  • I turn the brightness on my phone as low as it goes, turn on night shift to get rid of blues, and read (white text on black background / dark mode).

    Don’t read in continuous scroll; find a way to turn the page with minimum animation.

    Read something you don’t find so compelling as to keep turning pages but enough that you’re happy to read.

    I find history books most successful at the moment since there is often no desire by the author to build tension, suspense, etc that keeps you alert.







  • My partner and I use a shared note app and collaborate on task lists so it’s less one person having to steer the other but more working together on the plan and figuring out what needs to be done.

    We then sort them by priority so that they can be chipped away at, one by one, in order.

    Get some little treats, eat one each time someone get a task completed, and any daunting set of tasks turns into a fun little game that starts anything off positively (treats rule).

    (Everyone is different so this might not work for you but might give you some ideas for what might work)








  • Hah, that music video is genuinely a pretty accurate depiction of your average England village’s May Day celebrations. I went to one this year, got drunk watching old men skipping about while wearing bells, kids tying up a pole with ribbon, folk band (minus the fabulous Mike Edmonds as seen is this video) playing fiddle and more, sitting around on a bunch of straw bales, and cuddled a goat kid while my dog obsessed over a Shetland pony until my partner told us to go home.
