I think the first step is to realize that you aren’t a machine, that it’s ok to not be productive.

You can also reflect and see if there are any emotions getting in the way of doing the task. Are you worried about something? Feeling overwhelmed by the task? Upset at you coworker/ or s.o.? Those kind of things. If so you probably need to work through those feelings.

Another thing to consider to consider is are you setting yourself up for success for the task. Do you have your needs meet? Food ? Rest? Exercise? Does music help? Etc. Do whatever helps you.

Finally a tactic that can sometimes work is to just do the bare minimum task and then to the next bare minimum.

Ie can you still at your desk? Can you turn on your computer? Sometimes doing it that way can help me feel less overwhelmed.

Fyi, this can be done with Gmail as well. Just add a plus sign at the end of your email. I.e. your_email+target @ Gmail.com

I think the problem is that the Chinese government subsidized the production. It makes the cars cheaper than they should be which can hurt local industry.

I’m not trying to defend this law, but I feel like there is a way to do this without invading privacy. Like selling a cryptographic key at stores for a few bucks at a store, which checks your id. IDK? I assume the goal is not actually to keep kids from watching porn but rather to have a chilling effect on it

It’s a regional thing in the Midwest at least. It’s always called French bread in the grocery and even the fancy European style bakery downtown calles it a “FRANCESE” instead of a baguette.

Yeah, i was starting to get that feeling as i was thinking about it.

My current idea to get around that is to use cardboard from boxes for the large flat surfaces. Maybe i can make some soft of a frame that snaps together to allow it to bend idk? I’m still thinking

I’m curious what they are all for. That’s a lot of lights.
