How To See The Next Step Ahead
How to see the next step ahead

Motivation by itself gives us the willingness to do something, but nothing more. Once we make a start, the game changes and it becomes about knowing how to make progress.
Knowing how to make progress and making progress are two different things, but we often conflate them and treat them as the same thing. We basically jump into the task and start. Only, it’s not really starting because we’re repeatedly stopping to think about design, architecture, security, how it will look, how it will work, which database to use. The list goes on.
But knowing how to make progress before you start is important. Before you start your next task, complete the following in as much detail as possible:
Describe exactly what the new [feature/bug/thing] will do
Describe exactly how it will do it, giving as much technical detail as you can think of now
If it has a visual element, quickly sketch out how it’ll look
If you can do this before you start, you’ll have a good idea of:
What you’re doing and what the definition of complete is
What to add (or what to change) in order to make it happen
Roughly how it looks or feels, which often clarifies details of the point above

Hi everyone,
I thought I would share this interesting Infograph about ASD I found on Pinterest. I found this very fascinating so I hope you all do too.

Autistic Burnout 🧩🔥
Reminders I need sometimes:
You are not causing world hunger if you throw out the lettuce you forgot about, you don't need to feel guilty.
Your followers are not going to die if you don't update your blog or fanfics, you are not their sole source of happiness.
Drinking bottled water might be bad for the environment, but it's also bad if you forget to drink & you get dehydrated.
Eating junk food is better than not eating at all.
Eating cereal for dinner is better than not eating at all.
Writing in your journal/going to therapy/meditating once a month is better than not doing it all.
You're allowed to mask if you need or want to. Masking is not a moral failing.
Other people aren't relying solely on you to cheer them up or to make them feel welcome. If you don't have energy to take care of people today, there are other places and people they can turn to for help. You don't have to take care of everyone.
Your feelings are separate from anyone else's. You can be sad when other people are happy, and happy when other people are sad.
You're allowed to have happy moments during a hard week. That doesn't mean the week hasn't been hard, and it doesn't mean that you're faking happiness. Your feelings can change from minute to minute.
So I made a new survival world and uhh...
Now I only ever play on custom superflat worlds to build stuff, so I might've missed some terrain generation updates...
(See this for what happened (it was a mod unrelated to world generation))

It was pure love - "pure" not as the opposite of filthy, but pure in the sense that pure uranium is pure. Not tarnished by thoughts of resentment or distrust, but also not dilluted nor watered down by things like common sense. Perhaps twinged slightly with pure madness, though that may have just been covergent evolution. They fill the same niche, after all.
Always keep and row, row to where the heart you takes, ask your soul for clues
curious. anyway,
So frustrating when you have so much to say but aren’t articulate enough to get it across. Like I want this to sound poetic but here i am rambling bs
"I am confusion"
