I love this quick takes thing:
- Low-key a better version of twitter
- I can blurb because I don't have the attention span to form thoughts long enough for a post
- Maybe one day I will collect enough thoughts here to get a LLM to slop out a post
I figured out how to not forget my keys when going out by sticking a bright post-it to the door that says "keys?"
All it took was realising that I am not infact "built different" and forget my keys all the time. This week was high-stakes because flatmate is out, and wouldn't be able to bail me out of being stuck outside.
Whether this sticks (ha!) or I start to ignore the post-it remains to be seen.
I've figured out a way to stop myself from doomscrolling - every time I see a YouTube short, I do 10 pushups.
I started by mapping this in my brain by opening a short, and immediately doing 10 pushups. And I seem to have not watched a single short in the last week.
I did have to stop mid-poop and do 10 pushups at one point though, because I opened the shorts and realised this after scrolling through half a dozen of them.
Train yourself to notice that you're doomscrolling on YouTube shorts, and this is bad, and even if you think you are seeing some (news/science/something you find interesting), it is all just slop that you'll forget in two days. Tops.
