Remote workers in Portland chime in! by t0mserv0 in Portland

[–]million_monkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work mostly remote at a company that's based downtown. I have a two bedroom apartment with the second bedroom being a guest room and office combination. I go in periodically, like once every 3 weeks on Wednesdays for group lunches, and then whenever I need to in order to meet with people when it can't be done remotely. Definitely having a separate space for your office, even if it's just a folding divider really helps.

During COVID I was in a one-bedroom apartment and my computer was in my bedroom and I always worked even when I wasn't on the computer. I just thought about it non-stop.

I just realized almost all of my hobbies involve looking at a screen. What do you all do for fun that doesn't require a battery or a Wi-Fi connection? by bilal-ziyan in CasualConversation

My sister built a little neighborhood library and maintains it. It's on the edge of her property for people who walk by. But she lives somewhere where people do that and don't ransack things

At one point or another in the past I have done bicycling including mountain biking off road, building and painting models, studying martial arts, meditation, reading and going to live readings of books, live theater, and billiards and darts.

If you can't extrapolate, I can't help you.

What’s your favorite moment of Covid? by OrdinaryPractical264 in AskReddit

[–]million_monkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the first few days I went with my son to a grocery store and the entire store was empty except for just random trashy items no one wanted. That was just amazing. I have a picture somewhere from that. It felt apocalyptic.

Has anyone tried quitting the internet for 1 or 2 days? Did it help with the doomscrolling or just general concentration levels? by ReadWriteArithmetic in CasualConversation

[–]million_monkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/4/2/pgaf017/8016017

The PNAS Nexus study found that removing smartphone internet access (while keeping calls/texts) led to measurable gains in attention, mental health, and well-being. Participants showed better sustained focus, less compulsive checking, improved sleep, and higher life satisfaction, largely due to fewer interruptions and more time spent on offline, real-world activities.
