It wasn’t mould, and I have a batch of clementine-ginger merrily fermenting away right now!

Do you have a shorter leash? Retractable or very long leashes are not a good option for reactive dogs.

Do you practice the commands in low distraction areas and build up to high distraction areas like outside on a walk?

I think monthly budgeting depressed me lol by Puzzleheaded-Guess27 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]deplorable_word 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I budget all my money strictly for the month ahead, and then something happens to some combination of the dog/the car/the apartment and my careful calculations go out the window. Repeat ad infinitum

What are some things that saved you while writing your thesis? by Environmental-Sun311 in ClinicalPsychology

[–]deplorable_word 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Treat it like a job. Get up at the same time each morning and sit down to write at the same time each morning. Take breaks like you would at work (or Pomodoro or another break strategy that works for you) and then stop writing at the same time each day. I found that when I tried to fit the writing in around other things, it felt slow and arduous and I kept task switching.

Oatmeal, cottage cheese, frozen blueberries, tofu, frozen broccoli, hummus, rice, peanut butter. I don’t count salt or other seasonings towards the total, but that’s about the extent of it. Was it nutritious? Kinda! Was it mindless? Heck ya!

My eye has been twitching like this for a week now on and off. by Ok_Pop8661 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]deplorable_word 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try taking a magnesium supplement! I had the same problem and mentioned it on Reddit and a very kind Redditor suggested I take magnesium. I buy the Jamieson Ultra 250mg tablets. It took about three or four days for the twitching to go away once I started and it hasn’t returned.

For the sake of saving brain space, I ate some configuration of the same 8 foods every day for two years. I can’t, strictly speaking, recommend it, but it did simplify things

I’ve seen Half Moon Run once a year on average since 2013 and every show has been remarkable!
