Thank you.
I just might be able to continue with my struggle.
Who knows, maybe someday, my procrastination will be cured.

Eh, I still procrastinate, but I'm usually spending that time also thinking of what to draw (indecision with this often plagues me)...

To exist or not exist, that is the query. For whether it is more optimal of the CPU to endure the viruses and spam of outragous fortune, or to something something something.

People here are suspiciously similar when it comes to some things
Maybe because we enjoy DF, but I know for sure that we on Bay 12 forum are like a big circus family. Not related, but we get along. We can also be kind of retarded, but it's a side effect of the internet.
My point being, there are more procastinators on the internet that sink their time in DF than you think

This is a masterpiece computer drawing. On it is da man.
Your lighting amazes me all the time. However, I'd like to suggest that you should work on the direction of your... pencil? ... brush?... whatever strokes. Random squiggles in the torch and the moon reflections detract. Or maybe it's impressionism? I'm not too good with art movements.

I have a problem with procrastination and myself.
For a long period of time I was doing basically nothing.
The last time I got stuff done, when my mother was yelling at me to do homework. Now she doesn't and I don't do homework anymore.
Then I realised that I was no one. Captain Nemo. A fly on the front window of life. And I've seen a lot of people challenging life to a deadly duel every single day. Can you explain why one of my friends studies 5 hours a day, and doodles pictures pretty much the rest of the day? I can't.
Then I had a mental breakdown that involved a lot of wangst.
I decided to get to work. It's actually harder than I thought. It could kinda work if computer didn't exist, and I had a longer attention span.
I can't sit for a minute to read a page of a textbook. That's bad.
It looks like this:
I read a quarter of the page, and then something compells me to go to youtube. I can't read a page of biology textbook without feeling uncomfortable. I can't complete a homework without thinking, that in the end nobody will check if I did it, or not.
I honestly need someone to shout at me. Currently that person is me.
And when I don't to even a half of the work I wanted, I feel awful.
Even going as far as thinking about stupid ideas like putting my life minute-to-minute schedule, and when I can't complete the tasks I somehow punish myself. It's currently in the concept territory, but I just might put it to use.

So how can I control my attention span? Honestly this morning I thought "No computer for entertainment purposes today!"
Guess what? I played DF for a couple of hours. Somebody slap me.

Reading you text is like looking into a mirror.

But it's not just with reading texts related to school (well I enjoyed them too, as long as I had interest in the subject (which isn't the case anymore, as there's nothing interesting anymore in my current school)).
In my former school and even in the beginning of my current school I tended to be quite a bookworm.
Reading books from 8 pm to 2 am was no rarity.

I really miss that.
It's just sad how educational systems can fuck up peoples lives.

It is a bit of a speedpaint, but yes that is a problem for me, for the most part only with the tablet...
