The Tabs Don’t Lie

I had 14 browser tabs open.

Not because I was multitasking.
Because I was avoiding starting.

One tab was research.
Another was my calendar.
A third? A playlist to “set the mood.”

It looked like work.
Felt like prep.
But really? It was a stall.

Sometimes productivity isn’t about better tools.
It’s about noticing when you’re using the tools to hide.

Close the tabs.
Pick the task.
Begin.
