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

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?

I hope it encompasses enough so companies can't worm their way around it.

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.

Not super old, but I'm working through Borderlands 3. I'm also playing through some old-ish games with my 9 y.o. like Portal 2, Supraland, Spyro remastered in an effort to change up his usual Fortnite/Minecraft/Roblox.

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.

Spray foam the void if possible, but most spray foams will only expand up to 2 inches. This provides a bit of insulation and protection against pests.

Might be the angle, but those shut-offs look a bit close to the wall, might be hard to do anything that will finish it off/cover the spray foam.

Good morning to you as well!

I hate seeing these stories. I grew up with music and I really wish funding the arts was a bit more prevalent in our culture. If it eventually comes down to "what makes money will survive", it doesn't bode well for arts programs in schools and beyond.

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).
