Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.
Part two was.. fine.
Throwback to a simpler time.

I’m a little bit blown away at how incredibly educational and helpful www.languagetransfer.org/courses has been.
I’ve been struggling with finding a beginner course for learning Spanish; I wish I found this sooner.

I’ve got Daily Tasks, simple Tasks/Reminders, Shopping lists, but also more obscure things like reminders for relationships or chores.
And I’m just so surprised at how much seeing a number for the due/overdue reminders has helped; night and day difference.
For several days I was wondering why my productivity tanked; I was originally thinking that it was meds losing their effectiveness. Then I realized that I had converted the reminders app icon into a widget, which removed the red dot with numbers on it.
Silly but effective.

I’m hoping that i fixed my #ADHD productivity problem.
Sure, meds were critical, but also having the proper productivity system in place is also important
Surprisingly, mine was the #iOS reminders app; not only that, but I had to see its badge numbers and how many reminders were due.

Neurodivergents will be like ‘I’m so tired’ and then refuse to sleep because they haven’t had enough me time after surviving the day 🤷♀️
Feel overwhelmed by your to-do list? Try making a to-don't list, of things you don't need to do. Mine for today includes:
- get haircut
- dismantle and rebuild TV
- learn to speak Farsi
- invent velcro
- cause small earthquake in east Nebraska
- kidnap a Klingon
I haven't done any of them. Success!

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”
Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.
