Dear godβ¦
The folks in these comments mad they had to work to understand are cracking me up.
And yeah, it could be much better executed.
The difference of weight on each side would drive me crazy.
You can shift the pole on your back until it's balanced.
Also the water is the vast majority of the weight
I didnβt get the message as well.
I think the big reason is the tree to the right obscuring the continuity from the pond to the house. Maybe the row of flowers continuing towards the pondβs edge (sans tree) would have made it more obvious.
Also because it shows her walking to the right then flips perspective and she's on the left, confusing the viewer
This applies to ADHD as well: We might seem to be procrastinating, but i at least get a whole lot of stuff done during that "procrastination" period, such as reading unrelated wikipedia articles. I wouldn't learn stuff if i didn't do it because i'm procrastinating on something else.
I've got two words that I've coined that I use to describe this stuff.
"Para-productive" tasks are like what you describe. Usually procrastination related, but in a useful way. Examples might include tidying up my desk rather than starting the essay I need to do. For me, that kind of thing helps me to gear up towards the proper task. Random reading of fun stuff also helps me to focus better when I get onto the task. I find that I work best when I do a sort of task "circuit training", where I have an array of tasks that I cycle between β and some of these tasks need to be fun for it to work.
"Psuedo-productive" is similar, except bad vibes. It is often associated with unhealthy avoidance towards tasks that I'm dreading, or an excessive level of procrastination. This word is mostly just to distinguish between the good and bad kinds of procrastination.
that's very interesting. I'm gonna try to remember that "para-productive" term, it fits really well :)
What a charming story. There is much depth to it beyond the obvious.
Damn my pollen allergy. I must get rid of that leaky bucket.
The row of flowers escaped me for a minute
