“Worn out by suffering, we lie on our great backs,
tossing grass up to heaven—as a distraction, not a prayer.

That’s not humility you see on our long final journeys
it’s procrastination. It hurts my heavy body to lie down.

— Dan Chiasson, from “The Elephant,” Natural History. (Knopf; First edition. edition October 11, 2005)”

James Clear, Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones

“Despite what the words "attention deficit" imply, ADHD is not a deficit of attention, but rather a challenge of regulating it at will or on demand.”
