    Excel had some some absolutely amazing improvements "recently". But it's definitely a bit sluggish.

    My brother has it. He's considered fully disabled. I didn't know the definitely, but I know he had fairly severe knee and back problems, loss of hearing etc.

    I mean if you have a disability from serving, you deserve to be compensated, so it doesn't hurt to at least get evaluated.

    Yw. I have self diagnosed ADHD, my therapist says she has no doubt I have it. I'm high functioning at work. My biggest issues are when I'm concentrating I don't hear other people. When I'm not my brain is all over the place. So falling asleep and staying asleep has been difficult for me. Higher stress also impacts that.

    So the supplements and listening to something when falling asleep have helped. Guided meditation and or yoga Nidra help me calm down. I'm not sure what the main thing is, but when I combine all 3 I sleep much better.

    Trazodone makes me feel hung over. I take Apigenin and Magnesium Bisglycenate. These both have calming effects. I'll do a bit of Yoga Nidra to help calm down when I lay down to go to sleep. Or I'll listen to History podcasts. These have dramatically improved my ability to sleep.

    If I really want to get knocked out I'll take half a gummy that's higher in CBD.

    The time leading up to it is worse, the first week is really rough since it feels like something is missing and they are... But it gets better

    We had to put our girl down at the beginning of April this year. I still cry.

    Wishing you the best. Just know that you have her a wonderful life and did her a service in the end that we aren't even able to grant people.

    Take care.

    Yeah, pay is stagnant more likely as a result of a hot economy cooling.

    Companies are saying they have an AI plan and are looking into it, but this isn't translating into revenue or even material savings.

    I think those that have been got the hardest are gig workers where AI is good enough for smaller companies marketing.

    As a manager I tell people you suck at multitasking it's why you get nothing done.

    1. Turn off email notifications. If it's important sometime will IM or call. Handle those over an hour or less often if you can. Move emails that will such your time to an action folder. Deal with those one to two times a day.
    2. Block out time and focus on one topic. Make progress on those goals and projects. Do this in the morning.
    3. End of day review of what's still open and needs your attention. Set a list of topics for the next day.
