There are many things that apparently "I should be doing" but actually those turn out be someone else's ideas that may sound great but.. they're just not for me.
So when I find myself procrastinating I quickly decide: I'm not going to do it at all. If deciding that gives me sense of relief then I take it was a sign I was right to drop it.
But if decding that feels wrong then I will contemplate on it, because maybe it was pointing towards something that I should be looking into more closely.
For example, our culture is really trying to sell the idea of "I should be going to gym" but no, I shouldn't. Instead it's probably a good idea to put my muscles into work somehow but then that doesn't have to be gym.
But I can tell that everytime I'm doing the thing that's good for me: I'm in flow and things are rolling forward very nicely. I don't need anyone telling me what I should or should not.
