The room smelled of musk and raspberry-flavored incense, mingling with the faint, salty tang of sweat and arousal. Black satin sheets draped the king-sized bed, rumpled from earlier teasing, and the sounds of soft music echoed off the walls. With an oddly designed speaker, adding pleasant noise to the room.</p><p>At the center stood Jax, a towering, muscular guy with a buzzed head and veins bulging like rivers on his arms. He was dressed to submit: pink sheer bra straining over his pecs, frilly white garter belt cinching his waist, and fishnet stockings hugging his thick thighs.

When I think about growth and building an audience, I always think about my favorite pop stars. Some pop stars explode onto the scene with a debut song or album, while others take years or decades before the masses discover their music.</p><p>I hate networking, and I&#8217;m not here to sell you the idea. But if you&#8217;re reading this, I&#8217;m almost certain you received or discovered my latest release thanks to a network. Maybe Google&#8217;s or Substack&#8217;s network. </p><p>Two years ago, I pulled up to a friend&#8217;s house in a U-Haul with just a few belongings. Months of stress had worn me out, and I had nowhere to go. I was grateful he allowed me to stay with him until I found a new apartment. A day or two after settling in, I checked my work email and found an invitation. It was an invitation to talk about American imperialism at a university&#8212;a paid gig. </p><p>That email found me at my lowest point. </p><p>I couldn&#8217;t imagine being on a panel talking to anyone at the time. I felt defeated, depressed, and angry. </p><p>Part of me was also annoyed. I was annoyed that the email came 6 years after I launched the most important grassroots project of my career. It felt like the opportunity arrived at the worst possible time. </p><p>Burnt out and unmotivated, I replied and agreed to participate anyway. </p><h3>Bandwidth &amp; Motivation </h3><p>In my last salaried job, my energy was split between my role in that job and managing my projects. When I told my mom I was so busy I had to pay to do my laundry, she told me it was a waste of money because I could do it myself.</p><p>I told her that while my clothes were being washed at the laundromat, it gave me time to shop for groceries or get a haircut&#8212;stuff I couldn&#8217;t do while stuck at my desk or while catching up on necessary zzzs.</p><p>Completing chores helped me keep up with my projects&#8212;even if I needed assistance. I need my living space and workspace to be organized so that I can do my best work.</p><p>That might not be your way of working and that&#8217;s totally fine. It works for me, so I prioritize it to increase my productivity and keep my mood high. I need a clean </p><h3>Fruits, Labor, &amp; Your Future Self</h3><p>Back to gardening&#8212;it takes time to grow something special. A part of that journey includes offering yourself grace and giving yourself adequate time to grow.</p><p>It feels like every few months, my workload grows and go back to the drawing board to reorganize my projects. Reorganizing often helps me make room for greater things. </p><div class="directMessage button" data-attrs="{&quot;userId&quot;:255257655,&quot;userName&quot;:&quot;Xavier&quot;,&quot;canDm&quot;:null,&quot;dmUpgradeOptions&quot;:null,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}" data-component-name="DirectMessageToDOM"></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why we can't focus.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Our attention spans are declining, and the problem is getting worse.]]></description><link>https://www.fvrrybvnny.com/p/why-we-cant-focus</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.fvrrybvnny.com/p/why-we-cant-focus</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bvnny]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 05 Dec 2024 22:13:50 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/youtube/w_728,c_limit/6QltxZ-vPMc" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="youtube2-6QltxZ-vPMc" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;6QltxZ-vPMc&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/6QltxZ-vPMc?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.fvrrybvnny.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Nightshade Diaries is a reader-supported publication with adult themes.
