A vampire clan migrated to a new city, planning to take it over and rule it from the shadows. Then they saw the humans carving cutlery and toys for the young from vampire bones, and laugh at the ones they left alive…hanged on the streets, left to flail helplessly while the sun burns them.
A bunch of things have been said in that David Allen book about natural planning and how reverse planning may get you stuck.
However, I've found that adjusting purpose is the best way to get me to "finish" things. By that I mean, shift focus away from finishing. Ironic, since the book is literally called Getting Things Done.
Generally, when doing stuff, we default to want to finish the thing it is we're doing. If it's the dishes, or scrubbing the floor, or making the bed, this is fine. Same with the corporate environment I guess the book GTD was written about.
But for things like watching shows, reading books, you simply cannot have your purpose be "finish." Why? Because Tv shows, movies, and books are longer in scope and more complex than chores, and even those are a tossup on whether you'll do them.
So, what do you do? Adjust your reason or purpose for engaging. This goes for writing and art as well. If you go into a show like "Let's watch the whole thing" or into writing like "let's write a novel", unless you curb your enthusiasm and set a better goal, you'll drop it. 100%
So how do you ensure you'll engage? Take the goal and make it small, or word it as a process, not a finish line:
Okay, you know what? I'm rereading this after reading Stolen Focus, by Johann Hari, and I was was being kind of a painted cunt, or a wanker, if you want to be more polite.
It sort of strikes me now as the same sort of cluelessness as people who say they have a black friend, or that they don't see color. That's nice, Peter, but there's systemic issues at hand you're deliberately ignoring.
If you see this randomly, please do me a favor and bear with me for a little bit. I've recently read Stolen Focus, and you may say whatever you want about that book, but if you are struggling to focus in your daily life, you are not alone, and with surveillance capitalism, the very design of social media apps, the long work hours, not letting children play, having no time to stop at all be it at work, in your life, or at any point in your education.
Your focus, or lack thereof, is not your fault. It is being attacked.
If you want to look up his book but don't have the budget? Look up Ann*-a's Ar*-chive and download it there. Here's his Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmZ04Db1f5NZivmCIayplmQ
If you go in, you can see most of his videos are very niche.
Finally, if you somehow do read this, I just feel a bit like I should share this. And if you need to somehow have it be imprinted into you that I'm not punking you (very fair concern; this be the Internet high seas, after all): here are a few words.
I am young, not a teen anymore, but very recently not one. I was depressed for most of my teenage years, and until very recently, immensely chastised myself. I looked for ways to be happier, but never addressed my environment. Never.
I thought I had to get better to mold to my environment. Then I found ADHD and autism as very plausible explanations for my life problems. And maybe they do play a role, but I want to be very cautious with one point: they don't have to be.
Of course, they will present signficant problems eventually, but if you're at all familiar with the societal model of disability or just late-capitalism and neoliberalism and their thwarted designs and hellish precepts, it can be made endlessly worse by assuming everyone is the same.
If nothing else, get that book, try to listen, know that your waning focus is less a fault within you and often the environment has as big an impact on yourself as genetic factors (there's a whole branch of science on this; epigenetics!) So I want to be very clear, and I will put this on all caps in case you need that for focus (no shame here)
YOUR INABILITY TO FOCUS ISN'T A YOU PROBLEM, IT'S AN US PROBLEM; AND WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
ALSO, LOOK UP JOHANN HARI, STOLEN FOCUS.

My name is Saja. I’m a wife, a mother, and a woman who once believed her story would be simple. I thought my days would be filled with watching my daughter grow — from her first smile to her first steps — surrounded by the small joys of everyday life.
But life had other plans.
War has returned to our home. Again.
And once again, we find ourselves living under skies that never seem to rest.
There was a moment — a fragile, breathless moment — when the bombs paused and the world seemed to remember us. It gave us hope. We thought maybe, just maybe, we could start to rebuild. But now, we are back in the dark — hiding, holding on, praying.
I’m writing this not as someone seeking pity, but as a mother who has no other choice but to speak.
Imagine holding your baby in the middle of the night, not because she cried, but because the world outside roared too loud for either of you to sleep. Imagine whispering bedtime stories not to lull her into dreams, but to keep the fear from settling into her tiny bones.
This is my life.
This is my daughter’s life.
And even now — especially now — I believe in softness. I believe in kindness.
Because when everything else is taken from you, hope becomes the most valuable thing you have.
Why I’m Reaching Out
Our home has been damaged. Our lives changed. But through it all, my daughter wakes up every morning with a smile. She reaches for me with trust, with love, with faith that I will keep her safe.
That’s why I keep going.
I’ve launched a campaign to ask for help — not because it’s easy, but because silence is no longer an option. I am asking for support not just for me, but for my baby, and for the quiet strength of so many mothers like me who are fighting, every single day, to hold their families together.
How You Can Help:
🤍 Help us restore parts of our home so we can live with dignity
🤍 Support women and mothers in Gaza with access to care and resources
🤍 Keep the light of hope alive for a generation born in the shadows of war
💛 If you can, please support our journey here:
My name is Saja. I am a wife, a mother to a precious 8-month-old girl, and I am writing this in a moment that I wish I didn’t have to live t
If you can’t give, please consider sharing.
Your voice might be the reason someone else hears ours.
From My Heart to Yours
Maybe our lives are worlds apart. Maybe you’ve never lived through war.
But if you’ve ever held a child and wished the world could be better for them — then you understand more than you know.
I don’t want my daughter to grow up thinking the world turned away.
Please, if you’ve read this far — thank you.
Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for caring.
We are still here. Still hoping. Still holding on to every kind act like it’s a lifeline.

