Time Lag

You just got home from a party last night; you still feel the upbeat. All what you did bears down on you, and you feel that it is what you need. Now, the thought of the task you had left unfinished surfaces, but you do not feel like starting already.

What you do next is to let the time pass until the spirit of the party no longer holds. Some days, it is the perfect thing to do because it sets your pace for the work. Almost all of the days, it just makes you feel unmotivated.

Time lag can be a proof of an undecisiveness due to an emotional attachment. You can't get enough of what you had, that's why you are now looking for an add-on. So, you'd rather watch a two-hour movie to unwind first than have at least a little progress on your work.

Most likely, you  haven't plotted out your day's agenda that's why you can tolerate it. What's worse is that you feel entitled for it. Almost always you feel having a break even if you have just had one because you do not realize that there are still other important things to tick off.

Yet, time lag can be as helpful as what you think it is if you could just regulate it. 

It is different from a lag that a gadget experiences. Time lag can be time for rethinking your activities; it can be a moment for mindfulness. More important, it can just be what you need to set the mood for work.
