compulsively needing to achieve QB every day even though its not fun and rather frustrating and now I see words that dont exist all the time. in terms of entertainment value to time spent or even impressing other people to time spent it is atrocious compared to the other things you can do on the app. It is for retirees that need to waste time until they die. It is not for 23 year olds that need to get their bag up. But alas.

There's nothing quite like getting up in the morning, having a wee snack and a big mug of coffee, and doing the NYT Spelling Bee while I wait for my Vyvanse to kick in. It's a little game on the NYT games app (yes I shell out the $ for it every month) where you try to come up with 4+ letter words using the select letters you are given that day. It makes me feel smart and like my brain is working and warming up (as opposed to scrolling on IG and a surplus of numbness). 🧠💪

Posting this only so people know the NYT games of wordle, connections and the mini crossword etc are FREE everyday. I think if you’re really good at the spelling bee and are going up past 30 points (and who is?) you have to be a paid subscriber, but you can get basic brain training every morning for FREE. Better than Wordscapes and no ads! Let’s all delay dementia together.

You dont have to do the mental math each time you look at it— which takes away a lot of the need to consciously note the time which takes away the need to consciously remember to check the time. then when you look at it as you do the dishes or cook you actually start to passively notice how much time is being spent.
and you can tell in the morning exactly if you’re extra late to work because it’s right there even if you dont want to check your phone to admit to yourself you’re late for work.
And I’m sure theres something about having more trust in the things around you that allays some inner havoc

It is so easy to cook for at least two
1. Getting a thank you kiss
2. Not more difficult than cooking for one
3. and you are rarely left with too many gross leftovers
