WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING
Discipline, by notification
Discipline got outsourced to apps that ping you into virtue: hydration reminders, posture alerts, streak shame, a small glowing rectangle shaped like a disappointed parent. And meanwhile you obey every external deadline and defer every internal one: the project, the letter, the thing you said you would start in January. Two Januaries ago. A herb that simply expects better of the room is the analogue original, and it grades the air, but you both know whose homework it's really marking.
Externally reliable, internally overdue. The herb has seen the file.
