If they are so pro-capitalist then why are they not OK with competition then?

"Now I am leaving Earth for no raisin!" but I specifically use "... for no raisin" in everyday conversation.

Not me but my wife. If she is having trouble falling asleep I always remind her to play Futurama on her phone then she is out like a light in ~10 minutes.

It's up to the writer. Exactly. It's also important to remember to pick one way of doing it and do it that way consistently throughout the work you are writing for.

I think from a business perspective a third-party app is still competition only in the sense that they are pulling away "numbers" from their own app, views, analytics, marketers. Even if they aren't direct competition it's something that they are competing against in a different sense. But your point is still correct - these apps are participating and aiding in a beneficial way even if it can't be quantified by their financial / marketing / product departments.

I use an app called Awesome Habits which is on the phone and on the desktop. It helps me remember all of the little things I need to do in a single day, week, month that I know will cause me to panic if I try to remember them on my own. All I have to do is look at the app a couple times during the day to make sure I am on top of things - I think I am tracking 30 different habits currently.

Yes - added some "Why YSK" details. Thanks!

That's a solid additional tip there - mostly works in cases where an email is involved.

I tried to use Habitica but it always felt over-complicated, due to shoehorning each set of habits into the gaming format, for simple tracking software. If you can get over the extra upkeep I'm sure it's both fun and worth it.

If I could add you myself I would. I'll check back in a couple days to remind you. Every vote for seltzer counts.

Yeah, dang - thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it.

Yeah I don't know if I could handle the crash and other side-effects. I already have so many other health things I am trying to manage and understand I feel like this would be another wrench thrown into the proverbial machine.

I did get a chance to meet with the therapist and she immediately was like "you have ADHD". All it took was mentioning my unending fidgeting and constant need to rush things and she already knew where it was going. I wonder if a therapist has the ability to administer any tests even if they aren't for the purpose of medication - more as a clinical confirmation of diagnosis I guess?

Thanks for your ADHD story btw!

Nothing is better for and ADHD brain than tests and more tests. 😬

I appreciate that perspective. They aren't bad habits, they are different habits... and they work better in certain scenarios too. Convert those mannerisms to superpowers I say.

Yep, and sometimes it can be triggered by "intending" to leave the site either by navigating away from the cart or moving your cursor towards the tab's "X" button - you don't always have to close out of the tab.

I'm hoping that I won't need meds at all and there's an approach where I can just use therapy to help me understand myself and how I can manage my bad habits.

What's frustrating is that I took some tests when I was younger but they were administered by someone in my family who actively was hoping I wouldn't have ADHD and therefore wouldn't need meds - so that confused me a bit... unless they were right and I'm potentially an anxious mess instead. But anxiety might be it's own meds 🤪. Still would like to avoid it.

I mean FREE is the best discount you can get sooo...... YOINK!

Only when I hit a point where I say "I am very tired and should go to bed" and then that's when I might actually start doing work. Got to love it.

fist bump 👊 😎

So, relax, get the foundational bits out of the way, when the time comes be honest about how I feel. Simple enough. Thanks!

I literally am doing the same thing. I should be working on some client projects that are due over the next two days and instead I created 7 different communities. But I am creating those communities so damn well! 🤷🏻‍♂️
