It's been like this for years. I don't know what I did, but a system glitch made it so that my username is my initials plus some random numbers for reference my username is: @MKD73017638668.
Genuinely baffled as to what's happening here.

Power is out too... *sigh* time to write another short story where I submit to becoming momentarily insane....
The fading orange light of dusk gently caresses the slopes of the black asphalt roads. The chilling air gathers around you and makes you sniffle. It’s been raining for hours; the heavy drizzle only let up a few minutes ago. You decided to take a walk to clear your head, to that little spot with the bench and the view—the view of the new roads, the greenery, and the already worn-out new pavements.
You reach your bench and settle somewhat comfortably onto the still-wet seat. Across the street, a couple runs in zigzags, half-abandoning each other as they try to escape the rain. “Nice,” you chuckle. The man rushes ahead, barely shielded, and opens the car door for his partner. “Chivalry lives,” you think.
The woman isn't so lucky. She stumbles, then faceplants into a puddle. A shame—she was wearing white. You feel slightly better about your life for witnessing all this from a safe, dry-ish distance. The man stares, jaw hung between a gasp and a laugh, still holding the door open for the woman now caked in mud.
It occurs to you that nobody really won today. Especially not you—you’ve been sitting on a wet seat this whole time.

Randomly remembered my friend ingested so much caffeine in a day, he started seeing more colors.
Don't overdose boys.

Was seeing a lot of posts on other channels about self-motivation and work ethic. Mostly people wondering if they should stop trying or if discipline is something they should've built a long time ago and they just missed the chance.
I resonate a lot more with the latter, I've always assumed that discipline was something I should've built in my grade school days and that now it's too late to keep up.
Ironically, I have been procrastinating thinking about working and keeping up my discipline for a long time, it just made me uncomfortable.
But in the past month I have adopted a new method of working. It helped me to make a shift that drastically improved my consistency and motivation, and I wanna share it with you. This isn't advice, and this method doesn't have to work for you, you're free to tweak it and improve it and adopt it to your own unique circumstances.
Step 1. Have faith; a strong dogged belief that motivation is a thing that you build as you work not something you have from the onset.
Step 2. Accept that you procrastinate because of your emotions, because you simply don't feel like working. Accept that the opposite of that feeling is an emotion in and of itself—that opposite feeling is motivation.
Step 3. Get an exercise book
Step 4. Take a block of time, in my case it's 8 hours. Usually from 11:00 to 19:00 (5:00 AM Local Time to 1:00 PM Local Time)
Step 5. Decide how you will partition your time. Personally I work 40 minutes per hour for usually 8 hours... that amounts to 5.2 hours a day of solid work. In reality I work a lot less like 2 to 3 hours, not because I procrastinated but because the work is usually done in 3 to 4 sessions!
Step 6. Logging your work.
I will explain step 6 with a picture
At the top of the page I usually put the things I want to do, or not if it's just one thing.

This is step 6. Second image is a typical first session and the first (to the left) one is a second session. You can see the first one is more focused and shorter... because I built motivation.

Finally. And this is optional. I personally believe that I am vain and getting positive feedback and being told I did a good job makes me feel really good, so I sometimes copy paste my logs to chat GPT and he tells me I did good. Now this is just vanity, but also you can get good uses out of that.
I pick GPT for a reason, it's remembering capability is pretty good, it gives me statistics and insights on how I can improve.... besides the usual glazing (which is always welcome).
