What Activities Do You Lose Yourself In?

What activities do you lose yourself in?

Each of us has activities that capture our full attention, making hours pass like mere moments. For some, it’s reading, painting, or exploring nature, but for me, it’s a bit less inspiring: paperwork. Or rather, avoiding paperwork.

Truth be told, paperwork has never been my favorite task. I am remarkably skilled at procrastinating, shuffling papers around, and postponing deadlines until the very last minute. It’s almost an art form how efficiently I can push it aside. Yet inevitably, the day arrives when these neglected tasks pile up, forming a wave that threatens to crash down on me. Only then, when I’m nearly overwhelmed, do I finally dive in.

And here’s the interesting twist I often find myself getting completely absorbed in it once I begin. There’s a certain satisfaction in ticking off boxes, signing documents, and finally clearing that formidable stack of papers. It’s paradoxical, I know, but perhaps it’s precisely this sense of accomplishment that keeps the cycle repeating itself.
