It's absurd and horrifying at the same time.

‘am i Having A Brain Problem or Being a Shithead’: a short procrastination checklist

aka why tf am i procrastinating on The Thing (more like a flowchart, actually)

lots of people who have executive function difficulties worry about whether they’re procrastinating on a task out of laziness/simply wanting to be a jerk or mental struggles. this checklist might help you figure out which it is at any given time! (hint: it’s almost never laziness or being a jerk.) (obligatory disclaimer: this is just what works for me! something different might work better for you.)

1) do I honestly intend to start the task despite my lack of success?

2) am I fed, watered, well-rested, medicated properly, etc?

3) does the idea of starting the task make me feel scared or anxious?

4) do I know how to start the task?

5) do I have everything I need to start the task?

6) why am i having a hard time switching from my current task to this new task?

7) have I already procrastinated so badly that I now cannot finish the task in time?

reality check: having part of a thing done is almost always better than none of a thing done. if I can get an extension, having part of it done will help me keep from stalling out until the extension deadline. i’ll feel better if I at least try to finish it.

reality check: if i’m having fun doing what I’m doing, I can keep doing it, but I should probably set a timer & ask someone to check on me to make sure I start doing the task later today.

8) I’ve completed the checklist and still don’t know what’s wrong!

hope this helps some of you! YOU’RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE DON’T GIVE UP ON YOU

rabbits know and resent their place on the food chain

mice and rats also know they’re prey animals, they just have such joy of living that it cancels out. guinea pigs have no concept of death but understand contextless fear. hamsters however do know the food chain, but they also know that attachment to the earth is the root of suffering and they wisely deny the faults of the ego

Correction: rats are in the middle of the food chain (they are both predators and prey) and it is this relationship to death that gives them such zest for life.

You can tell Shuro can’t actually handle Falin bc the moment he heard about the black magic he threw a fit. Like oh, you wouldn’t throw away your soul to bring her back? You wouldn’t commit unspeakable atrocities for her? Grow up.

Meanwhile, as soon as Falin is revived and hears they’ve been eating monsters, she wants to join. And Marcille is like, so unsurprised. You think Shuro could handle that? No. Leave the heavy lifting to the lesbians 🙄 you don’t have what it takes.

btw if you're in the US - B&N apparently has 25% off pre-orders for the next two days which includes my new queer regency rom-com(ic). like the sale is for members, but membership is free.

Publishing is rough atm and pre-ordering is one of the best ways to help get books on lists & library and bookshop shelves. So if you're wanting to get a copy, this is a good way to do it that's also cheaper
