Back in May, Mark wrote about
a Kickstarter project to fund a mobile app that will help you locate
the hidden entrances to Malibu’s public beaches, which the local rich
and famous people have done everything they can to obscure (including
putting up illegal fake signs that falsely declare passage to be
trespassing).
The Kickstarter was fully funded and the app is out, and the public is
finding its way to Malibu’s public beaches, which is great news –
unless you’re one of those people who’s spent decades treating a public
beach as your own private patch. Local residents are pissed:
I just heard this woman say “you procrastinate because you are afraid of rejection. It’s a defense mechanism, you are trying to protect yourself without even trying.” and I think I just realized what was wrong with me.
Yep, this is a very, very common reason for procrastinating. It’s also why procrastination, even though it’s often associated with laziness, is a fairly common trait in a lot of people with anxiety and perfectionism issues.
i love hotels. when i walk through hotel hallways with their quiet walls and flat carpets and the smell of the chlorine from the pool i transcend space and time and find peace.
