Hi Sarah and the anon who's overwhelmed at work,

I just wanted to share that I've been dealing with this a lot recently while finishing my dissertation and it's so difficult! One thing that helped me was the pomodoro technique (25 minutes of uninterrupted work, 5 minute break, repeat 3-4 times, then 15 minute break) because it helped frame this daunting task as "oh, I only have to do 25 minutes. I can handle that!" For me, getting started on the overwhelming pile up was always the hardest part (something something about a recovering perfectionist not wanting to perform badly so avoids getting started at all).

Best of luck to you anon! You can do this! Proud of you for reaching out to others for insights/support. 💚

I often employ this too and will set timers for the tasks I need to do most when I know I'm in a headspace where I don't want to tackle it so I at least try to give myself a period of committed time where it makes it more manageable to do ("I only have this much time and I can make that work and then when it's over I will be free!!!!!!).

This is such great advice, friend.

i am a little scared of the potential ttpd addition to eras!! bc selfishly i am worried about cuts from the set :( as a girlie who has never seen taylor live i would take the existing set over the new songs 😔

I totally understand this and feel you. It's tough on both sides for people who have / haven't experienced changes made to the tour and wish they could get the other experience instead!

Frantic evermore re-listen before release! Look, I know we don't *know* who Gold Rush is about but real question for Taylor - girl, who is the everybody participating in this Gold Rush and who would die to feel this man's touch...🤨🤨🤨 Sorry, if that's mean lol I have never rolled my eyes so hard at that song until today.

Digging back through my inbox to this person doing a frantic evermore relisten and having a laugh.

#this goes out to that tsser who has possibly been waiting for the last four years wondering if the reason why said i didn't like gold rush#was for petty reasons and asked me what those petty reasons were#not that these tags have anything to do with the ask itself#tss relistening party

it’s hard guessing your fav song off of TTPD/The Anthology, Sarah, because you are both in the sad bitch AND the bad bitch departments, and so there are many songs that could be it??? (I relate)

I truly think this might be the greatest compliment I have ever received(?!)

Ok, when you either write a long response, quote something from an ask I've said, use tags, or ESPECIALLY tag tsser... I feel like I've made it.

Like I just love the entire community you built here so much and even though I get confused about half the topics, TSSQ really feels like virtual friendship. You're truly a gem of a human and I hope you near that daily from someone because you are!!!!!

It could be because I've had a particularly rough and tiring day or because it really is just a simple fact that feeling warm hands outstretched through your screen and knowing that the words you type and the way you treat people in a digital corner of the internet transcends miles and defies all space and time and can matter to people and impact people and affect their day and have the ability to make them know that they are special, loved, and have people who care for them is one of the most unique and wacky and wonderful gifts of the internet but here I am blubbering again and it's fine it really is.

#tsser#i hope all of you know that YOU are all gems#every single one of you precious and prized stones to me

I would like to participate in the guess what Sarah thinks about the songs on TTPD!

Robin is not a favorite and might be right above seven as her least favorite song of all.

Loves The Alchemy - people think you will not like her but you do like Timeless and this has a similar vibe so … I’m going to say you love this sweet romantic song.

Loves the Black Dog because this is the saddest song of all time.

Also Loves The Prophecy and Guilty As Sin.

Another surprise, but long time TSSRs will not be surprised - loves ICDIWABH - it’s happy sounding song with a sad undertone and Sarah also does this with her job so she relates to it.

Loves The Manuscript. Sister to Dear Reader.

And of course loves Peter. Because. Peter Pan.

Ok those are the ones that stood out to me! How did I do??

I HAVE ADDED ALL OF THESE TO THE BINGO SHEET.

Haha I'm not the Anti Oracle, but I also thought Sarah would love champagne problems and Maroon, prob bc they're my faves! So by that logic, Sarah won't love The Black Dog since that is also my favourite

And do you formally wish to submit this for bingo consideration?

Sarah, wow I am so thrilled to see you on Culture Study!! Anne Helen Petersen has cultivated one of my other fav corners of the internet so this is worlds colliding in the best way for me! And now I have to know, were you a Hairpinner back in the day?? Gosh I miss *that* corner of the Internet so bad.

Aw omg I so love hearing that! I truly hope I did the bar she sets justice in my co-hosting spot. I was quite nervous but it was the fastest 'yes' I've ever given to something that came through my inbox. Such a delight to chat with her and I've so admired the space she's been able to create and foster on the internet - an inspiration for sure!

I wasn't but have so loved reading her books and engaging in Culture Study.

Sarah I need your insights!

Have you ever been so overwhelmed at work you just don’t do anything at all? I’m usually so on top of it all and pride myself on keeping everything caught up and perfectly done and for this past week I just can’t get myself to do anything except the really critical stuff. Everything else is just piling up while I wander around the office talking to people, look at my phone, take long breaks for lunch. It’s making everything worse and I can’t get myself to just do my work. It feels pointless and like I will never get all of this shit done. Help.

Hi! I have indeed been there friend. It's horrible and being deep in it just makes you feel so much worse because it's the very thing contributing to the hole that you're in. I'm sorry. Sometimes I have those weeks and it just ... is.

To counteract it I've been trying to use my Reminders app and setting small tasks for myself to get done by the morning, afternoon, and tonight features so that I can at least have manageable to dos that I can point to and use as goals to work towards.

i've been thinking about the emily dickinson intertext of it all and the colour palette--while the black/white colour palette of TTPD reads as depressing, for dickinson white was the colour of passion, the hottest part of a flame (cf. the poem "the white heat")! I think it's potentially a lovely contradiction taylor is working with: the drained, greyscale world still contains intense passion and desire. fun to think about! signed, your friendly local english professor who loves a both/and :)

"Who loves a both/and" SPEAKING TO MY VERY SOUL.

And I think that that's part of the contradiction and mess and in fact gets at the very heart of why TTPD is as painful as it is/was. Because something horrible made her feel so good and also led to so much shame and pain and misery and embarrassment and insanity and pure, unadulterated rage. But it also made her happy and blissful and sexually uninhibited and free. It burned so hot it blinded out her entire world and in the process turned her entire life into a pile of ash.
