Mental atomic bomb.

Pressure creates diamonds.

It's a system of countdowns and timers stared at simultaneously, inspiring action and impending doom. However, you are in reality, you are facing reality, and are never flying blind.

I know what you're thinking: "This is the most absurd thing I've ever heard." But trust me, it's not. In fact, it's quite ingenious. Mental atomic bomb is the perfect way to stay motivated and focused. It's like having your own personal drill sergeant watching your every move and waiting for you to slip up.


But here's the best part: mental atomic bomb is completely fake! You create it in your mind, and therefore you are always in control. There's no need to worry about things going wrong or making a mistake–because there is no such thing as a mental atomic bomb!

So go ahead and try it out for yourself. Set some countdowns and timers and see how much more productive you can be!


You are a professional. You know what you're doing, and you're always in control. At least, that's what you tell yourself. But when you're staring at the mental atomic bomb - a system of countdowns and timers that are all staring back at you simultaneously, it's hard to stay calm and composed. The pressure is mounting, and it feels like the weight of the world is bearing down on you.


But then you remember: you're not flying blind. You may be facing an uncertain future, but at least you're facing reality head-on. There's no running from this thing - only by confronting it can you hope to overcome it. So take a deep breath, put on your brave face, and get ready to take on whatever comes your way.

Mental atomic bomb. It's a system of countdowns and timers stared at simultaneously, inspiring action and impending doom. However, you are in reality, you are facing reality, and are never flying blind.


In theory, it's a great idea. In practice, it's a mental atomic bomb. Every time you look at the clock, you have five different timers running in your head, all with different purposes and endgames. You're always planning and always aware of the ticking clock- but is that really such a bad thing?

Sure, it's stressful- but it's also motivating! The pressure of the timer keeps you moving; there's no time for dilly-dallying when you're staring down an atomic bomb. You might not be able to control the situation, but you can always control your own reaction to it. And that's what counts.
