"Don't be disappointed by the results you didn't get for the work you didn't do..."
Sometimes the most effective messages are also the most painful to accept...
I use this phrase ALL the time.

Seeing all the posts for the #TheMuppets and totally understand the nostalgia. I felt it too
It's not just that the new show took us back to our childhoods, to a more innocent time
It's that we're surrounded by so much anger and bad behavior at the moment. Who wouldn't want to escape that?

Trying to work at my local coffee shop and the number of guys - all guys of course - walking round and talking loudly on their headsets and phones is driving me crazy.
I mean, you can see that there are people on laptops working and people reading, right?

You ever have those days where everything you write has a typo in it. You can't seem to spell. And you keep repeating the same words over and over from one paragraph to the next...
Yep, that's me today!

Every time I go back to visit family in the UK, a cream tea is essential.
But it HAS to be clotted cream.
I vividly remember one trip to London - in a tourist trap cafe - where the waitress served scones with SPRAY CREAM.
Blasphemy!

I think one of the big movements in the future will be a pushback against tech and a craving for device free spaces.
Phone-free dinners. Less filming at concerts and events. Laptop free vacations
I want the tech advantages of today - but yearn for the presence of yesteryear

I love Abba but hate Dancing Queen. Like Heart but can't stand Barracuda. And think Queen are great but loathe Bohemian Rhapsody...
Anyone else like a band - but hate their biggest song?

Thinking of switching up my workout schedule now I have more time on my hands.
I’m a morning person and love getting training wrapped early. But I know I lift heavier later in the afternoon and it breaks up the day.
When do you guys train - and why?

Now that I am officially back in the freelance world I have to say:
Working 50 weeks a year - with just 2 weeks off - which has been my life since late 2021 - is a really crummy way to live…

I love when financial 'experts' on Threads offer little tidbits like... 'if you put aside 100 dollars a day by the end of ten years you'll have over half a million dollars'
As though most people out there aren't literally just trying to make it through the month...
