This Could've Been The Best Article I've Ever Written...

~5 Hours Of Writing Removed.

That's right. I just cleared this entire field. I deleted everything. I had images and an insanely long article on the way, but out of nowhere, I decided to delete it. This would've been the longest article I'd ever written. It would've been filled with details I've never shared before... But I suddenly felt like not sharing it, so I had to delete it all.

Talk about a waste of time...

As it began yesterday already, after a discussion I had, I probably spent 5-6 perhaps even 7 hours in total. However, this is far from the first time I'm doing this. I actually do this quite often. There are things you can share, and I felt that this would've been something great, for you and for me, but I just couldn't do it.

These actions stops me from publishing posts, but it often boosts my motivation or become the inspiration for other things. Although these things are good, it still hurts to realize how much time I spent doing literally nothing at all...

Have you ever felt or experienced the same thing?

That you're going all-in on something and drastically just change your mind mid-way? I wonder why I do it, and I hate wasting so much time, but at the end of the day, I'm pretty satisfied anyways.

This scenario is very common with me. In fact, I initially cleared the entire field of this comment and started from scratch again. It wouldn't have been the best comment I'd ever written you know

How come you decided to clear the field?

Cos I figured it wouldn't have been the best comment I'd ever written! 😉

This could've been the post I upvote with a 100% but then I decided not to. :p

Haha, well, you wouldn't have given me a 100% upvote on the original one either, so I'm totally okay with that. :P

hahaha!

Hi @hitmeasap

Just bumped into your profile just to realize that we seem to share a number of interests :)

In particular that we both share a similar passion towards cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology :)

big fat upvote on the way! :)

I will follow you closely :)
Take care, Piotr

Cool, thanks for the follow and nice to meet you @crypto.piotr. :)

We learn from everything. Everything we do and think changes us in some way. It's hard for me to declare time spent as wasted anymore. Unless it holds up an immediate agenda. Then it is short term waste.
Rather than wasted, perhaps it was just a mental exercise.

perhaps it was just a mental exercise.

That's a very good point!

Whenever you are ready.

I'm ready, but the world ain't ready for me. :P

Oh we are ready! 😉 ....next time!

I know how you feel.

Have you ever felt or experienced the same thing?

Not exactly but a similar thing. Somehow i get the motivation to do something and i am pumped and if let's say 1-2 hours pass i say screw it :P

Is that if you haven't started yet, or if you aren't done in 1-2 hours?

if i haven't started yet
