Past, Present & Future Authoring

I recently chanced upon a video about Jordan B. Peterson and was impressed by the way he carried himself and stayed cool in the face of Cathy's criticism. Intrigued, I decided to check out his websites and read a little about his self-authoring programme.  From a separate article , I discovered how the results of his ongoing experimental research showed that reflective writing about one's past, present and future improved student test scores and reduced dropout rates tremendously. In practical terms, even 15 minutes a day of reflective writing can be beneficial to a person's emotional state and well-being. Perhaps I shall test out the '15-minute-a-day writing' myself and see if it helps me. At the very least, it will curb my procrastination on my long-term writing goals.

Favourite Young Sheldon Quotes

Sheldon Cooper (narrative): My plan was coming together. I just needed to get on the shuttle so I could finally escape this ridiculous planet. Spoiler alert, I'm still here. ~~ Mary Cooper: George. You have to make an effort. Young boys who don't spend time with their daddies grow up to be oddballs. George Cooper Sr.: Honey, I hate to tell you, but that ball is already pretty odd. ~~ Dr. Hodges (NASA): You have to understand, Sheldon, that while your math is-is theoretically correct, we don't have the technical capability to execute it. Sheldon Cooper: So I'm ahead of my time? Dr. Hodges (NASA): Well... it would appear so. Sheldon Cooper: All right, call me when you catch up. ~~ Sheldon Cooper (to Tam): What I find interesting is how many supervillains are scientists. Doctor Octopus, Doctor Doom, Lex Luthor, Green Goblin, the list goes on and on. So if the world doesn't respect me, I might change sides. ~~
