I def used “one armed scissor” as a screen name back in high school.

It’s a dumb headline because there are definitely people paying attention, just not the right people.

I remember playing this game when it first came out as a mobile game. Super cool concept, but I also remember hearing the drama from the start. I definitely thought this game had been abandoned a looong time ago.

So project management on a personal scale is really varied based on what level of detail you need. I’ve worked with people who have ADHD traits and they worked best with a very micromanaged day, like there is a reminder every 15 minutes to keep them on track (that’s a generalization, but not far off).

But if you’re just looking for some broader structure to help organize projects you have to do, you can look at AI assisted planners to remove some of the basic breakdown work. You can ask ChatGPT to create a rough outline for some major projects, give it a time frame, and mention any other circumstances (work, childcare, only work 1 hour at a time, etc.), it will give you a decent outline to start with. You can then break it down further if you need to and refine the time line to best fit your own needs

There are lots of ‘personal project management’ books that can help to break it down, also good youtube videos on the subject. There are 3 primary things to remember though:

• create manageable goals, this might take some trial and error to figure out timing.
• stick to your plan. Putting off a task because you don’t feel like it defeats the purpose of making a plan.
• if you stuck to the plan the best you could and it didn’t work out, don’t beat yourself up. Use it as a learning experience for next time you need to plan stuff out. Figure out why it didn’t work and fix it.

Quick note: reading/other resources won’t hand you the answers, they will only help to provide and explain the tools you would need to be successful. Good luck!

I also had the alias 2. I thought I was pretty hot shit with the fancy flip-both-directions phone. And I think there was a little display on the outside too, right? With the time and some other basic notifications?

Effective planning. It’s very easy to say " I’m doing this today and that tomorrow" but how realistic is that? Know how to break something down into its component pieces and be able complete them along a schedule. It’s basically project management, but for everyday stuff. It helps immensely to be able to tackle big projects and recognize that things are progressing even though the project still isn’t done. Hugely helpful for stress management.

I really hope they’re successful. The ideals they’re working towards are great, but something I’ve learned at every point in life is that people like things easy. They like to be spoon fed, and the algorithms do exactly that. People need to want something different and that’s where I fear the biggest hurdle will be.

If over the course of 100 years, nothing more newsworthy has prevailed to get people’s attention, that the doom and gloom of a century ago is the same as it is today, it’s saying something about the world in general that we haven’t changed. Should we have changed in 100 years? I’d like to think so, but as I get older I know that’s a pretty optimistic view of things.

That author’s paragraph out of context could mean a lot of different things which we can leave up to each viewer to decide.

Glad to see we’ve progressed in a hundred years time…

Non profit mindfulness apps are so much nicer when you don’t have the ads or pressure to go premium. Healthy Minds is another one by a non profit that I use.

How well do you think logic will hold up with high school teens?

Random other info:

• a headrest is unnecessary for the purposes of sitting correctly in an office chair. Headrests tend to put your cervical spine into slight extension if you’re sitting straight up.
• one thing you can’t see from this angle is your shoulder abduction angle. Most office chairs are quite wide, so trying to use the armrests while you type can put an unnecessary amount of strain on your wrists. Ideal positioning for your elbows is directly below your shoulders, like where they would rest if you were standing up. Better for your shoulders and wrists.
• if you’re looking for a good ergo chair, I always recommend a used/refurbished higher end chair rather than a cheaper new chair. The higher end chairs (Steelcase, Humanscale, Herman Miller, Autonomous, etc) typically have replaceable parts and sometimes will still have a manufacturer’s warranty depending on where you buy it.

I’m a kinesiologist who has done a lot of office ergo work.

Is the resolution on this one not as good as the others you posted? Or is it just my phone?

This guy, Dr. Glaucomflecken also does a ton of skits, some funny, some critical. For his most recent ones he did a satirical set, 30 days of US Healthcare, and they were both funny and depressing. I did not know some of the stuff he mentioned in those. Worth the watch.

Like others have said. Hard to pick one.

I had an Age of Empires demo disk that I played through dozens of times before actually receiving the full game.

Crash Bandicoot for PS1 on Christmas day at 7 years old is definitely a core memory.

But more recently I’ve really enjoyed games that have a good blend of story/gameplay or that really nail a theme. Subnautica was an awesome experience to play (dark room and good headphones are recommended for the first time playing through), Portal 2 because it was so unique (I played #2 before #1).
