You need a break; it’s good for you. Come check out this month’s procrastination destination all about fire with cool forges, fire science, roasting marshmallows, the Fire Nation, and a kid experiment!
Let’s start off with an ad for barbells. Huh? Yes, Rogue Fitness makes barbells and this process is filmed gorgeously, with lots and lots of fire!
But what is fire? Here’s a one-minute explanation:
Let’s go a little deeper. “Without fire, you and I would be nothing today.” In this well-done article, Vox explains why fire was key to human development, what the science is behind fire, how to build the best campfire, health and pollution of fire, and even why marshmallows catch fire.
Did you know there is a game about fighting fires? Flashpoint is a cooperative game (think Pandemic or Forbidden Island) where everyone has to save the day.
OMG! It’s the cutest little flame you need to crochet. The pattern can be found here.

Now get back to work!
Rebecca Angel
Rebecca Angel was one of those kids that put the dragon book on top of her pile in the hopes that someone would say, "Hey, I'm into that stuff too!" Alas, she had to wait until she was an adult to find fellow geeks. Luckily, she married one and their kids are too. A music teacher by day, Rebecca is also a lover of tea, science literacy, funky tights, RPGs, anime, manga, comics, fantasy books and movies.
Talking about procrastination, I’ve been struggling with mine for the last 10 years and read countless books and self help methods. Here is what I’m having best results with. First of all, procrastination bulldozer method has worked wonders for me. I highly recommend you apply it. Secondly, whenever you have a task that takes less than 5 minutes to do, do it right away. No delays. I’m really starting to take control of my life now.
