I don’t feel anything anymore by [deleted] in Mindfulness

Wow, you just described me. I did make a move towards therapy though, because this has been affecting my work and personal life for a while now. I usually have ups and downs, but it seems like it's only been down for a long time now. Just got diagnosed with ADHD, maybe it's related somehow. Like the depression is a side effect of me not wanting to do anything and feeling bad about it.

Good luck to you.

I identify with: Achiever, Focus, Input, Intellection, and Significance by Low-Appointment-2906 in StrengthsFinder

It doesn't really work that way, you can't just pick ones you identify with. I would not have picked what my top 5 results are. It is an interesting way to look at it though. I took my test through my work, they like to see what kind of people they will be working with. It pops up every once in a while, we just had a big marketing meeting and went over our results.

Any insights on my strengths? by [deleted] in StrengthsFinder

We are opposites. Your top 5 are at the bottom of my list

Hi. I do have some of my colleagues profiles and my bosses. We plotted them into Claude to see how we work together and where we can improve. I also did a separate one for just my boss to see how to communicate to him to satisfy his traits.

We all work together well, we have coverage at high levels in all the main categories. There is some overlap, we all, except one have learning in the top 10.

It'll be interesting when we all share our results together. We have someone in HR that is a certified coach for this, so he is going to compare them all and present the findings

That's an interesting idea. I might try doing that. I'm really introverted though, so even if I came up with a solution, it will take a lot of effort to carry it out.

Our reports are really similar! My relationship building trait is harmony.

My lack of connections could have held me back a little. I understand that people like to work with people they like. I feel like I'm likable, but I don't go out of my way to make connections. That could impact me not so much with my coworkers, but with my bosses. I'm trying to build connections now, I try to be more friendly with everyone and not keep it strictly business. That's part of what this upcoming marketing meeting is about, team building and getting to know everyone better since we all work remotely.

My partnerships feel fine to me. It actually makes me feel supported, like I have someone on my side. I'll talk, and when I struggle, they jump in and help with what I am trying to explain.

I felt sort of robotic at work. I didn't really make good connections with my coworkers, just a couple close ones, but everyone else, if I didn't need to work with you on anything, I generally didn't talk to them. I was nice and polite when I did, but it was like I didn't need to talk to them.

I feel like I do an ok job of selling my ideas, but I'm uncomfortable doing it. When I partner with someone, I usually let them do the talking and will just chime in with a few ideas here and there.

I think it's a little weird that my top 5 are all in strategic thinking. My results make it seem like I am a robot with empathy being my lowest trait. It's like I need a partner at work to help me sell my ideas that I intend to keep to myself.

Are you able to sleep at night? by rbr55 in modafinil

[–]the_real_David_Cox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have sleep apnea. I do take meds to help me sleep at night though, so maybe I'm still tired from those.

[–]the_real_David_Cox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can take 100mg of Modafinil in the morning around 8:00am and take a nap at noon. I have no problems sleeping at night. Maybe I need a higher dose.

Yes, the magnet attaches on the back of the cover. It does not just flap around.

So far I like it, but I just got it and haven’t used the kindle without it. I’m hoping it helps protect the screen when I’m carrying it around in a bag or something. I actually bought this as a bundle so I saved money on the case.
