Tips on Staying Productive

Ah productivity, my old nemesis.

It’s May – somehow – and with it comes the usual oh-my-god-I-graduated-nearly-a-year-ago panics.

Kant spoke of universal rules and while thou shall not steal or kill are pretty common, ‘thou shall not do your work till the last possible moment’ could also apply. The most difficult part of any project is simply starting, but when you hit a wall in terms of ideas or inspiration it can be hard to get back up again. Besides, life just gets in the way sometimes.
