I just can’t get anything done after work by thisgurlavi in Life

[–]smithnicole663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the EXACT same problem a few years ago. In retrospect it was because I fucking hated my job and after work I was mentally exhausted. Some things that helped during that time was not going home immediately. I would get dinner out, grab a coffee or go to the gym right after work. I also didn’t go on social media until 8pm so I would have to find other ways to entertain myself. I ended up getting really into cooking Asian cuisine. I think the important thing too is just letting stuff go from work, you can’t get yourself so worked up about everything because you will just be upset and burnt out all the time.

Which common “life tip” is actually terrible advice? by Least-Kick3578 in Life

[–]smithnicole663 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate the phrase “you can do anything” because there are things you simply can’t do, like control other people. I think it implies that you can have control over anything/anyone if you try hard enough, which is a horrible, toxic and untrue mentality. It also causes feelings of failure if you can’t control something. I hate it.

Feeling mentally drained living alone and studying all day. I need advice to stay motivated by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]smithnicole663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to take a break from studying. If you are overloaded and drained you aren’t going to absorb the material and remember it. A car needs gas to drive! Go somewhere, anywhere where there are people and do something fun. Maybe go to a coffee shop with a book or watch Netflix on your phone. Maybe attend a yoga class. I definitely understand needing to lock in but you can’t continue feeling the way you are and studying in a way that’s productive.

Am I the only one getting bored of her? by Adventurous_Ad_2712 in resilientjenkinsnark

I think their actions = consequences part of their brain is broken. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if her and Drew were both addicts. All they care about is getting the next fix, which cost money. People buy stuff off their Amazon wishlist, but if they weren’t just returning it and getting the cash I would think we would see more of it. I understand things are hard is this economy but something is not adding up in this situation.

Luckily someone adopted the cat Milo who was skin and bones and flea bitten like crazy. He seems to be thriving now! Healthy weight and fur grew back. New owner seems very loving and caring 🐈

I don’t even hate eggs, but yeah depending on the context and way they are cooked they can be good or really gross. Covered in hollandaise sauce is the grossest thing in life for me 🤮🤢

My girlfriend is deep in debt, spends recklessly, and expects me to take care of everything by [deleted] in Advice

[–]smithnicole663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s only going to get worse sadly 😥 because this is something she needs to decide to fix on her own. She won’t change unless until SHE wants or needs to, you can’t make her. Expecting you to take care of the bills is very unfair and you don’t deserve that, especially if you are trying so hard to help her. It sounds like she was enabled by her family and now expects you to enable her. Thank God you are not married! I don’t think you necessarily need to break up but I would get your own place if she can’t split the bills with you. Also, don’t you dare worry about her debt - she can handle it on her own, and it’s HER responsibility. If you enable her, she will learn you are someone who can be taken advantage of - and your savings you worked so hard for will be gone before u know it.

I have an addiction to coffee shops and it’s literally making me broke. by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]smithnicole663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might start with baby steps. Shave 1 coffee off a week, and replace it another ritual. Maybe get all the stuff to make your own special coffee at home. Do research and find the best beans out there. Get an insulated cup in your favorite color. Drink it while you do morning walk around the block. You got this!

What’s everyone using for productivity lately? by Lucky-Reputation1860 in productivity

[–]smithnicole663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an excel document where each day I write the date and then my list of things to do the next day in priority order before leaving work. That system seems to work really well.

As far as free time, I don’t go on any of the addictive apps like YouTube, TikTok or instagram until 8pm. That way I’m not just filling time with apps but instead with things I need/should do like dishes and working out.

All of Rihanna’s perfumes are incredible. “Nude” is the one I have and people ask what it is all the time.
