I recently watched this video where they describe using the VOMIT system for things to write in your journal. He described it as life changing.

  • Vent - start with what makes you angry to clear your head
  • Obligations - collect, organize, and prioritize your obligations
  • Mindset - reframe how you view things in your life to hopefully be more objective or positive about things
  • Ideate - brainstorm about things
  • Trajectory - focus on getting your life heading in the direction you want

Indigenous peoples day is an actual holiday and the dual to Columbus Day though.

Or in the case of Alabama, your gene pool doesn't seem to have a deep end.

I personally welcome alternative options to 12 step. IMHO, there's multiple paths to recovery and having options is a good thing.

Google says this documentary is on Netflix for those also curious. Haven't logged in to verify, but maybe someone else can fact check that.

Just got in a set of new monitors, laptop, and docking station for work. Gonna be redoing my office setup. Looking forward to upgrading to 4k monitors and also adding a vertical monitor for reading or stacking smaller windows.

I'm currently in the process of building my first mechanical keyboard. I have a Lily58 mostly assembled, in the troubleshooting steps now. It's been a fun project so far.

What are your hobbies? (self.asklemmy)
submitted 1 month ago by avguser to c/asklemmy
 

I've been stuck in the work, recharge, repeat cycle for about a decade now. I'm looking to get back into hobbies and activities to enjoy my free time and possibly meet other folks.

I've heard you should have 3 types of hobbies: something to keep you fit, something to keep you creative, and something that can make some money. I've considered gym/triathlon (fitness) and woodworking (creative/income).

What are your hobbies? Anything you recommend I try out?

My wife bought me ADHD is Awesome by Kim and Penn Holderness. It does a good job of describing how Penn's brain works differently and how he and his wife have learned to accommodate it successfully.

Side note, it's tough for me to sit down and read so I'm slowly making my way through it to learn how to best manage myself. But from what I've read so far, I've had many AHA moments I've shared with my family or "this is me!"

 

1 hour @ 250F on the smoker. Finished at 425 in the oven to crisp up. Gonna toss them in homemade buffalo sauce and serve with curly fries.

Shuffling around my peppers to make room for the tomatoes I just planted up.

I'm gonna be a dad! (self.dadworld)
submitted 7 months ago by avguser to c/dadworld
 

We're at the hospital now and we can't wait to meet our little one. Mom's doing great after they placed the epidural. Excited to join the Dad crew with you all. :)

 

I have a unique name, think John Doe, and I'm hoping to create a unique and "professional" looking email account like [email protected] or [email protected]. Since my name is common, all reasonable permutations are taken. I was considering purchasing a domain with something unique, then making personal family email accounts for [email protected] [email protected] etc.

Consider that I'm starting from scratch (I am). Is there a preferred domain registrar, are GoDaddy or NameCheap good enough? Are there prebuilt services I can just point my domain to or do I need to spin up a VPS and install my own services? Are there concerns tying my accounts to a service that might go under or are some "too big to fail"?

I can expand what hangs off the domain later, but for now I just need a way to make my own email addresses and use them with the relative ease of Gmail or others. Thanks in advance!!

Dry January (self.stopdrinking)
submitted 11 months ago by avguser to c/stopdrinking
 

Noticed today in the daily check-in that someone stumbled into the community and committed to not drinking today. Pretty cool!

Are we able to drum something up to encourage a larger participation in a Dry January across the fediverse? I'm not sure how to spread the word, but I've always been a fan of pairing new years resolutions with sober curiosity.

I'd certainly be motivated to actively participate.

I just ate a s'more... (self.casualconversation)
 

...and it was amazing!! The fact that this delicious treat is reserved for camping trips is a shame. A bit too rich to have more than one, so the bright side is we have extras to do it again!
