I once wrote a 20 page grant application in half an hour. I have absolutely no idea how, I didn't copy anything from my previous grant requests and I had had two lattes. I mean coffee is powerful but not that powerful. We got the grant, but I do not attribute that to me (we had a really good program).

Honestly? Take a solid chunk of the credit. An idea is only as good as the pitch when the person on the other side has to sift through x^2 applications.

It was one of those projects that all you have to do is bring it to the right people's attention and they get excited to help. I'm pooped right now on grant writing and honestly not enthused on the prospect of getting more but we've been wanting to expand and of course that means more grants. Just, uh, the tap runs a little dry in republican administrations, this one we expect it to be shut off almost entirely.

Blimey are you sure it wasn't a dream

Preceding that half hour, were you planning on what to write?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No I was playing video games in a panic over not having enough time

Depending on that response is what gets us there in the first place

I got all my chrono trigger characters to level 99 and maxed their tabs without using gameshark codes my procrastinating was so powerful
