idk maybe it's because I'm in college and perhaps this is the only time it's possible but I fully believe in work-life balance and setting concrete boundaries between your work-time & your self-time. Fuck any Outlook/Gmail/corporate mobile app, keep that shit ON YOUR LAPTOP and the moment you're clocked out, that laptop is SHUT and nothing is getting read til you clock in the next day (or til you need to open ur computer again ig)

I work from home so it's really tempting for me to just leave my work computer in "work" mode overnight - docker containers running, IDE hanging, slack notifs popping off, a bajillion tabs open. Close that shit down at 5pm. Aside from acting as a ritual to transition from work-life to life-life, it also gives you something concrete to start the next morning with while the coffee kicks in.

I have an hour to myself during the work day and I intend to NOT look at any work, my screen, my emails; be physically away from the desk at all costs! No one can talk to me, I can't pick up the phone and I'll maybe see a text if it's urgent. No one's lives are on the line though. Need to enjoy my break each day!!

nobody at your bullshit email job is going to perish if you are away from your computer for fifteen minutes. don’t clock out. get paid to be in the sun. relish in every moment that you have no Slack messages to answer and do something that counteracts the soul-crushing pain of staring at a screen all day. whether you rest your eyes, read a chapter of a book, walk around your block - whatever it is, steal time because your employer probably isn’t paying you well enough to merit staring into the Outlook abyss for eight hours.

I have to disagree with the people who say that we need to “stay” and “fight“ for IG to be a better platform because in actuality, it’s our presence and engagement that gives them data, and therefore money. As long as they have those 2 things, they make their bottom line and won’t really care about its users desires unless they’re making a move for the optics.
If we REALLY want to hold them accountable, we need to impact the money they make, which means permanently deleting or marking your account as inactive & never coming back. They’ll only care if they’re bleeding money— so make them bleed.

As someone who has terrible object permanence and can NEVER remember the existence of something if I can't see it (this includes objects AND goals), it was quite literally the best way to keep awareness of my long term goals, even when life started falling apart and getting hectic.
At the end of the year I always look at my vision board and realize that I genuinely fulfilled a good majority of the goals on there, and it's so sweet
Always keep your eyes on the prize yall and always dare to dream !!!
