A nightmare ends when my bladder tells me to get up, but you are always here, even when I am awake. I guess that makes you a 'daymare.' I agree with paring down our writing, but not when it changes the meaning of what we are saying - assuming that we have any meaning, to begin with.
In my ear, your Canadian slang has a definite Irish lilt - lovely.
Academic writing and much business writing are deliberately obtuse and serve no purpose. I guess these writers feel they are showing how smart they are by writing in a convoluted manner. Writing is supposed to help clarify the writer's thoughts, if so, these types of writers need to spend more time thinking and less time writing.
Life is gray, not black and white, so I completely understand why a person as intelligent as you are has so many thoughts at one time.
I'm not organized, so I have never experienced the calm that comes with organization. I have a sign that says, "A neat desk is a sign of a sick person." If this is true, I am very healthy!
My suggestion - Be Calm, have a PB&T sandwich with a bourbon chaser - repeat as often as needed, maybe omitting the PB&T sandwich and just having the chaser.
Alcohol is the answer - now what was the question?
Alcohol is a solution, after all haha. I also love the idea of writing to establish clarity. Apparently its a real thing, but I've been doing it most of my life without realizing it. Being a 'writer' now allows me to share my learnings while reinforcing them in my own head thingy.
