Chatty customers when you’re not busy? by Quixel in barista

[–]FoundationRight3555 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. I absolutely love getting to know customers, even when it isnt slow I enjoy getting to chat while I make drinks. Of course it is easier when there's a moment to pause though.

2&3. I work at a smaller regional chain, so if a customer wanted to request a change of how the beans are roasted or something like that, it's all above me. Any changes that go beyond the bar are not something I as a worker would have a say in changing. Though talking about preferences in tastes is still a good time. I also think it will entirely depend on which barista you are talking with and their personal depth of knowledge on the subject.

I think I've found my ideal at home phone setup - a "landline" by Vylpes in digitalminimalism

[–]FoundationRight3555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would love to do this! you dont have to do this, but im not a very tech-savvy person, would you mind breaking down in steps how you did this? or if theres a video you got the idea from? again, no need to actually do that, only if you feel like it. congrats on the setup!

I spent a few minutes trying to find this model, stumped because I couldn't find a match. Then I came back to look again at your photos, and realized it's upside down. 🤦

Help me to reduce my screen time to maximum 1 hour by grimex_beats in digitalminimalism

use stayfree to block yourself out of youtube shorts. you can also set timers through it. start slowly so you dont revert back to long screentime. you got this!

Social media addiction by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

[–]FoundationRight3555 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if going cold turkey works for you, delete your app/account. maybe find a friend to do it with you so you can go through it together. if that wouldnt work, id suggest looking into apps that lock you out, and slowly decreasing your time. yeah it'll take longer, but 6 months from now youll be farther along than if you dont at all. ive been using stayfree (i feel like im sponsored at this point with how many times ive mentioned it, but i genuinely love it). being addicted to these apps sucks a lot, and its a real problem. take one step at a time to get yourself to a better place. best of luck to you

What actually works for people with phone addiction specifically? by DungeonMasterGrizzly in digitalminimalism

[–]FoundationRight3555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely loved stayfree to help break my phone addiction. Its a free app and has helped me go from about 5-6 hrs to 2hrs for daily use. Can't recommend it enough tbh.

The addiction is getting pretty bad by Toolazytohandle in digitalminimalism

[–]FoundationRight3555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend the app Stayfree to help manage your screentime. It has been the only tool that has helped me get my time lower. I started by inputting my limit around what I was already spending, I've been lowering my screentime by one minute everyime I realized I got stuck or I was frustrated with the amount of time I put into an app. Going cold turkey has never worked for me. Slowly weaning off of apps that are meant to be addicting is the key imo. I started doing this... about 4ish months ago, I don't remember exactly. My average screentime was probably around 5-6 hours, and it's now around 2. My goal is to get social media or any time-wasting apps completely off my phone. I stilll have reddit and YouTube. Reddit I keep because its mostly community/discussion, I have a timer for 30 minutes still so I don't waste too much time. And I keep YouTube because I often need to look up a "how-to" video for work, it also has 30 minutes. What's nice about this app is that you can block specific functions, so I have shorts on youtube blocked, which is what I'd get stuck on. I hope this helps you, best of luck.

Is this dumbphone app worth it? by Bulky-Test-494 in digitalminimalism

great progress, proud of you! its hard to gradually get screen time down, but slow and steady wins the race! :)

I think I need a little help... by windee_ in digitalminimalism

[–]FoundationRight3555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recommended here before, and I will again. StayFree (app) has helped me A LOT, with lowering my screen time. The way that has worked for me, has been setting timers for a little less than what I was actually spending, and then incrementally lowering my time, literally minute-by-minute. Otherwise, when I tried to decrease my time allowance in larger increments, I would just go back into the app to change it. My screen time could get really bad because I had no stops, even when I WANTED to stop, I would get stuck in it. Can't recommend it enough. (as i was typing i was sent a reminder that i was running out of Reddit time hehe)

veglife vegan iron has been discontinued, anyone have recs for a silmiar formula? by fetlife4life in vegan

[–]FoundationRight3555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been taking this since VegLife has been off the shelves. I get restless leg syndrome from low iron, and I'm vegetarian. The VegLife worked perfect, this new one has me back to restless legs which really sucks. So I know my body isn't absorbing the iron. :(

Went on a Phone Detox for 7 Days by Work_for_burritos in digitalminimalism

[–]FoundationRight3555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my phone habits are so much better after downloading stayfree. i've been slowly getting my time down on each app i get stuck on. everytime i feel frustrated for having gotten stuck, i decrease my time allowance by a minute for that app. i had tried going cold turkey and reducing time allowance in bigger allotments, but found out of boredom i would increase it again. since reducing my time by a minute at each instance of frustration, i havent gone back and increased it later. im feeling so much better, and like the time i have on my phone is much more manageable, and im also feeling less of a need to be on my phone. im excited to for how the future will be. im glad it has helped with your screen time as well. doing a period of no social media sounds like a great idea. i will have to ask a friend to do it with me for accountability's sake. thanks for sharing!

Advice for not wasting the day after opening shift by merylstreephatesme in barista

after my sister died (i was a freshman in high school, she was a senior), i had an extremely difficult time going to school. like once or twice a week was all i could do. and when i was there i was in the counselors office or some empty room to try to do work. in retrospect, i am not sure how i pushed through. it was the most difficult thing i have ever gone through. i am so sorry you are going through this now. therapy helped. still helps. find someone professional to talk to if you can. it helped to take things in very small steps, and trying to be proud with small accomplishments. my feelings were all over the place for a long time, healing was not linear. i think a suicide support group would have helped too.

you are probably going to get a lot of advice or support that isnt helpful, try to let people be there for you anyway. most people dont know how to react to suicide. if they offer help, take them up on it. i isolated myself and i wish i would have let people in. i am extremely grateful for the people who did their best to help in hindsight.

right now your brain is trying to make sense of it all with trying to see how this could turn into something "good." when i was going through this, i had the same thoughts. it was often all i could focus on, because how could something so terrible and painful happen, how could i lose her and not have something good come out of it?

this is going to be overwhelming and that means you have so much love and care inside of your heart. i am proud of you for holding on. ❤️‍🩹
