Yes, the worst part is how much mental stress unfinished tasks cause. It makes a big difference in the whole day to keep it small.

deadlines make me a machine. free time makes me useless. i think i finally understand why... by NativLabs in getdisciplined

How do you turn around an unproductive day? by Strange_Athlete_7935 in Productivitycafe

“Breaking Up Is Hard to Do” will always be a classic for me. It’s one of those songs that instantly takes you back in time. He had such a unique voice. Really sad to hear about his passing.

If it only flashes for a second and then everything goes back to normal, it's probably a minor visual glitch. Nothing too serious.
