Just finished Oracle by Andrew Pyper on Audible, now gonna tackle the podcast sequel. I both really liked the story and also loved Joshua Jackson as the narrator. Both are available free to listen! Would recommend. #AmReading #AmListening #SupnaturalThriller #Mystery

"How to Practice 'Productive Procrastination'"

An essay in which I meditate on the idea of inventor Saul Griffith ...

... which is:

Pick some side "learning projects" -- little things you want to do that require you to pick up a new skill

Then when you can't face work ...

... do one of your side projects for a bit

It's -- worked for me? My essay on it: https://clivethompson.medium.com/how-to-practice-productive-procrastination-e2522247bd07

It was leaning towards the window, I’ve just rotated it in hopes it’ll continue to do the same and that will right it’s lean. But, it can’t keep growing like this! 😂 I have exceptionally high ceilings indoors, but it’s not gonna fit on my porch OR in a normal room as is.
A little over a year ago I topped and propagated my fiddle leaf, having been told that topping it would stop it’s upward growth (which was necessary because I was running out of ceiling space). Well, let me tell you how it did none of those things. #PlantLife #Plants #Grow #IndoorJungle #Fiddle
I don't know if it's the stars, some sort of cosmic conspiracy by Big Tech, or just sheer coincidence but... I do know one thing. Every single time Mercury gets drunk on Gatorade ALL my tech *immediately* goes on the fritz. And it drives me absolutely batty!
We had a short church service this morning. The last song we sang was ‘Go Tell It On the Mountain’ and my youngest nephew got so excited because “we sing this in my class!” And that little nugget of a human stood up on that pew and belted that song out so good the choir director had the whole church sing the chorus again twice so Brayden could keep singing 🥹🥹 Merry Christmas indeed. Cutest shit I’ve ever seen.
It’s here! The #telescope is here! ✨ The countdown to Christmas can officially begin haha.
