Productivity Overdrive

March 2, 2023 by Drunk Pilot

Are you ready to kick your productivity into high gear? Look no further than Productivity Overdrive – the turbo boost your to-do list needs to get it into fifth gear and leave procrastination in the dust.

Productivity Overdrive

Driving a stick shift, a skill we all possess

But when was the last time we used it, I confess

We’re all writers at heart, crafting our art

Analogies and flow, it’s all a part

Productivity Overdrive, a term

I invented But it’s not really important, just try to be content

It’s flow, that feeling when words flow out

Like running ten miles without a doubt

Or starting a doodle and finishing it too

All without noticing, now that’s something new

To get to this flow, we must switch gears

From low to high, it’s all in our fears

First gear is the hardest, but it gets us going

It won’t take us far, but it’s the start of the showing

Writing just 250 words a day may seem small

But it’s the gateway to flow, and that’s all

The five-second rule can help us get started

Counting backwards from five, it’s not too complicated

Once we’re rolling, we must keep the momentum going

Deadlines and schedules, we must keep them showing

Third gear is where we find our groove

Optimizing our time, we must constantly improve

Fourth gear is when we pick up speed

And finally in fifth, we reach our max indeed

But don’t get stuck in any one gear

Keep switching and adapting, it’s all very clear

Productivity Overdrive, a state we all crave

But it’s the journey to get there, that we must savor and save

The Pitfalls

It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of productivity overdrive, always striving for more, faster, better. But we must also remember to take a step back and ask ourselves: what are we truly trying to accomplish?

Are we prioritizing quantity over quality, or sacrificing our well-being for the sake of productivity?

By finding a healthy balance and redefining what it means to be productive, we can achieve our goals without burning out in the process. So let’s shift out of overdrive and into a more sustainable gear, and enjoy the ride.

Thin Slizzy: The Collingwood Pizza That’s Got More Bite Than Mick Jagger

June 21, 2023February 28, 2023 by Drunk Pilot

Let me tell you about the Thin Slizzy Pizzeria & Bar. It’s a bloody good joint! I stumbled in there the other night after a long day of flying, and I was looking for some good grub and a cold one to wash it down with. And boy, did they deliver!

The atmosphere at Thin Slizzy was electric! It was packed with people having a good time, and the staff were all friendly and helpful. I grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered myself a Melbourne Bitter, and that’s when I met Scotty, the owner. He was a top bloke! We got to chatting, and he told me all about the neighborhood of Collingwood.

Apparently, it used to be a bit of a rough place back in the day, but it’s been gentrified over the years. These days, it’s full of hipsters and young professionals, but it still retains some of its edgy charm. There are some great street art and graffiti around, and the local music scene is thriving.

But let’s get back to the pizza. I ordered two of them because I was starving, and they were both bloody delicious! The MEATALLICA was loaded with all sorts of meaty goodness, and the NAPOLETANA had just the right amount of salty tanginess from the anchovies and olives. And the crust? It was thin and crispy, just the way I like it. Biting into Thin Slizzy it really shows her lack of curves. F*cking delicious.

Now, I have to admit, after a few more Melbourne Bitters, my imaginary monkey friend decided to make an appearance. He was a cheeky bugger, kept trying to steal my pizza! But the staff didn’t seem to mind. They even offered him a slice, which he promptly scarfed down. We all had a good laugh, and it made for a memorable night.

Overall, I’d say Thin Slizzy Pizzeria & Bar is definitely worth a visit. The food is top-notch, the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is lively. And if you happen to have an imaginary monkey friend, bring them along too!

Broken Pieces…

February 26, 2023 by Drunk Pilot

Today we’re taking flight with a poetic masterpiece that will leave you breathless – Broken Pieces.

This heart-wrenching poem tells the story of a love triangle gone wrong, as Jane finds her heart shattered into a million pieces by a heartless love interest. But don’t be fooled by the title – Broken Pieces is not just a tale of sorrow and despair. It’s a witty and exciting journey that will have you laughing and crying in equal measure. So fasten your seatbelts and hold on tight, as we take a turbulent ride through the ups and downs of love and heartbreak.

This poem is not for the faint of heart, but for those brave enough to face the broken pieces, the reward is a journey through the depths of human emotion and the triumph of the human spirit. Are you ready to take the plunge? Then let’s soar into the wild blue yonder together!

Broken Pieces

Up in the sky, flying high with my monkey friend
Over the beautiful island of Tahiti we pretend

We used to sit on the bench of my village school
You’d tell me, Jane, ‘you’re beautiful,’ oh so cool

You always took care of me
I was proud to be with you, you see

But then one day a new girl came to school
You looked at her like a fool

You rented out your heart and didn’t pay the rent
Ignored all the signals I sent

It was as if you’d never seen a girl before
With her curves and curls, she showed such attitude and more

You made her your destiny
I’m no lawyer, so I couldn’t fight for me

You broke my heart into tiny pieces
I don’t like these kinds of heartless species

Ah, broken pieces. How fascinating they are. Like a shattered mirror, each fragment reveals a distorted reflection of the whole. But if we focus too much on the pieces, we risk losing sight of the bigger picture. Perhaps it is not the heart that is broken, but our perception of love that is shattered into a million fragments. And just like with a broken mirror, we have the power to pick up the pieces and create a new, more beautiful image. So let us not lament over the broken pieces, but instead embrace the opportunity to create something new and magnificent.
