Stress

Stress is my mortal enemy. …Well, stress and woodpeckers, but the former occurs far more frequently than the latter.

Writing Techniques: Multitasking

I’m going to admit this straight up; I cannot multitask. It is a persistent challenge for me. I also don’t know how people can multitask. I’m not talking about multitasking in everyday life.
