Let me be clear (a thread):

Those "all over the place" feelings you've been having? They are symptoms of stress, NOT personal failures of yours.

Do you feel FLAKEY + INCONSISTENT? That's b/c your brain doesn't know what news to brace for next, or what next month will hold.

I wrote this story about Takaya the wolf a few weeks ago. Tonight I was called by a conservation officer who confirmed Takaya’s story has ended - killed by a trophy hunter on Tuesday. /via @globeandmail https://t.co/959asMWTM1

Academic peeps: I've lived through many disasters. Here is my advice on "productivity". First, play the long game. Your peers who are trying to work as normal right now are going to burn out fast. They're doomed. Make a plan with a longer vision. /1
