productive procrastination?

Always been a 'delayer'. Always wait till last minute to deliver, and I always thought that's when my creativity and best thinking flourished. I am now 39 and have realised how detrimental this has been for me.

I've now had the awakening of how much better the outcome is after longer and better paced fragments of work is, but also the painful realisation that this way of doing things has been only hampering my ability to build healthier and better habits.

In my search for better ways, but also true to my procrastination (I have really meaty projects at hand but I keep building interesting things that spark my curiosity and keep me engaged), I've built a tool to help me do the things I know I have to do: File my company's taxes. Study for the bloody driving test. Clean up the basement. Do another run of outreach at the prospects in the new market. It's endles, but it only gets larger and larger the more I postpone stuff.

it's basically a self deprecating but empathetic app, that I hope it will keep me on the right track. You can try it at dontkillmog.com , it's free and public. All the feedback very welcome (for life and the app)

Stay on it, show up, and do the thing.

belayers you can trust

hi all! I am a new/ish climber based in London.

I frequently hear people struggling to find belayers to go outside and I feel the pain myself, in a city that has so many people coming and going, but fundamentally because I struggle trusting people's skills and safety procedures unless I get some evidence or they are really vouched for. And if I don't trust them, I will hate the session, or at least the first half of it for sure.

With the help of friends I built https://itsajug.com, and we'd would love for people around the world to try it and help us improve!

We also know that for women, there are added risks and friction points, that we'd like to acknowledge and help supporting. This will be only as good as the community using it.

There's a small feedback icon on the bottom right section so you can submit your feedback. What are we missing, what have we gotten wrong? We would REALLY appreciate your ideas and comments.

Thank you!
