semi-related I don't understand the appeal of the martini glass, it's like it was invented to maximize spillage

by the time there's a comfortable margin between the drink level and the top of the glass you're like half done with it

thread, i need some help. i am paralyzed and cannot make myself turn and use my music making PC. it would take all of three minutes to do this, and I have a couple things I want to do on there that aren't directly music-making, including exporting an old song and dumping an image file to update my forums avatar.

but i have a lot of Psychology going on around music-making rn! i am trying to be better at accepting my winter hibernation, and i feel the feelings that mean i'll be making music again soon, and if that could even be today? i'd love that! but i can't bring myself to turn the loving pc on and just sit down and accept being rusty and feeling apprehension and do the thing. I am technically on the clock for about 3.5 more hours, but after that i'd like to just head up to the office, turn on the music machine, and do a few things, maybe noodle around in the ole music software for the first time in literal months. even typing this i feel anxiety in my stomach. i could use some help.

not a silver bullet but sometimes if I'm feeling unmotivated to make new music i listen to old sort of sketches I've made and see if there's a phrase or rhythm i like that i never fleshed out and see if i can finish it.

lol between this and the suggestion of a treat (I’m going to buy myself a forums avi) and the feeling of humiliation that Shia LeBoof maybe had a point or two worth considering I may have a plan.

I will get done with my meeting, and put on outside clothes, and walk around listening to some old material, and come home and turn that fucker on, and then report back to the thread and if I failed I will accept my humiliation.

The martini glass is fine because it's almost never filled to capacity to begin with. The real bitch is the coupé glass, too small to hold the drink so you're leaving some in the shaker regardless of what it is

Anxiety loving sucks.

What sometimes works for me (and may or may not work for you) is to set tiny goals, like not "I AM GOING TO MAKE A MUSIC NOW gently caress MY BRAIN", but "I am going to turn on the music computer AND THAT IS IT". Then "I am going to noodle around with the music software." and then "I am going to lose patience with myself and drat well make some music no matter what my brain is telling me." (that last one is more implied).

This works pretty well. Once you get started it's not so bad. "I'm going to the gym and you can't stop me, me."
