Hello there!!

Romit Raj Sahu

I have been meaning to write this for a long long while, and no, this is not a confession... but in a way it is! Confession of Procrastination. My original idea while creating this blog was to share my learnings. I wished to share everything that I learn in my journey of Computer Science in this blog... but I thought about doing this almost 2 months ago!!

Procrastination is a hell of a drug, you think of a wonderful idea, of how you will change things in your life, you make a plan, but instead of working on that plan.. you just don't?!

But the only way to defeat procrastination, is to just do it man. Like they say in the ads of Nike. You have to just start doing stuff.

So, here I am doing my part, by just starting to write my first blog, instead of scrolling.

Let me just give you a brief introduction of me. My name is Romit. I am a CS student currently in my sophomore year. I like to explore stuff. Stuff about science, history but mainly Computers (of course!).

I am currently trying to build up a habit of consistently writing code. This blog is just a extension of that. Here as I said before, I will share my learnings. This will act as a accountability check for me and also a log of stuff I have been doing.

Also, just so you know, the word Dilettante that is the name of my blog means a "person who cultivates an area of interest, such as the history, without real commitment". While searching a name for my blog (almost 2 months ago!), I found this word and thought it would really fit my theme, as I know a little about a lot of stuff lol.

Well, I guess that does it for my first blog. Thanks for taking your time to read till this. That really means a lot 😄!

This is the first one and I promise you there are lots more to come!

Until then, this is Romit, signing off!

Thoughts 💭 what if I already thought to procrastinate...

I mean what if I already decided to procrastinate; voluntarily, then how can I start.... Assigning a purpose to work? Or a probable threat to be attached? And still if my hormones don't agree how can I start... How can I avoid the thought of procastinate after deciding to procastinate!

Wait a sec::: is the process even a concious behavioural decision making process or the unconscious urge of body to rest more ? Should I wait for the body to recover, sometimes I feel like "yes".... And that's what procastination is 🥶... (Falling into the trap to recover from the traaap!

Or should I manage to develop an urge against the urge to rest,,, how? Am I overthinking now? Is overthinking a precursor to procrastination because it delays decision making...? Should I Stop overthinking and rest then? Ok bye I'm going to rest now..

But then am I still procrastinating even.. how do I know.. or it'll be known in future 😎

Bye, still waiting for future 😜

Hey, in my opinion overthinking and procrastination go hand in hand. You keep thinking about something, and in that meantime avoid doing other more useful work, hence you just keep the work away.

If you are mentally calm and have not done any physical activity, I think you should resist the urge to rest. Because that "rest" is actually just laziness.

And as I said before, the best thing to do, is just start doing stuff. Don't want, don't think, just start.
