You have not completed your Spanish lesson today, the language learning app chides me
You started a module but left it unfinished- my professional learning website derides me
You have not posted in five days- the blogging platform reminds me
Whenever I slack in my routine, the internet finds me
To nudge me to action, to send reminders gentle
In keeping me on track, these subtle nudges are instrumental
But there are days when consistency I cannot maintain
And getting these reminders make me feel like an adolescent again
Nagged by parents and teachers to complete work assigned
As an adult, to tolerate being nagged I am not inclined
*
These reminders of things I have neglected to do
Make me feel defeated, and a bit guilty too
I feel I have failed to appropriately allocate
My time to everything I have kept on my plate
*
Another notification to complete an unfinished task just flashed across my screen
I must finish it now, and keep my record clean
Passion...unbridled
