What is the best possible use of my time today, and more importantly, what can be done to avoid it?

I'm an awful procrastinator when it comes to making prints at the moment, started some and then decided my website needed a rebuild does look nice though - www.blockforest.co.uk - all done now - so back to prints it is!

Daily life of an author -- masterclass in procrastination

1. It's 2018. Write experimental fantasy short story.
2. Consider Wattpad. Sign up, experiment with Wattpad.
3. Design cover.
4. Decide against Wattpad.
5. Write and self-publish several unrelated full length novels in other genres.

Years later ...

6. Decide to expand into a novella.
7. Complete first draft.
8. Notice (!) lack of worldbuilding.
9. Take part in online Worldbuilding course on the other side of the planet.
10. Go back to revise.
11. Realise the whole thing is execrable.
12. Decide to create a map for it in Inkarnate.
13. Create new pen name and set up in Mastodon
14. Consider creating website and buying domain. Defer due to lack of funds.
15. Write this list.

(Novella did eventually get finished, The Tyrant of Spite ebook is now available at Kobo, Kindle and other ebook outlets The map is not finished ).

Good morning.

7 April 2025

Here’s a thought: for every inaction, there seems to be an equal and opposite inaction. Take my home security system, for example. For a couple of weeks now, it has been alerting me that a break-glass sensor needs a new battery. The replacement battery? I’ve had it all along. In fact, if I glance over my left shoulder, I can see it sitting on the corner of my other desk with three of its companions. My failure to spend five minutes replacing the battery has resulted in precisely nothing happening. Well, except for the security company calling to upsell me on new equipment—a generous offer I politely declined. What they didn’t offer, of course, was to replace the battery themselves. Maybe today’s the day I’ll finally take care of it.

“A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.”

Blocks

My life has been dominated by writing blocks.

Sometimes I overcame them in time. Sometimes I didn't, and sometimes when I didn't there were consequences, well deserved.

Either way, those blocks have come to define me, and I hate it.

So the programs paying your income got the ax?! I wanted to share an update on the progress of my resume revamp. You can see the procrastination is going great! @bustedbearprod.bsky.social #programcuts #fired #jobs #3dprinting #make #procrastination #dadjoke #3dmodeling #silly

Played around a little bit with #numpy and #matplotlib in #python to create a #cyberpunk #voxelart avatar featuring a #c64 #geos disk icon. #procrastination

Sorry, hiding your phone won’t stop your #procrastination

Et voilà qu'à présent, je pouette et je piaille.... En même temps et à tout va!

Et je viens de m'amuser à compter le nombre d'onglets ouverts dans mon navigateur.... 81 onglets ouverts!! C'est dingue parce que lorsque je regarde mon écran, je n'ai pas tellement l'impression qu'il y en a autant!!

Mais comment choisir le sujet que j'ai envie d'analyser, d'aborder sur la minute, sur la seconde ou dans l'heure?! Non vraiment, être du signe de la Balance, c'est une malédiction mais qu'est-ce que je me marre!

(en vrai, c'est un cauchemar et mon cerveau est épuisé parce qu'incapable de choisir ou de se focaliser!)

J'ai plein de commandes de dessin à faire... au point que je suis figée de peur... alors je procrastine

Dessiner autre chose est un moyen pour moi de me prouver que je suis capable tout en me faisant plaisir en dessinant sans pression...

Et toi, c est quoi ta technique ️

What may be done at any time will be done at no time.
