that’s because I was worried the battery would run out and I wouldn’t be able to use it at night.
But my second thought was —
“Am I worrying about something that hasn’t even happened yet and using it as an excuse to procrastinate?”
If I’d let my overthinking brain take over, I wouldn’t be writing this.
And guess what? Within 15 minutes of writing this piece, the lights lit up at home.
Did it happen because I overcame a stupid excuse?
It’s practically doubtful, but sure as hell feels so.
