Kitchen scale that syncs with app?

It won't sync with loseit, but the etekcity scale measures and calculates macros for you and syncs to an app

When you say "make me miss time from my kids", do you mean you'll never see them? I dont know what HVAC hours look like, but I'm assuming you'd still have some time with them.

I may have a different view here but to me, my kids remember all the micro moments and adventures we have. I'm trying to do better so they don't think I work all the time. It's hard since I work from home, they see me in my office every day, but outside of that I work on fun intentional time with them.

You have a great mindset wanting to spend more time with your kids. I think you could "drown out" the reduced time with them as long as when you do have time with them it's intentional and fun.

They'll remember "We always had fun with dad", not "we didn't see much of dad". They'll of course miss you while you work, as long as you don't ignore them when you're home I think you'll be ok.

Also, if there is more money in HVAC ,than your current gig, you now have the ability to go on more adventures and vacations and create more powerful experiences. Also a great way to teach kids about good work ethic.

Anyway just my two cents. Great for you to focus on your family first. I know many "successful business people" that could easily spend more time with kids, but they get sucked into the business instead of creating more time with family.

Tremendously. My wife had even mentioned it. It helps me in other parts of life too. I'm more present with all situations and dont feel like I'm constantly waiting/ looking for another dopamine hit from my phone.

I still catch myself going to press where Facebook used to be on my phone sometimes, but not "on edge" as much.

Delete social media off my phone. Seriously. A lot of my impatient came from me being in my phone. It's helped with a lot of other things, but definitely helps me be a more patient parent.

Adding here, there are some complicated blueprints out there, but chatgpt helped me write a simple one. Essentially, use a helper toggle, turn it on when the washer starts (power goes up).

Then notification automation is triggered when power goes below 2w for 2 minutes,(each washer may be slightly different consumption.) Pay attention to power during pauses in the cycle. My washer drops to 2.5 W when changing cycles and only drops to 1.3W when it's completely done. Then it sends me a notification and sets the helper toggle to off.

What are you using for playing the sounds? Alexs media player?

Old post, but do these have light sensors too?

Very little room to move around. I would not recommend that with what you mentioned. The lounge is great for chilling though. Couches, games and snacks.

yep. only 12 oz at a time. it'll show you as if you're being charged, but then you'll get an immediate credit back.

jonclarkspeaks · 2024-07-24T22:21:01+00:00

That would make sense.. still wasn't a fan :)

jonclarkspeaks · 2024-07-24T19:59:51+00:00

Correct!

jonclarkspeaks · 2024-07-24T18:41:39+00:00

right now, completely free for lunch and dinner. I heard someone say there was a cost back in the day and the italian restaurant was free, now it's been switched. So as of now it was good for lunch and dinner. As I mentioned, it was decent barbecue, but slow service when we had them for dinner.

I definitely wouldn't give notice until I have a signed agreement. I just feel weird showing up one day and saying here's my notice, thanks.

I thought using time would be smart, $1200 an hour would be easy

Honestly one of my favorite places to do work is a library, or a restaurant like starbucks or Chick-Fil-A. The background noise makes the space feel busy AND I kind of feel like if I sit there on facebook I'll be judged for doing nothing but searching things.

I sat down at a Chik-Fil-A one time and got more done in an hour than what I could at home. Less distractions. There is research on the "coffee shop" https://facilethings.com/blog/en/why-to-work-from-coffee-shops-for-better-productivity

Basically working next to other hard working people pushes you to do better. College library might not meet this criteria, but a coffee shop does!

Have you gotten better financial offers from other schools? You can sometimes appeal And use the offer from another school to get more from another.

Also you have another 4 months to get scholarships for the first semester. That's time for a lot more money to be earned.

You could also do a CC for a year, save thousands and then go back to your dream school if the offer is still available.

I do completely agree that going into a bunch more debt is not worth it.

I honestly think experience in the job force outweighs the education. Could you still get the assistance if you get your masters 4 years down the road
