quick tip: if you feel unproductive no matter how much you're working and/or studying, what you're lacking is not more responsibilities, it's actually leisure. I know it may seem contradictory, but having hobbies, having a "busy" free time, filling up your schedule not only with obligations but also with things you do simply out of fun, with no goal in sight, are all extremely important to make you feel fulfilled and drive away this anxiety.
if you're only experiencing progress with the aim of improving your career and making money, but not nourishing your soul and spirit, you'll always feel like you're missing out or lacking in something.
find something that relaxes you, that takes your mind off your obligations and that makes you build a better relationship with your inner self, and this feeling will vanish.

Sans Forgetica has been debunked in atleast 2 studies for Memory and another study in the Journal of Applied Research In Memory and Cognition showed that Sans Forgetica impaired proof reading ability. I hate to bust the bubble... but this is a placebo if anything
I don’t usually share a whole lot but THIS IS INCREDIBLE

For reference, I live in a not so great Philly suburb, unfortunately, so I'm a little bit more heavily armed than I would be in other places
I carry a 9mm Glock 43 with a 6+1 round capacity. You can also go for the 43X, which has a similar profile but double the round capacity. The sizing is right for my grip, and the texture is less sandpaper like than the S&W and Sigs on market. I payed about $470 for my Glock as a factory rebuilt gun. My holster is a convertible kydex holster as well, able to be mounted both in the waistband and outside of it, I find these to be the best for me personally as a southpaw shooter since they're usually ambidextrous. I also added an under barrel mounted flashlight and laser combo (Streamlight TLR-6) since the 3 times I've considered drawing my firearm from holster in real world events happened either in my darkened home or at night at a gas station. I pair my primary holster with a belly band as well that I keep my debit card, ID, and spare mags in. My secondary is kept in either a boot holster or an ankle holster *with trigger guard*
The glock does not have a manual safety, it has a safety trigger, but that is not the same. My secondary sidearm (Kimber Micro in .380 ACP had the thumb safety removed by its prior owner (likely another southpaw shooter since 1911 style models are incredibly difficult to handle the safety on as a southpaw) which is why I carry that one condition 3.
My next handgun purchase will be the Glock 17 for in home situations, open carry when necessary, and competition shooting.
I have had to draw my gun once, and I will tell you right now, it is an adrenaline surge, whether or not you have to take the shot. I can't tell you which factors played into it more vs others, but despite hearing the blood rushing in my ears I do know I would have taken the shot had he not opted for the more peaceful option to GTFO of my house. I also know that I would have been an emotional wreck afterward.
I'm seeing a ton of Feminists urging eachother to get a gun due to the election results, which is fantastic news imo American women please please please assert your 2nd amendment rights and get a gun if you're able to <3
You can start by looking into the gun laws in your state: https://everytownresearch.org/rankings/compare/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_United_States_by_state Gun safety: https://www.agirlandagun.org/how-to-shoot/4-rules-of-gun-safety/ Youtube has thousands of gun related videos, it's a male dominated culture but there are absolutely a ton of resources for female shooters and beginners. Reddit has a handful of firearm related subs, included r/firearms(skews conservative/rightwing) and r/liberalgunowners and r/concealedcarrywomen Facebook has women's gun groups also, many of them skew conservative but can still be a valuable resource for beginners Check out your local area for self defense firearm classes, some will have classes geared specifically to women. Check out your local gun stores, or sporting goods stores, some will have a range in which you can rent a firearm before purchasing but many don't have this feature, so it's important to do product research before buying. https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-handguns-women/ https://tombstonetactical.com/blog/best-guns-for-women (Most guns range from $400 to $700 btw) Gun store employees are overwhelmingly male (and in my experience, old) and might try to steer you towards the tiny pink pistol, or a .22, or something else equally impractical for self defense. It's important to be assertive and clear in what you're looking for!

1 shot of whiskey (Irish is best here, I go for Jamesons or Bushmills) 16 oz hot water, 3 honey dabbers of honey, 1 bag of sleepy time honey, one bag sleepytime extra strength with valerian. Drink alongside 5mg melatonin and a 60% dark chocolate truffle. Particularly good for easing the bones and arthritis in winter. Also you can add a bit of heavy cream or whole milk to really add some decadence to this routine.
Chai tea bag + lil but of brown sugar + apple cider packet + 16 oz. mug of hot but not quite boiling water

Why is there polyester in my cashmere? Or spandex? Knits have stretch in their weave. Why are we adding in microplastics? Why is it impossible to find boring 100% cotton scrubs in basic colors?
