This is something I’ve been working on for about 18 months now, and it definitely helps.

When I get home from work my phone goes in a different room and I don’t touch it at all. No laptop or iPad either. I usually read once our 5 year old is in bed and the dishes and chores are done and I get the chance to sit down.

I flew to North Qld and back a few weeks ago, ‘rawdogged’ it.

My ‘online’ time is during breaks/lunch at work and that’s it. I deleted Instagram a couple of years ago and haven’t had Facebook since 2008.

I drive to work and back with NOTHING playing, no podcasts or music or anything, 3-4 hours of driving per day.

Being ‘in the moment rather’ than being attached to a screen or ‘content’ has really helped. Although I’ve found it DOES make me irrationally angry when I walk around (or even am at other family member’s houses) and everyone is glued to their screens. Not to mention the at least 1 person a month I see watching YouTube while driving on the freeway…

It’s the food truck that also scratches you and pushes things off your shelves while making full eye contact.

Oh crap… in this message thread I’m now beween Cat(fish) and bacon… RIP me :D

In my experience, NOTHING stands between cat and bacon. It’s a scientific fact.

Because the robots might study and use the eggs as the first part of a plot to breed a race of genetically-enhanced super-chickens, which will become the physical muscle needed in their plan to Kill All The Humans, of course.

Gotta stop that shit before it starts, y’know.

My mother in law gave our 5 year old a very loud toy WHISTLE… sounds like you mix in the same circles 🤣 👿

And HERE is my Catch-22 😁

I used to do that but then I’d be wiped out and wrecked for the entire day.

For me exercise can only happen if I have nothing else left to do afterwards!

Nothing like a little Rapid Unscheduled Dissassembly for a Monday arvo.

😒

/s 🤧

I thought they ended it well, still clearly ‘scripted’ but not TOTALLY over the top, and you could tell they were genuinely enjoying themselves. Nice way to close it all off at the very end too.

Between this and Danny Ric it’s been a helluva fortnight for us motoring/motorsport fans. WHO IS NEXT?!?

Sleepy because straight after getting back to Melbourne last night and with a 5am wake-up this morning, I still stayed up to watch the F1, couldn’t miss Danny’s last race. But oh man seeing his post-race interviews this morning… when even the interviewers are crying 😭

I agree it’s time for him to step aside, but still not an easy watch for someone who’s been a fan since 2011.

Don’t make me boycott your food truck 🤣

OK I’m awake now! :D

Oh man, those were the days!!!

They had the pre-made 20c bags but nope, we always had to stand there at the counter peering and pointing through the glass and choosing our lollies.

To their credit, not once were the older couple that ran the milk bar ever short or grumpy with the kids in our neighbourhood, I think they secretly loved it =)

Got anything on board that can help one recover from a food coma?

MAY have already eaten way too much… :|

That’s the plan! In fact I’m just about to tuck in to my meal! My Succulent Italian Meal! :D

Edit: ELO are awesome. That is all.

I’m so jelly of the WFH! I’m on track to get everything finished on time thankfully. It’s just annoying that there’s heaps I could have had done already were it not for the dragging of heels by others!

My wife’s pasta, sauce, and killer meatballs (all home-made of course or her Italian mother would disown her!), will surely put me into a food coma for the latter part of the day however :D

Ha almost sounds like my day, I’m on leave at COB and on a plane first thing in the morning, but have a STACK to get finished here at work.

Downsides for me are being onsite in a windowless dungeon (yay for IT getting the least habitable spot on the site…!) and not having the awesome music!

Plus-side, I have some kickass leftovers from last night for lunch - I’ve been looking forward to today’s lunch since I finished dinner last night!

5 hours 18 minutes to go…
