Procrastination

Maybe a strategy for end running procrastination is to do something useful or valuable when you are avoiding doing something else that is important. That way, at least you get something done. But….that might help you avoid feeling guilty about what you have neglected…and that may not be good since presumably the guilty feeling is actually pleasurable, in a toothache sort of way, else why would you procrastinate to start with? Masochism, I suppose. The guilt of not doing the right thing gets you an outcome you perversely want: guilt.

Flying Away

I have gotten comfortable enough on the motorcycle that I have to work at keeping the speed down. I just want to goooooooooo! Not good, but it just sneaks up on me. I get used to 50 or 60 and it seems slow which leads to a constant escalation of perception about what is "fast". Conditions have to determine the right speed and the smart rider is going to respond to that "box" of traffic, visibility, and weather conditions in which he is riding, but the excited Bat person lurking in the soul just wants to fly.
