“Procrastination is an emotion regulation problem, not a time management problem.”
Pychl, (2019)
In other words, procrastination is less about a task you’re delaying and more about the underlying feelings induced by the task you’re avoiding.

I love autocorrect sometimes. I might not have meant "His breath was reggae," but it did make me laugh.

Cyberpunk noir with a bunch of satire? I mean, why wouldn't you?
Did you know you can pre-order Iconoclast right now? Both in ebook and paperback format.
Near future cyberpunk noir about the ultra-wealthy ruining everything, and the people who've had enough and are forced into action.
Does that seem timely? Shit. #books 📚

If you haven't read Eleventh Cycle now is a great time to pick it up.
Oh man, I am so absolutely proud and excited for how Forgotten Seed is turning out! The past 2 years were about improving as an author and it is finally paying off 🙌

A big thank you, Jess! And Merry Christmas. What an amazing review 😍
Day 23 - " Spirit of Whitenight" by @kiannardalan.bsky.social
Ardalan's prose is beautiful and melancholy. It captures the feelings of grief during the holidays. I was quite moved by his writing, especially with the ending.
