Procrastination is the thief of dreams.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
From an early draft Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin (1833), where the author procrastinates by sketching his Russian contemporaries.

There's some dude (derogatory) on FB who is PISSED people are pricing their farm fresh eggs at $2 and $3 a dozen instead of $4+, saying it's "disrespectful" and "undignified" and "I'm trying to feed my kids" like Sir, you are on a Facebook group page bitching about your neighbors egg prices because your pet chickens aren't earning you a living wage and you think it's your neighbors' fault, you do not have a leg to stand on here wrt dignity.
Also half the answers are like "I give them to friends and family free" or "I donate them to food banks" or "I'm making them affordable to folks who might not otherwise be able to get them now that they're so expensive in the store" and "if you think you're going to turn a profit keeping backyard chickens you have been wildly misled" and so on, and so forth, and I'm so living for it.
and I can tell you right now, he did NOT like my answer of "if you're trying to feed your kids, I hear eggs are edible."

“Why are you wasting your time directing?”
This very weird compliment from many years ago comes back to haunt me periodically. Still can't quite figure it out. #theatre #acting #directing #WeirdCompliments

One thing I’ve noticed about people in or entering their 30s is they don’t make as many compromises anymore. If someone doesn’t meet them halfway, is not up to standard, is just not where they’re needed to be, they’re just like “ok cool” and they move on from the person. Which is not to say they’re less empathetic or understanding, but more that they have learned that time is their most prized possession and they’re not willing to make massive compromises on it. They are not obsessed w the idea of fixing someone (bc the concept of fixing a person doesn’t really exist). They simply move on to someone who is up to par. I want that. I want to always move w the awareness that time is my most priceless belonging and I can never buy it back. Ever. So I have to use it wisely

Planning Overkill: A Complete waste of time - E|F Shorts
Planning Overkill: A complete waste of time. It really is a waste of time. I am a huge advocate of planning. The following phrases come to mind. You could argue that they sound profound but really they lack substance:
If you fail to plan then you plan to fail
If you aim at nothing then you’ll likely hit nothing
If you aren’t proactive an intentional in what you do then you will be reactive…
