Thank you for sharing, Manuel Moe. 25 minutes like the perfect segment of time for working.

That is, intuitively, how long I practice guitar/ukulele on the nights I have spoons for it.

Like my moral hero Goldilocks, we can find that amount of time that is not too short and not too long. 25 minutes sounds exactly right.

25 minutes of programming. Pathetic. :oops: But it is better than zero minutes of programming! :D

Yeah, I feel more capable now. Still feel overwhelmed by the length of my to-do list, but at least i found the 25 minutes of programming is not impossible.

I have to introduce my therapist to spoons theory.

Anyway, Oak, you are the best. You don't know how seen I felt when I saw your reply. I just hope I can return a fraction of the favor back to you.

another 25 minute programming day.

the slowest programmer ever, and can only work 25 minutes a day doing it

i had a friend in high school who was also a programmer, bet he would laugh at me

of course, i program very carefully, because me mind goes immediately to what can possibly go wrong (thank you, anxiety!)

so i always improve the systems that i program against

and my mask hurts my ears, lol, i am full of self-doubt and complaints

i walked today, which makes me feel better

i will take my break, and then another 25 minutes timed doing paperwork chores

i hope everyone is healthy, happy, and safe. i have a bad feeling that many of my friends are under housing insecurity. i can pray and send good vibes. i wish life was easier on the good people i have found
