It absolutely is, but I am a firm believer in not worrying about things I cannot change, and focusing on things I can change, I guess. If I think about how absurd it is, I just get mad and can't focus.

Here I feel the need to share what I feel like is my ultimate setup: put in earplugs first, then cover with sound deadening/isolating headphones, finally play white noise. I don't hear shit. Added bonus: put your chair and feet on

I thought that, but those thoughts are invalidated by the few memories I do have of being extremely productive, completing that project or task and feeling wonderful as a result. No, for me, I spent about a year reading books about adult AD

As a heuristic it would be OK, however, there are some situations where the escape analysis algorithms don't detect certain scenarios so a linter may lead you to believe things are not escaping but in reality they really are, it's

A vicious cycle of procrastination and being easily distracted. When I finally sit down to do something I am unable to complete meaningful progress (meaningful to me). I have a laundry list of things I wanted to accomplish by now, and haven

I may be alone on this one, but if Chick Fil A automated most of their workers, I would stop eating there. Part of the reason I go there is I am always impressed at just how good they are at customer service. There isn't another fast f

Typically contractors and subcontractors are paid by the job, not hour. Yes, it's definitely considered difficult labor, but again, the body adapts and strengthens. I wouldn't suggest working in 100 degree sun, however, that'
