If a man says he's going to do something, he's going to do it. There's no reason to remind him every three months.

I once put off a 5 minute task for so long, it was already at the 6 month replacement mark for when I should have originally done it! Efficient!

I mean that is a good reason to celebrate.

I've been pushing back my rsync backup because I am lazy to connect up the HDD. I might regret it. After all, my last data loss incident happened just 2 weeks ago.

Anyway, I just updated my Manjaro install after over 2 months today 🎉

Was this before or after you tried a few way more complicated approaches to the task that were unnecessarily complex and didn't work out?

Only 8 weeks? Those are rookie numbers!

Celebrate by putting off another 10 5 minute tasks for later

Went to do that task 2 weeks ago and broke my ankle and leg on the way. Had to get surgery for it today. Now my mom is in charge of the task because I'm crippled, but her ADHD is just as bad as mine. I don't expect the task to ever get done.

Meryl Streep is an incredible actress and Adaptation is probably Nicholas Cage’s best works 👌🏽👌🏽

I compensate by including those 8 weeks into my project planning. Nobody knows better anyway
