Interesting to read your procrastination loop. I suffer from a similar inability to concentrate. Right now I'm scrolling through your Substack and listening to experimental rap music instead of working my assignment that's due in 2 hours. I start adderall next week, hopefully that'll cure me.
From my experience, Adderall might give you better concentration for the 2-4 hours while you're on it, but you'll have worse concentration and mood the rest of the time.
Hilarious and so on point. I loved the repeated self-imposed threat of "or else" and the googling of ones name alongside other favouite authors. hahahaha
I think this is brilliant!
I remember back then doing a lot of googling of people’s names too.

Haha this was pretty good. I tend to spend most of the time asking Google why I can't write or watching videos about how to write.
"59. realize that the music i have on is getting annoying
60. turn off the music
61. feel really agitated and hopeless"
This is my current mood. Thanks.
What music are you listening these days, Tao Lin? I would love to hear some of your fav songs, what about a playlist?
I wonder what the pre-internet version looks like
