Hi, everyone!
Sorry I dropped off the map again. I had to scramble to finish Behind the Scenes vol 7. I was behind. WAY behind. The most I've ever BEEN behind. It was a powerful reminder of why I create a daily page quota, and why I need to stick to it. *face palm*
I go through stages of work hell. First, when I have the most energy reserves, I stop streaming movies and tv shows, and instead I listen to audiobooks and podcasts. This round of work hell, I listened to three audiobooks and IDK how many hours of podcasts. When my attention starts to wander from pure audio, I switch to watching/listening to documentaries. Docus are good because they usually have narration. I don't have to keep my eye on the screen to catch important details, I can just listen and work. I watched 11 documentaries, mostly on Amazon. Third, I switch to standup. Standup is good because it makes me laugh, which increases my energy level and keeps me working. And finally, the last stage is comfort shows. Namely, MASH and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. These are shows that I have watched so many times I have them memorized, and that make me feel happy and safe and reduce stress. Thus, I can work.
This bought of work hell, I skipped the standup stage and went straight to MLP. I watched four episodes as I struggled to finish the book. Which I did. Thankfully.
I spent most of Tuesday and Wednesday asleep, and a bit of Thursday, too. I appear to be recovered. ^^ Now I need to start my next two books, which are Skip 43 and a new title's volume 1.
I hope all of you are doing well, and are able to avoid your own bouts of work hell! *hugs*
