Just… being lazy. Like, the clothes are washed and dried, but they stay in the basket and never get put up. I put chores off a lot. There’s a certain anxiety I have about stuff, like I’m worried it’ll take forever or take a lot of effort. It never does, and it always works out better, but that anxiety stops me every time.
I’ve started saying everything multiple times like Johnny Two-Times in Goodfellas and it’s driving my wife nuts nuts nuts.
I’ve been attempting to stop biting my nails for decades at this point.
Have you tried nail polish? I had a nail biting phase which I successfully replaced with a nail polish phase.
I’ve had it suggested but haven’t tried it. Are you talking about color polish, or what people have tried suggesting to me, polish that tastes awful?
I do colour polish because I like colours, but frankly I’ve not encountered any good-tasting nail polish :P
I managed to break this particular habit. A friend of mine commented about how she looks at people’s fingers nails… I stopped overnight. Got an actual set of files and keep them shaped and buffed. A little oil and they are nice and shiny without any polish too
I’m just really bad at forming habits. I know what I need to do, I can come up with routines or ways to do it, maybe even do it for a couple of days. But I just can’t seem to ever get habits I want to form to last for any length of time.
Every task requires my full activation energy to achieve, I can’t get into and hold habits where I’m already primed for it. It sucks.
I crack literally every knuckle in my fingers. I crack my wrists, elbows, neck (that one actually has caused issues), and can even crack my toes and knees sometimes.
I really really want to stop, but as soon as I feel that pressure in my joints, I just have to pop it.
