“I have started deleting all my connections to productivity, time management and the like. I realized months ago that they were only pushing me further down the road of “not good enough” craziness. That road ends in existential angst and pits of depression too deep for me to crawl out of without a medical intervention…”
“…The hardships in my life have largely been of my own doing. I didn’t know how to deal with hurt so I hurt myself. I didn’t know how to cope with the most basic of emotions so I lashed out in anger. I confused common decency with intimacy. I shunned love for sexual gratification. And then, much later, I confused organization and time management with being a capable adult.
No one needs my advice on getting their shit together.”
I always liked your advice. I can also see where you’re coming from in this post. Different things carry you through, or hold you back, at different times in life. Sometimes the same thing can do both.
Onwards and upwards, I say.
