@binarydigit You’re an awesome human and deserve all the good things. :) I totally get that perfectionist mindset - 110% - it’s tough to get a handle on.
I know I’m looking forward to seeing how your sketching/drawing journey goes. Keep it up!
also, I am very sorry to hear about the work stress. ((hugs))
@binarydigit heyya 👋 I hope it’s ok to share some sentiments about goals that has helped me (ever since my body kinda gave out on me).
I like to think of progress as just doing the best I can on any given day. If I tried, it’s full marks, pass/fail sort of thing. :) it doesn’t need to be 100% every day to be considered a success.
I hope this helps you feel accomplished. You’re doing something really challenging and brave. Any effort you put towards your goal is 100% winning in my books. 🫶🏻
@binarydigit thanks so much for sharing your similar experience, makes me feel less alone. :) I think there is an ECG device you can carry with you that’s very small, wireless and does a 6 lead ECG - it’s like $150 bucks. Could be a decent trade off… have that in my EDC while wearing a more simple watch.
Also, I totally feel the “so why am I still wearing it” vibe.
Even though my Apple Watch saved me a few times (heart stuff) … I find myself really not enjoying having it on my wrist anymore. Buyers remorse? Possibly.
I don’t use it for notifications. I wear it mostly out of fear that I’ll have heart issues again and need to do a quick ECG to determine if it’s an ER trip for me.
I kinda want to sell it and get an old school watch that is more nostalgic and simple.
@richygarcia84 I am suuuuuuper stoked! Thank you, friend. I know @craftykraken was really surprised this morning and equally excited by your gift. Appreciate your thoughtfulness 💜☀️
I like to consider myself moderately intelligent but for some reason I just cannot get Obsidian built out the way that I want to. I’ve attempted multiple times over the years and it always just ends in wasted time and frustration.
That happened again today. Maybe I’ll just stick to digital note taking and go back to Notion?
I’m trying to build a tracker for school assignments, personal reading library, and a few other side projects. I’ll figure it out one day…
I’m testing out Proton Mail services and um… 3 days in I get a very suspicious phishing email. I cannot see which of my emails they sent it to because it’s some nonsense gibberish masked email address.
I’m sus. I literally *just* created these emails addresses and aliases.
I know folks might push back on this … but I really find my VR headset to be a source of self care. :1up:
It’s likely because I do super chill and relaxing stuff with it, like:
- fishing - virtual travel - puzzles - single player RPGs
It helps me disconnect and reconnect. It helps me feel less isolated. It provides a sense of accomplishment. It helps during the long, cold, dark winters here.
It’s all about how you use the tech, imho, and for me - it’s a life changer.
I’m open to adding friends to my account, so feel free to drop me your usernames. :)
