#wfh hacks

[allalrightagain]

Things that are going around my office:

Covid

Strep

A multi day bug that leaves you with weeks of dry cough

Seasonal allergies

(One unrelated eye injury that I lied about to save face)

Things that are not going around my office:

Masks

[beary-wary]

working from home really motivates me to do things I have little motivation to do. for example, I need to get in 10k steps a day, but I really didn’t feel like it today, so I instead use this mindset: I am being paid to walk right now. And that really gets me on my feet.

i also like using my paid breaks to do chores. for example, i essentially got paid to clean my cat’s litter boxes and do the dishes.

whatever works, man.

Brandy bean, how’s your work going? Hopefully we’ll and not too demanding. 😘

Looks like this kind stranger came in asking for the Wi-Fi password while he runs some updates on your systems. Little do you know, he’s already hacked in, just looking for an excuse to talk to the pretty girl. 🥺 And happy to explain how the new system will streamline everything if you tell him about your day.

well well well im in an empty office bc all the faculty are wfh on mondays and i've lost access to our ref analytics dataset 😌😏

jakey would be very welcome to sit near me while he explains what's happening and how he'll fix it ☺️👉🏻👈🏻 no i cant move away, he'll just have to put his arm around me to use my mouse hee hee oops how'd i end up on his lap?

[so-much-for-subtlety]

I’m assuming that the covid case data at this point is incredibly inaccurate so all we can say is that there’s an upwards trend.

but coming into office today so many people have a hacking cough. we have a very liberal wfh policy if you’re sick, why do people still come in when they don’t have to? gross

Every hybrid who has the choice to WFH but chooses to work in office should be put down on site. You're making my commute a fucking nightmare because you really want to be 2 feet from Tim hacking up a long and spreading whatever mystery illness he has (it's covid)

大家好! I read a report late last year stating that there was a surge in global demand for instant noodles due to the high cost of living. Arguably, it is still the case so far this year. Several instant ramen recipes, including hacks to zhng (elevate) the noodles, have appeared on social media. In Southeast Asia, people also stirfry them. If you want fresh ideas to jazz up instant ramen, I've included a coupla videos below. They can even be used as a substitute for pasta; I used to do that when the ex craved noodles to keep meals interesting.

Jammy eggs may be all the rage but I remain a firm fan of softboiled ones. Have you added soy sauce and pepper to 2 softboiled eggs, stirred them up and coated instant noodles with the mixture? For a balanced meal, add a side of blanched choy sum, bak choy or Napa cabbage. Softboiled is my favourite way to eat eggs and I'm not the only one. Friends drool when I post pics of them; before long, they share photos of their own. Alternatively, slurp them up plain as a snack!

When food remains expensive, the best solution is to explore our vibrant hawker scene. Pasta prices average between $12 - $28 in restaurants and cafes and they're often served with pitiful amounts of veggies and protein. At the coffee shop I visit during WFH lunches is a stall selling local Western fare. Their seafood pasta came with decent portions of fish, shrimp, imitation crab stick and there were julienned onions and carrots in the sauce. The price: $7.90.

Israel has claimed that it will open Ashdod Port and Erez Gate to allow more humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza. Whether it will carry this out and how soon will determine Palestinians' fate as this bloodstained war continues. To me, the pressure exerted on Israel was mainly due to the killing of aid workers operating under WCK, founded by celebrity chef Jose Andres. Many humanitarian aid workers, purportedly mainly Palestinians have perished, without a peep from Western governments and mainstream media. It seems like double standards again, right?

Clearly, what is preventing the possibility of long term peace is Israel. They have rejected a two state solution when the rest of the world is overwhelmingly for it. If they agree to it, then I may view future attacks by Hamas against Israel as inexcusable and unreasonable. Palestinians just want their own land, which is increasingly encroached upon by Israeli settlers. Try as I might, I can't find anything wrong with what they want. 下次见!

Let’s see. Four hours until work for 2B. She wants to cry, but is not sad so she can’t, and be alone. That we can do! Meditation time! And keeping 9S away so she can enjoy said alone time. WFH for 2B! It’s time to practice ordering around! ...I was waiting for 2B to be done with the meditation on her own time but it’s 11AM. I’m clicking of that meditation. Anyway time for her to practice ordering around a training dummy.

