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.

Thanks for the reply. It did help add some context for me.

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

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone had and ideas / knew of an existing stl for a paper folder or folding document organizer. I couldn't find anything on thangs or printables that would keep the paper from bending over time.

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas? I would be using this to store print outs and related documents from a pen and paper rpg.

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

I have been trying to print a print-in-place planetary gear without any luck. Today I found out about a setting that finally got it to print. Cura's slicing tolerance -> exclusive uses the largest part of each layer to calculate the slice which can help when trying to print something with tighter tolerances. Unfortunately, the setting doesn't appear to be in any other slicers, but maybe someone else knows another way to achieve this.

Hello, I was looking for software that would automatically remind me to take a break from the computer every so often. It needs to be automatic and pop up over video games. Idk if anyone had any suggestions?
