I have a dedicated work shirt only worn while at work

This is a good one that often goes unspoken. It enforces role play.

It's a lot easier than I initially thought: just write down a high-level, abstract sentence fragment of what needs to be done. Get it off your chest and put it in ink (or pixels?). Then ask yourself: how can I split this into two parts? Rinse and repeat.

The initial limiter for me was anxiety and fear about it. Once I got into the habit, the limiter was avoiding hyperfocus and micromanaging myself in the project plan. I try not to break things down beyond 1-2 hour tasks.

I had to learn to be my own PM and do the whole task grooming bit. Checking things off gamified the process.

How to make lots of friends and enrich the lives of everyone around you:

  1. Play Kenya
  2. Lock screen
  3. Go to lunch

Maybe if Zuck & Meta want to continue to present themselves as an elite & cutting edge tech company, they should avoid using dated buzzwords like "organic" in official communications. It makes them look like a has-been.

I haven't tried it for them, but the --no-install-recommends and delete list/package cache nags are some "doh" things I tend to forget.

It's likely not the full story, but there were some crazy export restrictions in the 90s. Apple made a commercial poking at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjkoYlpf3EA

They use Atlanta Metro, AWS and GCP as far as I know. I want to say they own the Oregon DC but can't remember.

Titles are bullshit.

Worth repeating - seniors, leads and managers were all associate vice presidents in a number of banks that I've worked with. Most thought the title was only worth an eye roll.
