"Ugh," groaned Emily, pushing the laptop away. The retirement speech for her mom was due in a week, and she hadn't even started. The window was open, a gentle breeze drifting in, carrying the scent of freshly cut grass. Everything felt more appealing than the task at hand.

She grabbed a magazine, flipping through the glossy pages, losing herself in the colorful images. The hours slipped away. She rationalized her avoidance, telling herself that inspiration would strike. Eventually.

She glanced at the clock. Late afternoon. Still no inspiration. She felt a familiar weight settle over her. She sighed and scrolled through social media before finding herself watching cat videos.
