pretentious moment incoming but why is everyone's idea of fashion so fucking boring these days. why the fuck did my manager just ask me "what's with the scarf". "what's with the scarf" fuck man do I need a reason to wear a faggy little scarf now? you could just say "nice scarf man". what's with your attitude

improving productivity

productivity refers to the efficiency of turning inputs into outputs. it's a measure of performance that compares what's produced with the resources used to create it. the three types of productivity include economic productivity, labor productivity, and workplace productivity.

workplace (or personal) productivity refers to how much work is done within a specific time period. factors that influence workplace productivity include motivation, personality, talent, training, environment, support, and time management.

improving personal productivity involves adopting effective strategies and habits. systems. here are some tips:

prioritize tasks: identify high-priority tasks and focus on them first. use techniques like the eisenhower matrix to categorize tasks by urgency and importance. prioritizing is essential for several reasons. it helps you avoid getting bogged down in busywork and unimportant tasks. it reduces overwhelm and provides focus and structure. by focusing on what truly matters, you make progress toward your objectives and optimize your use of time and resources. prioritizing tasks streamline your workflow and increase efficiency. multitasking is less effective than focusing your attention on one task.

set clear goals: define specific, measurable goals. break them down into smaller steps to make the progress manageable. goals provide a compass for your actions. they guide you toward what truly matters, helping you prioritize tasks and decisions. clarity reduces distractions, allowing you to stay focused on opportunities aligned with your objectives. goals also serve as benchmarks, allowing you to measure progress and celebrate achievements.

time blocking: allocate specific blocks of time for different tasks. my favourite tools for this are the notion calendar (it gives a great visual representation of tasks). by dedicating specific blocks of time to tasks, you minimize distractions and stay on track. when you commit to time blocks, you're more likely to complete tasks within those periods. knowing when you'll work on specific tasks reduces anxiety. it creates predictability and reduces decision fatigue.

take breaks: regular breaks improve focus and prevent burnout. step away from your desk, and stretch, or take a short walk. relaxing activities improve well-being and calm the central nervous system. the ideal break duration depends on individual preferences and the nature of the work. some strategies include utilizing the pomodoro technique, or the 20-20-20 rule. for screen-related work, every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. this reduces eye strain and refreshes focus. short breaks (5-10 minutes) are great for quick rejuvenation. longer breaks (15-30 minutes) allow deeper relaxation and can include a walk or light exercise.

stay healthy: prioritize sleep, exercise, and nutrition. a healthy body supports a productive mind. when you prioritize well-being, you create a solid foundation for effective work. chronic stress negatively impacts productivity. practice stress-reducing techniques like mindfulness, deep breathing, or meditation. a positive mindset enhances focus and creativity. prioritize self-care and emotional balance. invest in healthy habits such as good hydration, and balanced nutrition.

remember - productivity is about working smarter, not just harder. experiment with these strategies and find what works best for you!

"My child is completely fine"

Your child prefers to watch cartoons instead of teen series because they need happiness, family love, friendship and cheer in their life.

hate it when people can't understand the differences between the worlds we're currently living in.

an 18 y/o working 2 jobs for 17 hours straight who also studies and does personal projects would UNDERSTANDABLY have less time for other people. the guy has 7 hours for self-care and y'all expect to have at least 45 minutes of chatting about stuff that i can do over brunch or something during my off (which news flash, i don't have an off since as a high school grad i need to get my credentials as fast as possible to sustain myself and my fam) it's not that i don't care about all of you, i am tired too. i need to rest my mind to do my responsibilities well.

in the context of my job, i have people shouting at me almost every 20 mins. having someone else blabber about minor inconveniences (esp petty shit that u SHOULD be learning to outgrow and accept as part of growing up) is a waste of my time knowing u should know how to deal with that on your own.

i love the people around me, i really do. but believe me as an 18 y/o who has to be responsible for more than just myself, manage socializing and my studies (to get into uni) is really draining. it's not normal, but the circumstances i am in demand that i do so.

so please, to those peeps who have friends that work and study at the same time. just be more understanding that maybe their schedule won't operate like yours. maybe the 5 texts/replies they've sent were just what they can offer. maybe the 1 day in the month that you can have 2-hour conversations are all they have.

just, be more gentle. treat everyone with grace, okie?
