    Are you impulsive or cautious?

    Years ago, I was a fairly cautious person. I was a planner and I followed my plan. When taking essay exams, I outlined all my answers before I wrote a single word.

    But lately I've caught myself being more impulsive. I notice it most in my writing, which I'd love to be my career but is only a hobby, really. When I started my blog in 2009, I just did it. No planning, just writing and posting. And I never looked back.

    More recently, I've been even more impulsive with writing tasks. It's weird.

    What about you? Are you impulsive or cautious? Or maybe it depends on the situation?

    Insomniac Self-Talk

    I'm nearly writhing in my skin from indecision.
    The amount of time I've watched pass me by surprisingly surpasses the dedication paid to film after film--entire series!
    I'm ashamed and embarrassed and tired and unful-f*cking-filled.
    Moved the least I have in ages and spent the most amount of money.
    Wednesday Thursday Friday. Progressively less done each day...down to nothing.
    Saturday and Sunday require my entirety.
    Totally intentional energy and productivity.
    Come on, Self. Just do it. You can.
    (Prove it.)
