I just bought the new Spiderman Multiverse movie to watch with the family. The wife is sleeping through it and the kiddo loves it. But I'm to ADHD to sit through it. Ugh frustrating.

Watch? We watch movies now?

Start movie. Title sequence rolls, immediately tab out because loading screen. Fine, stuff is happening. Ugh, setup/framing scenes. Need coffee. Pause. Kettle on. May as well wait until I've made the coffee so I don't have to break the flow again. I'll just quickly mine some dopamine on the net while i'm waiting. Oh fuck the kettle's boiling. Oh fuck? Oh, right. Procrastinating a thing makes it stressful, it's turned into an obligation and therefore a threat. Okay, fine, I'll get to it, I'll just oh it's 2am.
