This epidemic of false procrastinators makes it harder for us real-deal procrastinators to find help or a supportive community. Seriously, procrastination seems to be one of the most talked about yet still taboo problems in our world today. Talking about how you stayed up all last night to start on a project is almost a badge of honor, but is rarely true, at least in my experience. https://blog.iraalulkar.com/writings/choosing-products/ Thu, 16 Jul 2026 11:47:53 -0400 https://blog.iraalulkar.com/writings/choosing-products/ I love buying things. Additionally, I love high quality products. I am frightened by the new rise of cheaply made products that have infiltrated our daily lives, as many others are, but I still remain hopeful. I think there are still outlets on this world where you can find quality products.

It’s true! I love the idea of pouring hours into a subject and becoming better at it over time. I love knowledge and collecting information about disparate topics. I even like doing the work of learning myself. My only problem is that I may love learning too much. I will often get the urge to learn something: sometimes because of necessity and other times simply for pleasure.
