When you're a type A kind of person who enjoys having routines and tasks to complete in order to keep your active brain happy, I find it's best that you intentionally include personal time into your calendar and stick to it as if it's an important meeting. Instead of waiting for free time to pop up and then thinking "well now what?," put plans in place ahead of time on your calendar to take time for yourself. Maybe the first few hours on the calendar are spent reflecting about the activities you already enjoy or some new ones you want to check out. Then plan out when you're going to do them. An hour on Wednesday afternoon going for a hike at whatever trail, 2 hours Saturday evening watching your favorite TV show, 1 hour Friday night joining your friend for an event you've never heard of before. Be specific and be intentional with your time. I think you'll find that it helps your brain to still be in that "go get it!" mentality when you're actively and purposefully setting aside time for yourself to break up with monotony and relax your brain. It's not only good for your overall physical health, but it will help you avoid burnout and allow you to become happier and more productive with the time you do spend at work.

That's what I'd suggest you start working on. Start today by putting an hour block on your upcoming calendar to sit down and intentionally plan out when you will take time for yourself and what you might want to do. Then hold yourself accountable for relaxing and taking care of yourself just as you would a job responsibility.

Often times we get stuck in the what-if and it comes with a lot of anxiety and worry about trying to find the "right" thing to do or say. But what helps me is asking myself the question, "wouldn't you rather know?"

I've been denied by many beautiful women and I've been accepted by others I never thought I'd have a chance with. The only ones that I regret are the ones I never had the courage to ask. Life's short my friend, don't burden yourself with worry and wonder. Give it a try, just ask her honestly and be ok with whatever the answer is.

If she just wants to help with the house? Great, you have a better chance of becoming friends now that you're not worried about what she thinks of you. If she's unsure or says yes, then just let things develop as they will. Worst case scenario, she doesn't talk to you anymore...sad yes, but at least you can look for someone who wants you back!

If it's a fact then why did 240 scientists disagree? What were their findings? Science doesn't create facts, it supports or rejects hypothesizes based on the original question. Calling science fact was your first mistake. Missing the entire point of the argument by cherry-picking data sets that fulfill your narrative was the second.

So now you're making your own arguments away from your original position? Got any scientists to back up your preconceived ideas? Find me some peer-reviewed articles that suggest (not prove cause that's very rarely how science works) that the cells developed are not dolphin embryos first. Since we're just jumping to whatever conclusion fits our narrative now...

Sasha Cohen. Sadly it never quite all came together for her, but she was so elegant on ice.

I'd like to know where he got these "facts" because I know no such study with any validity exists. Did he just ask 4 high school students and call it an undeniable truth? That sounds like the kind of logic I'm used to from people like this.

Well that's a more specific situation. Personally I try to get things done ahead of time in group projects. That just feels respectful to the others. I can agree that it's a bit selfish to wait until the last minute when others can't get their stuff done until I do.

I just wanted to point out that procrastination shouldn't be considered selfish. Different people have different working styles that work best for them. It's a compromise to incorporate different working styles and the person who likes to do things right away and then relax should realize that there's other styles and not everyone can operate the same way as them.

Just stare into her eyes and the answer will be revealed.

No, I wouldn't. That's why they won't price it at $20. They're gonna have to figure something else out or just have a complete negative loss in the state. You can try to price gouge people but they'll likely just go somewhere else. This is some bs thinking through and through

This is something I'm currently studying for a class so this is really intriguing to me. For what it's worth, that task is not as easy as it seems and you can tell from others here (myself included as I often get frustrated by things like forgetting to send in a rebate form) that it may be more common for people to NOT accomplish this kind of task.

I just wanted to tell you that I hope you can feel some of that sense of accomplishment along with the relief. Whether it's hard or easy is irrelevant....you did it and that's what matters! Good work!

He's so much fun to watch. Been a fan of his for years!

THAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE TRUE!
