Procrastination

I’m 42 years old and I have a problem. Time just…slips away from me. I’ll sit down at my computer meaning to get some writing done, and hours later there are still no words and I don’t really know why. When kids come to school late and tell me they overslept but they don’t know

Needed: Less Faith in an Unfaithful Brain
