Pretty sure they're saying when people are asked to do things they'll say they need 5. Loads of people say "Gimme a minute" or "Give me a sec" and then come back like an hour later.
People are seemingly missing the point of "base unit". The smallest amount is 5 minutes. Which in all respect is true. I'll confirm what I'm saying in a bit though.
Honestly yeah. Sometimes I like to think of stuff based on stuff I'm looking at. I will often stand up staring into the distance thinking of things. I do this for quite a while, so yeah at least 5 minutes.
I am procrastinating on the thing I was doing before thinking.
I wish I wasn't so lazy and bad with words that could write my ideas down.
I think this is accurate. I blame my kindergarten teachers who would end recess by shouting, "five minutes," and I would run up and get in line. Five minutes seemed like forever standing in that line.
... i would challenge this, but I need to get more material.
I'll go do that in like... five minutes.
I conducted a small poll recently and came to the same conclusion
I will have to get back to you on that
Tomorrow is going to be best and most productive day of my life.
Tomorrow me is going to be so productive. But current me deserves to smoke a bowl and play some vidya.
Been saying that for years.
Never realized it till now, but ya, same here.
His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever tasted.
More of this
Later
No.
Moar.
Moar nao.
Gimmie five minutes
Hey, it's been at least five minutes, mate.
I don't know man, I work in base months sometimes.
You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.
Over achiever
I don't get it

You're obviously an amateur. I negotiate my procrastinations in base units of months or years. The juice has to be worth the squeeze, right?
That's a weird way to spell "days"
I argue that it's fewer.
There is a fine balance between procrastination and indecision
Give me two seconds...
My ADHD begs to differ.
It's more like 5 seconds for me.
So there is a minimum?
"Just give me a sec"
I've decided to make the base unit one life

I'll give you my opinion tomorrow
I'll give you thirty seconds, and I'm gone...
Guess I'm on Base 2moro

Well I'm up to about 15 of those so...
My minute to minute alarm setting habit says otherwise 🤣
whoa calm down don't rush things
Also known as "a bit".
Also known as "later"
One tomorrow is equivalent to a byte.
Actually 40 minutes is a byte
Eventually is a MB
Hahahaha i wish I had my free award for you...
I have a free award to give them but I'll do it later
Hold on just a minute…
This is Marginal Analysis.
Just one more minute....
Just one more minute....
For me it's whatever amount of minutes gets me to the next half-hour or hour mark. Then I'll start. (Theoretically.)

Unless you're in grad school, in which case the base unit is a thesis
Or "one more game"
3 - 5 business days
If you haven't wasted 30 minutes are you really procrastinating?
my base unit is 20 mins
Okay this is really good.
Not sure that's right, but I'll get to it later
there is no such thing as a 10 minute meeting
I agree but often the base unit is not used always. Often, when waking up, I give myself 3 minutes and 32 seconds to get up.
!remindme 5 minutes
Also known as "one sec"
If 5 minutes is after this…
I would say something els, but i might wait a week tbh. Ill keep you guys updated maybe.
This...does not make me feel great about my procrastination sessions! ;)
Give me a minute to think about that.
Two procrastinations please
Wasn't it a denomination of 1, 3 and 5s?
As documented by the landmark study "Pre-Zoom Meeting Bathroom Break Expediency in Work From Home Settings"
It can take as little as 2 minutes to procrasturbate
AKA: 300 seconds
AKA: 0.83 hours
0.825 hours*
I'm gonna kick your ass for correcting me, nerd
Yes please, daddy
-laughs in ADHD-
I'll procrastinate later
Tbh for me it's 2 min lol.
Girlfriend: "Can you give me a ride to the store?"
ME: "Sure are you ready?"
Girlfriend: "I just need to put on my shoes."
Me (15 minutes later) "Let's go!"
Girlfriend: "Don't rush me. I'm working on it. It makes me nervous when you always rush me."
Me: "I'll be in the car."
Not for me
how did you figure this out>?
Hah you sweet summer child. Raise you 5 years
Can I have 5 minutes to think about this?
