• Who am I?

    I am Qrystal, a physics grad student who enjoys writing: for herself, or to help other people learn things. When I am done my degree, I'll finally be able to allow myself to start following my desire to write and tutor and spread my joy of understanding physics.

  • Minimize Commitments, but Still Fail

    Procrastinators often follow exactly the wrong tack. They try to minimize their commitments, assuming that if they have only a few things to do, they will quit procrastinating and get them done. But this goes contrary to the basic nature of the procrastinator…

    I’m suspecting that this is part of my problem:  I have minimized my to-do list to the point where everything on it is *really* important.  Maybe phil.gs is right, and I need to try some Structured Procrastination in order to get past the block.  Thanks, dude.
