Overcoming the Lamest Excuse Ever
<p>There’s been a power outage in my area since morning.</p>
<p>So, with the help of the backup, I’ve kept all my devices fully charged in case the repair work goes on overnight.</p>
<p>Current situation — It’s 6 PM, and the backup has died.</p>
<p>My first instinct was not to use my laptop (at 100%) and work on the next article. And that’s because I was worried the battery would run out and I wouldn’t be able to use it at night.</p>
<p>But my second thought was —</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Am I worrying about something that hasn’t even happened yet and using it as an excuse to procrastinate?”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If I’d let my overthinking brain take over, I wouldn’t be writing this.</p>
<p>And guess what? Within 15 minutes of writing this piece, the lights lit up at home.</p>
<p>Did it happen because I overcame a stupid excuse?</p>
<p>It’s practically doubtful, but sure as hell feels so.</p>
