The OatmealThis is from a larger comic about creativity: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/creativity_things
Olav@oatmeal I have an impressive pile of electronics on my work bench. And several piles not on the workbench

CoolJojo π@oatmeal haha! Very true!

@oatmeal it would be cool if you'd add image description to your posts, people around these parts don't like boosting images without description 
Monica Di, PhD 
@oatmeal I donβt even have to ask. This is a personal attack.
Kristin (vis.social Admin)@oatmeal Oh yeah....I can totally relate to this.
Landsil@oatmeal Would it be larger if you didn't get distracted with that new game you've posted? :D

Philip Boardman@oatmeal I know exactly what's going on in this ... *SQUIRREL*
Also, would you mind adding image descriptions please?
Image Alt: A character has stars in their eyes as they chase after a glowing creature wearing a cape labelled "Shiny new thing". In the background is a mound of bulbous creatures of various colours asking to be completed with a big label on the pile reading "Shit I really need to finish".

Conor@oatmeal yippee youβre on Mastodon! Now Iβm never leaving.
LZVolk@oatmeal @SusanAShriner Hmmmmβ¦. Looks like βExploding Kittensβ style graphics?β¦..
@oatmeal @SusanAShriner I was curious, so I followed the link to the first chapter: Erasers. Glad I did. Now I donβt feel so self-flagellated about using erasers in my artwork. (Oh no! I canβt get rid of the pencil lines! π²)
Kenny Kravitz@oatmeal Big ADHD Energy

The Duality of Xan@oatmeal I canβt help but feel called out by this.
locnar@oatmeal We don't deserve you. You are too great.
fluffy π@oatmeal hello ADHD
Shachihoko@oatmeal I'd been wondering where it came from. Thank you!
stoicmike@oatmeal I used to have two inboxes in my office. One was for things that if I didn't deal with them something bad would happen. The other was for all the rest. When that one got too high I would empty it into the wastebasket.
Rai Aren πβ¨ππΊπ¦@oatmeal The larger comic is so brilliant, really worth checking out! π β€οΈ
Carlos Sierra πΉ@oatmeal Been there! (Pretty much all the time)
amino@oatmeal when is Shartbook going live? If Tacodog isn't the site mascot, so help me God, I WILL snap all the eraser off your pencils

Bodhipaksa@oatmeal Your series on creativity was wonderful. Thank you.
kieliscallingIch liebe @oatmeal seit ich durch eine kleine Browsererweiterung namens "Stumbleupon" gestolpert bin (Pun intended) - Aber die Darstellung, wie der Prozesse des Schaffens fΓΌr einen Kreativen aussieht, ist MEGA witzig! https://theoatmeal.com/comics/creativity_erasers β€οΈ Thank you Matthew!

I can relate to that: Announced my album in 2018, produced an EP in 2021 and now it's 2023 already without a release. πΆ
If I made music for the living, I'd probably starve as it's said in the German idiom "Brotlose Kunst" (Breadless art). π

EmilyDuffy@oatmeal Thanks so much for your list of 8 things! As a constipated artist I really needed these today!
Tadonic the Flautulent@oatmeal Whilst slightly better than most of my friends... you don't know how BAD they are. π I only feel virtuous by comparison to the worst.
