• 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.

    The sound of ticking
    reminds that time is passing.
    Make it meaningful!

    One of the things that saps my productivity is the amount of time wasted in random meandering before I start work for the day. Today, I’ve set up this ticking clock sound to remind me not to let that happen. I have to keep turning up the volume to make sure it doesn’t fade into my subconscious…

    I originally got this “tick-tock” audio clip from free-loops.com but I had to  translate it to mp3 and duplicate the ticks a few times for posting here. Yes, I realize this little project is rather anti-productive, but it’s part of who I am and I have embraced it. And now, on to my workday!
