At its core, my problem is that I tend to get angry and frustrated with myself, instead of being kind to myself. Self-kindness is easier said than done.
Pomodoro is just a structure that helps me to be kind to myself. Feel free to adapt it to your own needs, as long as it helps you to be kind to yourself and “reset” from distractions.
Thanks, TIL
How is SteamOS on the Deck dealing with this? I thought they also used gamescope
Use gamescope to run the game under Wayland. Gamescope creates an XWayland window (for which you can specify things like resolution, upscaling, and refresh rate) to run the game in, so the game can pretend it’s under X11, and gamescope interacts with Wayland.
The Pomodoro method works for me. Set a timer for 25 minutes. Decide the task (or task list) you’re going to do. Make it as specific as possible, for example “write 10 ideas of things to do at work next year and rate them by how desirable and achievable they are”. Then start the timer and do the task. When the timer goes off, you have to take a 5 minute break. Whether you’ve been productove or distracted, doesn’t matter. You HAVE to take a break. Drink something, go to the toilet, reply to a message whatever. Timer goes off after 5 minutes of break time. You’ve got a fresh start to try again.
For me, the first pomodoro is often wasted, sometimes even the first 2, but the forced break (I only have 25 minutes to a “deadline”) and mental reset afterwards help to create that setting to be productive.
I think Plato said philosophers like him should have power. Philosopher-Kings.
More of a Lenin vibe
Windows XP… such expressive, truly material-like, design, only Vista comes close. But XP ran so much better.
Don’t listen to him! Just start using Nix to manage dependencies and dev environments for your projects but keep your OS the same until you are really good at Nix
Only dragons, right?
