Me: Able to watch TV, have a snack, keep a conversation, and write 1000 words of fiction simultaneously

Also me: Requires perfect silence, controlled temperature, and adjusted lighting to spend 30-45 minutes determining where a single comma should go.

I find that if I retrace my digital steps, that is, reopen the exact web page I was on and reread the exact text I was looking at when I had the thought, sometimes the thought gets rethinked. It’s the best solution I’ve got so far. πŸ˜…

Instead of walking into a room and forgetting what I’m there for, I’m worse about wanting to look something up and then forgetting what it was before I can. πŸ˜…

Does anyone else get a mini burst of energy before getting sick? Like a day of productivity and feeling so great you just know what’s coming?

Also, who thought it was a good idea to give me a cold for my birthday?? 😷

How many books in the TBR pile on my bedside table do I have to read before I can justify buying more?? πŸ€”

I don't want to read a book written by AI.
I don't want to read a book half written by AI.
I don't want to read a book narrated by AI.
I don't want to read a book with an AI cover.
I don't want to read a book written by somebody who supports AI.

All I really want from MS Word is more highlighter colors for my text.

A zillion options for coloring text, but not for highlighting? Really??

Yeah, that’s also a good option. πŸ˜‚
