I was late to my 9 o’clock meeting this morning because I was making coffee before I looked at my calendar.
if you stare into the abyss long enough, the abyss stares back at you
I wish my sleep paralysis demons were this friendly and comforting
I wish I hadn’t seen this a few hours before bed…
few hours? mango mustard 6 7 skibidi.
As you get older, it’s important to schedule time to disassociate.
This is why I take such long and frequent showers.

Say hi in work messager
Back to bed
Even better: say good morning and change status in Teams to “busy” on the phone and let the mouse jiggler keep you from going “away”. Never have to even leave the bed! Set the status to “away” again at 1700 once you’re off the clock.
Luckily we don’t use teams, so I can just go back to bed hahaha
That might be good time management but its horribly inefficient.
Ive managed to get my morning autopilot down to such a science I spend my first half an hour of paid work still doing this.
This is the way.
This is why I love a good transit system. I can do this every morning in the train during my commute (much easier than telling my autistic self to change the morning routine to include a new thing in it. Tried it several times and never turned out fine).
For me it’s a fight between saving time with car or being able to relax and read in public transit. Currently the time savings from a car beat the shit out of public transit, unfortunately.
I’m lucky, in theory by car it should take me 30 mins to get to work, but traffic and parking make it a 1 hour trip if I’m lucky. If I’m not, it’s 1.30h or more.
Train + bike is a 45 minutes trip every time so it’s a pretty easy choice.
For me it’s 45 minutes driving, around two hours by public transit (at best). Often the times I go to work and get off there’s no lines running
Much more efficient.
I do it during my morning poop.
Everyone, look out, this person has a regular poop routine.
you sit on the edge of your bed during your morning poop? /amber heard account found.
Yeah but you can’t fap on the train. I mean, you shouldn’t.
Not with that attitude
Trains used to be fun.
I’m always late :(
When you are over 40 you have to do this while having chronic bodily pain and a ringing in your ears as well…
Nah… In all seriousness, just exercise regularly and the pain goes away.
My knee which feels like it exploded says otherwise.
Running may cause this, yes. I’ve bought a relatively cheap elliptical machine for my house and it really made miracles.
Running is what triggered it originally years ago. Ligament and cartilage problems I think it was. Could barely walk on it for 2 or 3 months after. I have to be very selective about the sport I do now. I helped a friend move house a few weeks ago and somehow that has messed it up again. But now I know what it is so I know when to stop and deal it it better. I miss being young!
And a bit of genetic luck also helps. I’m a flabby 40, but I don’t have backpain, two working knees and I’m flexible like a bendy straw. I’m more flexible than the skinny 20 year old intern at work.
On the other hand my hair started turning grey when I was 12, so you win some, you lose some.
My only physical problem at the moment (that I know…) is that between myopia and presbyopia my clear vision field spans maybe from 30 to 40 cm from my eyes. This sucks big times. Other than that, no backpain or the likes.
Well, you’re doing better than me :D congenital cataracts means I don’t have my natural lenses. I can see about 20 percent with contacts or glasses.
Still, I can ride a bike, I do watch repairs, and photography is a hobby. I like to use challenge myself to do stuff that even normal sighted people wouldn’t do, like watch repairs with its teeny tiny screws. It’s only a disability if you let it be one.

* ME gets worse with exercise. Sucks big time.
:(
So basically my cat wrecks my time management by hopping in my lap and head butting me. What a jerk 🥹
Why do people do this?
Existential dread after a grim reality crushes all hope.
It’s not always that bleak, at least for me. Sometimes it’s just deep regrets, shame, trauma, that sort of thing.
Ah yes the vacation disassociation time, it nice to escape the external horrors once in a while to just your own internal horrors, it’s like a warm blanket before the waterboarding.

it’s called “unwinding” and also staring into the abyss hoping to find answers about the future there to cure the mental depression and anxiety that dwells in us all (or most of us) since we don’t know what the future will look like
