On Friday I& #39;m giving a (virtual) talk at a mini annual conf we hold for our customers. I& #39;m still polishing slides & only have a rough content outline drafted.

And I& #39;m totally, 100% comfortable with this.

If it were a tech conf, I& #39;d have it memorized down to the cadence by now.

I don& #39;t exactly know why my brain tolerates one approach for a customer-facing, all-company-hands-on-deck session but requires a totally different approach for a session at an industry conference.

Would be nice to figure out though!

I suppose it could be the effect of Covid stress.

Like, we& #39;re staring down a massive health and financial calamity during a recurrence of fascism, so maybe I& #39;m too burnt out to get too worked up over a simple conference talk?

Dunno. It& #39;s weird.

Both scenarios have one thing in common though: frequent Twitter procrastination breaks.

Hence this thread.
