 inefficient ones that are, have a catalogue of decisions waiting to be activated because they have not reached the start phase. They keep putting off the commencement; they are what I refer to as the gunners. “I’m gunner (going to start) tomorrow.” Or “ I’m gunner do it soon, but not now”. There is always a reason why it can’t be done now, but these reasons are not problems of the physical universe, the reasons are locked up in their psyche. They keep putting things off, procrastinating. The procrastinator has a head full of good intentions and ideas that never see the light of day. His environment is often cluttered with visible evidence of this shortcoming.
I will digress for a minute. I find myself thinking about my grandfather who lived with us for his final years. There was an incredible affinity between him and me; we would go window-shopping in hardware stores, even going to a church meeting, which bored me to tears, but I was still happy to accompany him. I remember coming home late from school one day. Where I went or what I did I do not remember, but getting home was not on my agenda and therefore was not very important.
I remember being met at the front gate by my sister with the abrupt greeting, “Grandpa is dead!” I was berated sometime later for not even crying, but getting home late from school became a pattern in my remaining school years.  In technical terms, I was procrastinating about the decision to start for home. This episode was the subject of a session some years ago when it became real to me that I was aware of his death while still at school that day and kept putting off going home to have the news of his passing confirmed.
The above paragraph is an example of how hidden influences effecting decisions and behaviour can lay dormant effecting everyday life.
This is the personality trait that drives a person to keep going no matter what the obstacles. It is the lack of perseverance that sees so many uncompleted tasks in some people’s environment. Visits to a friend many years ago is a good example of a lack of perseverance. On the first visit, I had to step over a vacuum cleaner on the floor. It was, what is now an old- fashioned horizontal cylinder type and that is why I had to step over it.
When I visited several days later I was confronted with the same routine of stepping over the vacuum cleaner in exactly the same position. The wife, a lovely person, but now deceased, allows me to use the incident to emphasise the effects of lacking the perseverance to complete tasks. She just could not persevere to complete things she had started.
This aspect of activities is more important than is perhaps realised and ties in with perseverance. In a nutshell, if you do not know you have finished a task, the tendency will be there to keep persevering until frustration or some similar emotion takes hold. A true-life experience will demonstrate this. I was taken to visit an artist and during the visit, I was shown an array of partly completed paintings, all in a variety of stages of not being a completed product. The reasons/and or justifications for their being so many unfinished works were numerous, but behind this was the inability to persevere to completion and then recognise the fact.
Another aspect of this is an artist who is continually touching up painting because they are not satisfied with it. You could label such an artist as a perfectionist, maybe he is, but basically he is unable to complete an action. The optimum routine for a productive life is to recognise that you have completed a task or project, then, perhaps experience the satisfaction of having done so, before thinking about doing something else.
Work-related stress has become such a commonly accepted concept for many working...
Personal productivity is the key to wellbeing, self-worth and contentment....It's called nodding off.  It's probably not an OD, but could be leading into one.

A 911 response is probably unlikely, that's for unresponsive ODs mostly, but it doesn't hurt to try if you are concerned.

Signs of an OD from the govt:


- Not moving and can’t be woken

- Slow, shallow breathing or not breathing

- Blue lips and nails

- Person may be choking, making gurgling sounds, or snoring

- Cold, clammy skin

- Pupils are tiny

Naloxone kits are free and easy to use if you want the option.  You have about 4 minutes from cessation of breathing to bad news time.Last month, Electronic Arts announced a new 5v5 competitive mode for Battlefield 1 called Incursions, a smaller, more intensely-focused take on the game in which "only the sharpest strategic teams will rise to the top." In a blog post that went up today, DICE producer David Sirland revealed more about what's in store for players in the closed alpha test, which will get underway tomorrow.
The details are still being hammered out, but vehicles will continue to figure in the new mode, as will "using destruction as a tactic," Sirland said. "Though you’ll experience a more compact scale in the 5-versus-5 matches of the Battlefield 1 Incursions Closed Alpha, it takes place within a bigger theater of war with the aforementioned, iconic gameplay elements in place."
EA also clearly wants to establish Battlefield 1 as a presence in the pro scene: Sirland said that Incursions matches should be exciting for players and spectators alike, with "top-notch support in place for those casting matches." Closed alpha players will do battle on a "scaled-down" version of the Giant's Shadow map with a Light Tank and Armored Car vehicles, and stats and results from the closed alpha will be shared with the community to enable players and developers to "extend their experiences," he added. "The goal is to fulfill the needs of players, casters, and organizers."
Unfortunately for anyone who hasn't yet signed up to take part, it's too late now: Registrations closed on August 26. On the upside, Sirland said that "more opportunities to enjoy this competitive experience will come your way" in the future.
