Just got my first seven-screen weekly update message from one of my kid’s P&F year contact. Buried amongst the pages of text was one thing I actually needed to know. I look forward to the barrage of confused WhatsApp messages.

It was a real lightbulb moment for me. Time management has nothing to do with it, as usual it’s those bloody feelings.

I was reading up a bit on procrastination (while procrastinating). There was a description of it as an avoidance response to anticipated cognitive-emotional overload. I think this is how I experience the entire writing process!

I wonder if that asymptote you experience is a bit the same?

No Omniloop either. Or even Deja Vu, which is a better (messier) film than many on that list.

I’ve been thinking a bit about where I expend my time and energy and I’ve realised admin work is cognitively shallow but emotionally noisy.

This is probably obvious to many but was kind of revelatory to me. It doesn’t need brainpower but involves a tonne of emotional labour.