Now it’s finally time for 9S to chat and embrace 2B! Would farm some romance interactions with 2B while I’m at it. And this included TWO rounds of woohoo! Romance fulfilled. Now it’s time for 9S to be HACKERMAN! A round of hacks plus practising programming for his whim. And let’s browse Simpedia as well! Why not? HEY! He tuned on tunes and woke up 2B! Rude! ...at least she’s well rested. And now she’s sad. Alas. And needs a hug. She’ll get one from 9S before she spends more alone time on the meditation stool. ...2B got the sedentary lifestyle. Welp. Too much meditation time, I suppose. ...we’re not keeping that though. So whims are to flirt with 9S and to stay on lot for eight hours. Mm. It’s 6 hours until she has to go into work but so eh.

Neighborhood Watch!

Moonwood Mill: The Lux Demarco household moved out.

Huh. Okay then.

Copperdale: The Dye household has moved in.

Brindleton Bay: The Raghavan household recently moved in.

9S is up. And wants a date. Alas, less than 8 hours until 2B has to go to work. Eh don’t really have much to do. I’ll have 2B workout. After so much flaffing, it’s finally time to send 2B to work. And she got a promotion! She’s a captain now!

9S wants to cloudgaze with Bautista Bencomo, a random Sim he knows. It’s overcast in Willow Creek so let’s go travelling. Sunsnow in Magnolia Promenade, nope. Windy at Newcrest...pin in it. Partially cloudy in Forgotten Hollow! We have a winner! Inviting Bautista over and, ah. That explains the high friendship without a formal introduction. He’s a gym trainer. Now I’ll have 9S hang by the chess tables at the center of Forgotten Hollow. Introduced himself to a hedge fund manager by the name of Aitana Ochoa. Aye! He got a positive sentiment with her! Might as well make her social bunny friends then. And now 9S has a promotion. He’s a Conspiracy Squelcher! Time for him to get to work!

And time to switch to 2B. Who wants to talk to her neighbor Gerald! We’ll make friends with him while we’re at it. Got a very tense moodlet for too many friends though. Contrasts her Close Knit lifestyle. Anyway, now she wishes to be alone so let’s do some more fishing. And now she’s getting whims related to fishing! Woo. We’re on the final stage of fishing aspiration for 2B! And it’s a skill cap. Level 10 fishing time! She’s at 8 now. Anyway, that’s enough fishing. Let’s head home. Checking in on 9S and his whims and he wants to date 2B. Will do so when we come back to this household!

Neighborhood Watch!

Windenburg: The Castillo household recently moved in.

Glimmerbrook: The Yamashita household recently moved out.

Glimmerbrook: The Laughlin household recently moved out.

Hi @shonpota~ ^0^/ Nice to meet you + thank you for following me on Tumblr ~ Still new to it + not super active but I like to visit & drop by every now & then~ ^^ If ok to ask (if not kindly disregard): (1) How did you come across Blackstar? (2) Who are your favorites from Blackstar? (3) Any game tips for those new to Blackstar? (4) Do you accept quick fanfiction asks? For example, "Could you write a super quick what-if scenario for Taiga? Like if he happens to be doing something on the computer (hacking) or in the middle of a boss fight (video game) and all of a sudden there's a blackout? What would he do?" (could be a funny reaction xD) (5) Any recommended websites for Blackstar merch? My bad for asking a lot of questions ^^; Thank you for your time & happy reading/gaming/other~ ^0^/ -Nacho ^0^

Suppo! Yo yo!!!

1. From ads in Qooapp, the design of the characters reminds me of villains in senjyushi, it is such a good moment because i was severely broken hearted due senjyushi got shut down back then, and black star helps me cope.

2. Yakou, Yoshino, Mokuren, Rindou!

3. Focus on raising heroine levels and auto performance skill! Well i am an active wfh worker so auto performance do 90% of my scores while j am distracted.

4. Oh!! Yeah sure sure maybe for one paragraph!! I also accept Black Star RP too (i typed fast).

Thanks for asking me, Nachoo

[theleakypen]

Write 10 facts about yourself and/or your writing, then send this to 10 of your lovely followers

So I was scrolling through my oldest asks just as a way to remember what things were like back then and so on and I ran across this and it's an ask I can actually answer!

