What's on your mind today?

I'm afraid.

I have until early November to hand in my end of course work and I've barely started writing it. What I have started writing looks like crap. 

Hope it all comes together for you xSP.

Thanks Essie. I just need to figure out how to use my time more efficiently and not go off on a tangent. Both are a major problem.

Trouble with tangents is that they're so darned interesting. It's amazing that this thing called time (which some scientists seem to think is a human construct, whatever that means), is our constantly present despot and can only be managed, never dismissed or ignored.

I agree. I go off on tangents because sometimes I don't want to be "to the point", there are so many interesting things to talk about.  As for time, it is, indeed!

Have you tried using music, not your favourite makes you want to move stuff, something classical or ambient.
I have a notion that my mind has a couple of sides and if one side doesn't like what's on offer it'll just be a nuisance and stop the other side/s getting on with business.
I've sat through some pretty dull lectures but I found doodling helps, it engages a side and lets the other/s be open to some pretty dry stuff.
Anyway, I think you are a multiplicity and if you can distract your problem icities, give 'em a metaphorical colouring book, you might get some work done.

Yep, I generally listen to music while doing my stuff, not any songs that have lyrics because those get both or all my sides paying attention to what's being said. Music without lyrics does help.

Oh dear, I think all these replies are just more tangents ....

I just bought 60 bilingual Portuguese-English books at a great price, now I just need my mother to sell them at her school.

I hope you make some money out of them.

That's the idea. I bought them for less than half price.

Five hundred years ago, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the church at Wittenberg, which effectively started the Protestant Reformation.

Is that him in your new avatar?

[OldGit]

Yes, that's me / him.

Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer!

Good quote!
