Practice

The act of turning admired potential into envied ability. Contrary to popular belief, practice does not make "perfect", it conversely makes "permenant".

semi-productive procrastination

(noun) what you do when you don't feel like working but aren't procrastinating either. instead, you're being semi-productive regarding what you should be doing. instead of doing your work, you're doing something related to it but completely unnecessary.

also: (verb) to semi-productively procrastinate.

also: (adj.) a semi-productive procrastinator.

DIFFERENT than productive procrastination because you're NOT being fully productive with random things other than your work, nor are you being fully productive with your actual job.
rather, you ARE being somewhat kinda productive towards what you should be doing (but aren't).

similar to quasimultislacking but not exactly.
friend: "i'm working on that current events assignment for tomorrow, how 'bout u?"
semi-productive procrastinator: "yeah me too! i've spent the past 20 minutes trying out different fonts."
friend: "that semi-productive procrastination will be the thing that brings your GPA down."

Proactivist

One who goes beyond talking of the problem to courageously, innovatively, positively solution-ing the problem.
Proactvists are the 2020 version of activists as they create new systemic containers for things to thrive. Activists stir the shit, Proactivists move us beyond the blame and shame game that perpetuates the concentric, angry, non-listening, divisive circle that often shackles us in the mess that we are in, to allow for new ideas to take hold, ease-full onramps for easy self enroll. Support small businesses and benefit companies that are proactively addressing the world’s biggest challenges with joy-filled solutions as a Proactivist.