So uh. Exactly a decade later here we are. Ten facts about my writing:

I've written poetry in English, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish, even though I'm only really fluent in two of those.

I've translated a bunch of poetry in my life, and I'm currently making my first foray into translating a prose work from English to Russian.

I've written more prose in the last three years than I have in the rest of my life (all 3 decades of it) combined.

I've successfully completed NaPoWriMo thrice.

I've only successfully completed NaNoWriMo once and the resulting work is unusable. It's literally just 50k of backstory LOLSOB

I used to do a lot of collaborative storytelling/text roleplay, starting from when I was 12 or so. I started out in a Dark Hunters roleplay yahoogroup wherein I was definitely the youngest member, having never read a single Sherrilyn Kenyon book, because I make fantastic choices. I wasn't super active but it was a fun community to be part of. (I've since read one Sherrilyn Kenyon book XD)

So that was twenty years ago. Ten years ago I was doing a bunch of roleplaying on Omegle and on a Kushiel's Legacy php board and right here on tumblr as @puckishsprite.

Speaking of roleplays, one piece of writing that I'm slowly plugging away at is a Lasers & Feelings hack based on the Books of the Raksura by Martha Wells.

I've published two original short stories! Both with Duck Prints Press.

I've learned to be kind to myself about having an inconsistent pace when it comes to my writing. It makes sense that I got a lot of writing done in the early days of lockdown when I barely had any tasks to do for work because there was very little that could be done WFH and the library hadn't yet brought us back to start processing books for holds to go. Now we're back to full time in person work and I have a different and more brain-intensive job and there's all sorts of life maintenance stuff and the union work. It makes sense that the writing will fall by the wayside a little bit. It doesn't mean the creativity isn't happening, it's just happening a bit slower. And that's all right.

Beating the Afternoon Slump [6 Hacks]

SUPERHUMAN SCORE: 8.38

​

​​Read on BENMEER.COM | 02-12-23

Level up your productivity and conquer the 3pm crash with these 6 powerful tips.

PRINCIPLE-FIRST

​​Most people lose 2-3 hours daily to the afternoon slump.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

SUPERHUMAN SCORING

Get to know the evaluation system.

Impact (10.0/10)

Imagine reclaiming 14+ hours weekly of high energy.

You could:

Boost productivity

Deepen relationships

Get in the best shape of your life

6 tips to beat the slump…

Setup (7.0/10)

1) Follow Japan's 80% Rule

“Eat until you're only 80% full.”

Overeating makes the body divert blood & energy to digestion (causing drowsiness).

Nobody has time for a food coma. So, at lunch:

Prioritize nutritious foods

Eat slowly to calibrate fullness

Stop eating at 80%

2) Stay Hydrated

Your brain is 73% water. Dehydration impairs decision-making and causes low energy. So give your brain the water it deserves:

Drink 0.5-1 fl oz per lb of bodyweight

Carry a water flask everywhere you go

Hydrate, think clearly, keep that energy.

3) Use a Standing Desk

Our ancestors used to hunt mammoths.

Now we sit at desks for 8 hours every day. Then we watch TV for another 3 hours (on average). Humans aren't built for this.

Simply, we're wired to be alert when standing.

87% of those who use a standing desk report increased energy. I use Fully Jarvis, but there are less expensive options (including desktop conversions).

Get a standing desk, take walking meetings, move your body daily.

4) Optimize Your Work Environment

Activate your 5 senses:

👂 Score your afternoon with music (I like Hans Zimmer)

👁️ Hide bad triggers (phone)

👃 Use an aromatherapy diffuser (peppermint & lemon promote focus)

👋 Set a cool room temp for alertness (69-72°)

👅 Hydrate; stock healthy snacks

5) Set a Pomodoro Timer

Recenter your focus after lunch with a Pomodoro timer.

I like Focus To-Do, a Chrome extension. Set a timer in the app for 25 mins on, 5 mins off.

25 mins of pure focus is science-backed. It's cognitively challenging but feels attainable.

Take a deep dive into The Pomodoro Technique in this past newsletter.

6) Power Nap (if you WFH)

Einstein. Thatcher. da Vinci.

All famous nappers.

Take a midday power nap. You'll get two days of energy in one.

Effective napping is two-fold:

Length: Naps >30 mins might put you in REM, inducing sleep inertia (grogginess)

Time of day: Napping past 3 pm often hurts evening sleep (prioritize 7+ hours nightly). Find your sweet spot of length and time.

