short story that inspired the Met Gala theme

My friends tease me about liking San Francisco, but I think it’s inevitable to have a warped, unrequited love for the place or person that first revealed you to yourself.

tldr lack of overlapping days off

it would probably cost too much energy to justify a vacation to the past

focus-keeping app

I didn't know about the transparent/maintainable requirement; had previously thought it was meant to be a thing to last independently.

was funny how much of this was relevant when released ("use this version of tasker and this version of android") but completely not relevant later

"How can I reduce my time here?" is a good followup question after finding out where one spends time

Convinced me to start using xfce timer, and it has already been useful!

More on the loneliness/time with people charts. That novelty and learning and socialising peak, then decline for the following decades.

Solutions:

1. scheduled, recurring social events with friends and family. Make it more automatic
2. Take a break every quarter. Design another level for for life's video game.
3. Learn how to learn
4. Celebrate the 25th birthday, like a passage into actual adulthood.
5. Create rituals.

I agree that flexing the boredom muscle is good, as is finding joy in time to yourself.
But don't know if embracing solitude is the right conclusion to draw from a chart of alone time increasing over lifespan.

Modal seems like a winner.

Lots on parenting and time. On choices to have kids, on free time, life satisfaction, population growth, ageing, and bunch of other random jumbles of life advice.

"For the first time since his creation man will be faced with his real, his permanent problem — how to use his freedom from pressing economic cares, how to occupy the leisure, which science and compound interest will have won.

If your hourly rate gets too high, how to justify doing anything that isn't billable?

THe daily work capacity estimate for different tasks is a great idea. Should do that.

Pretty damn hard to make things that last

Except the batteries on that rover are long dead. Many, if not all, of the plastic and paper insulators exposed to vacuum are now brittle and broken. All labels or painted surfaces are likely bleached white. Differential expansion during lunar daylight cycles has likely snapped a few things here and there too. Fifty years of exposure to static electric charges on the moon has put lunar dust in all sorts of places it doesn't belong.

Sorry for rushing this a bit, but got home yet?

Some good tips on ensuring things other than work happen.
