Do you guys ever use claude code just to avoid other work?

For context I am a student who juggles classes, freelancing and a personal project.

I can sit in front of claude code for 5 hours, barely thinking, just approving diffs and watching things happen, and walk away feeling like i had a productive day. Meanwhile every other task that actually requires mental work I needed to do gets delayed.

I think it's cuz it requires almost no thinking. Claude does the thinking, you just steer. Perfect way to feel productive while avoiding stuff

The problem with notion isn’t notion as a system. It’s the building your system in notion only FEEL like work and gives you that dopamine boost, so your brain associates: setup = productive

While the actual work, the writing or the project or the assignment is ambiguous and does give you instant feedback and gratification, so when you sit down to do it your brain goes “wait, the system needs a tweak first” or you don’t even get to actual work. I feel like the planning aspect in productivity should be minimal.

This is not just about notion. Overall spending an absurd amount of time chasing the “perfect routine” or discussing the best productivity and discipline tips and tricks. I think most people are trying to find a magic formula, a secret ingredient that would suddenly make them disciplined overnight. However, this is couldn’t be further from the case. Discipline is just a hard pill you need to swallow forcefully, and start DOING THE ACTUAL WORK.
