Arguing with myself

I have an idea for a discussion. That is good, I guess.
If I write that discussion tonight, then I will have to think of something else to write tomorrow, and I am lazy.
If I write that discussion tonight, I will have more notifications, and as I said, I am lazy.
If I do not write that discussion tonight, will it still be a fresh idea tomorrow? Will I even remember it tomorrow?
Easy enough, I should write it down. But I am lazy.
I spend an awful lot of my energy arguing with myself. I think I will write it tomorrow though.

I totally understand. Sometimes I think of something I really want to write about on myLot, then question whether I really want to babysit a discussion here with some people only wanting to say something to get me on their discussions... and decide a discussion just isn't worth it to me. I talk with most people here but avoid a few. *shrug*7 people like this

I know I usually see you around on my discussions and I appreciate it. I like being here and even responding in my discussions, but then again, I have a lot of things I should be doing, like napping.

@GardenGerty I talk with people that interest me or when someone is having difficulty with technology...
Naps are always good and should really be considered before most other things.

You sound like me sometimes I feel I should get something posted but then get sidetracked and put it aside. I was so frustrating today I was posting to Vocal Media and the information could not be saved, Now I have to redo it all gain tomorrow and hope it gets submitted,

@GardenGerty you should take a look. If you write up on Vocal Media premium you get to not only make money posting articles but also taking part in all kinds of challenges where prizes can be as high as $1000 for first place. I will PM you the link to me on Vocal Media and you can take a look at what the site is all about,

@RasmaSandra I saw the link right away. I am going to rest my brain a bit and explore some more. It would be nice to have another stream of income that is not survey based.

I would say 75% better. Saw my primary care today, she poked around inside my mouth and confirms that the rapid response to the antibiotics confirms it is bacterial not viral and I am not contagious.

I am constantly writing down ideas in a book that I have. Getting to actually writing the Discussion is another matter though because most of them require doing some research; and lately I've been lazy! lololol

I used to put ideas in a book, just to catch them. Mostly I do not research as that would be too much work.

@marlina It is winter, we should hibernate like bears, or semi hibernate, like squirrels, just cozy away until spring.

I like to binge read people, or stalk them and comment. I do not think I ever open a discussion without trying to make a good comment. I have been mentally unwell for a few weeks, probably this infection coming on and it has felt hard to interact.

Well, I did write it, since a nap was eluding me. I presented some possibilities, let us say.

I have even been dreaming about stuff. Often I forget those too, or they would not make sense if I tried to talk about them.

I never seemed too bothered about timing. With people I like to follow I will sometimes binge and go to several of their discussions at once.

I certainly had fun posting this and it let me save my other discussion for today. I knew I would be busy today so I needed something in reserve.

@GardenGerty There are some days when I am really wordy and when that happens, I will write offline and post another day. Glad it all worked out for you.

I think some of that has happened to me as well. Sometimes I have over committed and posted too many at one time and they were not the quality I wanted. This was a fun way to write this post as I had been unwell and was feeling better finally.

Yes, there is little point in feeling upset about it.

If I had to write down the idea now in small notes, if I put it off until tomorrow I would definitely forget it.

Well in this case it was something I am curious about. So I did write it. I will hope it was worthwhile to write.

I will frequently forget good discussion topics, but I never write them down because invariably they will pop back into my head again.

It can be so tempting to just wait until tomorrow. I argue with myself at times, too.

Waiting worked, this time. I knew that the time of day I would usually be here I would be gone, so I wanted an idea in reserve.