Maintenance (6.5/10)

“But Ben, what if I want a lazy afternoon?”

Go for it, my friend!

These tips are for your high-voltage days. The days when you want (or need) to avoid the afternoon slump.

BRINGING IT HOME

TL;DR Beat the Afternoon Slump:

Follow the 80% Eating Rule

Stay hydrated

Use a standing desk

Activate your 5 senses

Set a Pomodoro timer

Take a 20-min power nap (if you WFH)

Protect that energy.

All systems go, Ben

But it doesn't have to be that way. ****************** SUPERHUMAN SCORING ****************** Get to know the evaluation system ( https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/92uddl35o8unhq2gdv8i9/z2hghnhogr7lqdfp/aHR0cHM6Ly9zeXN0ZW1zdW5kYXkuY29tL3N1cGVyaHVtYW4tc2NvcmUv ). Impact (10.0/10) Imagine reclaiming 14+ hours weekly of high energy. You could: * Boost productivity * Deepen relationships * Get in the best shape of your life 6 tips to beat the slump… Setup (7.0/10) 1) Follow Japan's 80% Rule “Eat until you're only 80% full.” Overeating makes the body divert blood & energy to digestion (causing drowsiness). Nobody has time for a food coma. So, at lunch: * Prioritize nutritious foods * Eat slowly to calibrate fullness * Stop eating at 80% 2) Stay Hydrated Your brain is 73% water. Dehydration impairs decision-making and causes low energy. So give your brain the water it deserves: * Drink 0.5-1 fl oz per lb of bodyweight * Carry a water flask everywhere you go Hydrate, think clearly, keep that energy. 3) Use a Standing Desk Our ancestors used to hunt mammoths. Now we sit at desks for 8 hours every day. Then we watch TV for another 3 hours (on average). Humans aren't built for this. Simply, we're wired to be alert when standing. 87% of those who use a standing desk report increased energy. I use Fully Jarvis ( https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/92uddl35o8unhq2gdv8i9/p8heh9h9v5dqn9aq/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZnVsbHkuY29tL3N0YW5kaW5nLWRlc2tzLmh0bWw= ), but there are less expensive options (including desktop conversions). Get a standing desk, take walking meetings, move your body daily. 4) Optimize Your Work Environment Activate your 5 senses: * 👂 Score your afternoon with music (I like Hans Zimmer ( https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/92uddl35o8unhq2gdv8i9/x0hph6hngdzq5wh5/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2FydGlzdC8wWUMxOTJjUDNLUENSV3g4enI4TWZa )) * 👁️ Hide bad triggers (phone) * 👃 Use an aromatherapy diffuser (peppermint & lemon promote focus) * 👋 Set a cool room temp for alertness (69-72°) * 👅 Hydrate; stock healthy snacks 5) Set a Pomodoro Timer Recenter your focus after lunch with a Pomodoro timer. I like Focus To-Do ( https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/92uddl35o8unhq2gdv8i9/6qheh8hpq6w9mlto/aHR0cHM6Ly9jaHJvbWUuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS93ZWJzdG9yZS9kZXRhaWwvZm9jdXMtdG8tZG8tcG9tb2Rvcm8tdGltZS9uZ2Nlb2RvaWxjZ3Bta2lqb3BpbmxrbW9obmZpZmpmYj9obD1lbg== ), a Chrome extension. Set a timer in the app for 25 mins on, 5 mins off. 25 mins of pure focus is science-backed. It's cognitively challenging but feels attainable. Take a deep dive into The Pomodoro Technique in this past newsletter ( https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/92uddl35o8unhq2gdv8i9/58hvh7h5eo06r7u6/aHR0cHM6Ly9iZW5tZWVyLmNvbS9uZXdzbGV0dGVyL3BvbW9kb3JvLXRlY2huaXF1ZS8= ). 6) Power Nap (if you WFH) Einstein. Thatcher. da Vinci. All famous nappers. Take a midday power nap ( https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/92uddl35o8unhq2gdv8i9/25h2hoh750gmknt3/aHR0cHM6Ly9iZW5tZWVyLmNvbS9uZXdzbGV0dGVyL3Bvd2VyLW5hcC8= ).
