  1. Phew. Nearing 50, F, never had tiktok, not stuck with insta for long, hiding reels and not even seeing shorts, but gorging on youtube, many different topics, longer and shorter videos. I do rot (physically) a few hours a day and I do experience the lack of physical motivation, but I think critically about what I see or hear and call out BS as I go. Then I pop on the treadmill at night, or pull and push weights. I am a night animal. In fact, I must have gained a few new brain cells over 2024, learning a lot about computers and transitioning to Linux. One cannot have a mash in a skull if they want to do this. Even showed off in front of my little older colleague with PhD, doing %temp% clear out on her pc, remembering this for a few months. Or suggesting to save a link to a word document, then on a usb, and set up a bookmark in a different account on a different computer where she struggled to do it on her own. She said waau, I wouldn't think about that! And she wasn't sarcastic. For me it was a normal workaround. I don't get it how she didn't get it. And I have no formal IT education, just what I pick on the go. Listening futher, as I am wotking on a massive cross stitch project, 450x615 tiny crosses (20 per inch count) with 90 colours, then making greeting cards, each one is unique, massive brainstorming every time, completed a mixed media trilogy boxed canvas before the end of last year, gardening... I think I am safe, for now, LOL.

  2. I usually come destroyed like this and hibernate in bed for a couple (or more) hours, often having a nap. Not yesterday. I tried a new recipe for a savoury flapjack. Energized, looking fwd to something. It turned out well. It usually depends on how sleep deprived I am, and for that matter social media don't help. People are often 'destroyed' because they were scrolling til late.
