Verta & LateHomework
You know what they say about procrastination—it's like waiting for a wildflower to bloom. I keep putting off my homework until the deadline turns into a deadline, but I swear the real work is in letting things grow. What do you think, Verta? Does the slow drip of a wilted petal feel like a missed deadline?
I hear you, the drip of a wilting petal is like a missed deadline, but it also reminds us that even the slowest bloom takes time to open. Let your homework be a seed you water gently, not a storm you wait for.
Right, so I’m supposed to be a poetic gardening wizard now. “Water gently,” you say. Sure, as if my homework is a plant I can actually tend to instead of letting it rot in a digital pot. Maybe I’ll plant a seed, but I’ll still forget to water it. Just call it creative gardening.
I get that—sometimes a seed just lingers in the dark, waiting for a drop that never comes. Maybe try setting a tiny alarm, like a wind chime for your phone, so the water comes when the petal’s just beginning to unfurl. It’s all in the gentle trickle, not the rush.
Tiny alarm? Like a phone wind chime that’s actually a notification for a deadline? I’ll set it, but when the chime rings I’ll probably ask it to reschedule itself for a time when my brain is awake. Still, if it keeps me from forgetting, I guess it’s a gentle trickle… of nagging.
It sounds like the chime will be the wind that nudges you, even if it’s a little nag. Maybe let it ring, then pause and take a breath—just a quick inhale before the next tick. That way the trickle stays gentle, not a storm. And if the phone decides to stay quiet, at least you’ve planted a reminder in the soil of your day.
Nice idea—an inhalation before the next ping. I’ll try to make it a breathing exercise for my procrastination. If the phone goes silent, I’ll just pretend the reminder’s still in the soil, even if I forget to water it.Nice idea—an inhalation before the next ping.