u know that reminds me of this tweet going around making fun of dark mode users like 'haha do you guys need your books on dark paper' and it's like yeah some people can't read text printed on white paper? regular books aren't accessible to some people for that reason. whats the joke.
source: used to work for a company that produced large print documents and one of the services we provided was putting documents onto different coloured paper for people who couldn't read black on white 👍
My mom is very dyslexic and has always had a really really hard time with reading, especially black text on white paper. When she went back to college to get her degree, she found that using a colored transparent folder (she says that highlighter yellow and greens worked best for her) over a printed paper helped her distinguish words a LOT easier!! Of course, this may not work for everyone, but it helped her a lot!! She says it's the only way she was able to pass her ethics class :]
For anyone who read this and went "Hang on, that sounds handy..." - they sell things especially for that. Look up "Dyslexia overlays" - some are A4 sized full sheets, some are a small piece with a guide line:
Usually a few quid for a pack of various colours, so they're relatively easy to get hold of if you don't already have coloured folders to cut up and use.

Name: Dedra Meero
Played by: Denise Gough
Appearances: Aldhani, The Axe Forgets, The Eye, Announcement, Narkina 5, Nobody's Listening!, One Way Out, Daughter of Ferrix, Rix Road
Happy Friday gang! This week's character is not a woman in a man's world, but a-- well, you know the line by now. She's the sneer queen, she's the worst person you know, she's so much fun to watch even though she's doing very very bad things. She's Dedra Meero.
Tell me what you appreciate about Dedra in a reblog, comment, or ask!
I love Dedra so much. I feel like if Tony Gilroy had studied me in a lab and tried to concoct a character I would become obsessed with, he could not have done a better job than he did with Dedra. I don't really have much that's new or coherent to say, but I'm going to make a numbered list anyway, because this is the internet:
1. She's an outsider trying to navigate a place that comes with a whole bunch of unspoken "rules" using the official regulations: You can see this when she first goes to ask Blevin for his Ferrix report. She alleges she has jurisdiction, and Blevin doesn't bother to argue- he just makes a jab about her career aspirations. Likewise, Partagaz doesn't ever deny that she has jurisdiction- the question is irrelevant, and what matters is that she stops making things difficult. This is super-relatable to me- I don't headcanon Dedra as autistic, but this is basically the quintessential autistic experience.
2. She's so good at what she does: I don't need to justify this. If you're reading this, you've seen the show.
3. She's so alone, and so lonely: I think the moment I was doomed to be obsessed with her (and her potential disaster of a relationship with Syril) was when I read that Denise Gough quote about how she's "never been touched". Also, she doesn't really have any friends- I'm a big fan of her dynamic with Heert and the way she shows him at least a sliver of vulnerability in admitting she doesn't know what she's doing, but their relationship is all work based. I can't imagine them talking about their dating lives or what's on the holovision or, idk, melodeons.
4. She's such a nerd (affectionate): she's memorised the ISB handbook! She spends hours raking her bonsai tree! You can tell, from the way she looks at the Coruscant skyline introduction, that she loves the city she's ended up in.
5. She's flawless on the outside, but I will maintain forever that she's ever so slightly chaotic: Dedra wears her uniform better than anyone else in the ISB, but her many datapads are n a messy pile on her desk and her quarterly reports are late enough that Partagaz is annoyed about it.
6. She's done terrible things: I'm sure that all of the above are true of some characters who aren't war criminals, but I can never truly love a character who hasn't committed some war crimes. I've spent too long trying to figure out why this is, and I think it's the way it compounds the loneliness of it all. A hero character can have no friends, but at the end of the day the narrative and the viewer are are their side, right? Most stories end happily, so you know the hero will end up happy- and even if they don't, their sacrifice will have been worth something. Cassian dies for "a sunset he'll never see", but that sunset will come. In contrast, Dedra sacrifices her entire life for the Empire, but we know all along that her sacrifice is meaningless. Whatever she does, in a few years the sun will rise on a galaxy where the Empire no longer stands.
You’re the villain in a prophecy—but the hero hasn't shown up. Years pass, the world waits, and you slowly start building the kingdom you were supposed to destroy
This is so good. Because it sort of implies the villain is the hero as well. Maybe he builds the kingdom, if only to then turn around and destroy it once he's overthrown as its acting king or maybe premier, first minister or president-lite.

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.
