Entry No. 115

Avoidance Justification Form
On Delay, Redirection, and the Appearance of Productivity

Not all avoidance looks obvious.

Sometimes it looks like:
research, reorganizing, preparing, optimizing, cleaning, making lists, opening seventeen tabs, or suddenly deciding that now is the perfect time to learn something unrelated.

—

This form was designed to document avoidance behavior
with an unnecessary level of structure and administrative seriousness.

Not to stop the behavior.
Only to acknowledge it accurately.
