A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I want to be as efficient as possible for my job. So I can get as much done in as little amount of time as possible so I can get back to my life. Only goal

Careful, often times the reward for doing good work is more work.

This when you pad your time and set hard boundaries for what you can do. I like to schedule emails for later in the day. It helps that I work from home

Yep, you must maximize your efficiency then drip feed your employer with your output. Then enjoy the downtime talking with the colleagues you like, browsing the Internet, listening to music/watching a video, or even anything else if you can work remote at least from time to time.

My work ebbs and flows, yet I'm in the office for 8 hours or so a day, so being as efficient as possible all the time isn't a good fit for me.

Never for when you are in the office. Unless you can "work" by goofing around with coworkers or wandering around holding things while listening to podcasts
