On my personal Firefox, five pinned and usually 3-4 more. On my work Firefox, six pinned and 4-6 more in one window, and probably another 6-10 on a window in the other monitor.
If I can’t see at least part of the page title on each tab, I start feeling anxious. I do a lot of bookmarking, sending to Pocket, etc.
When I have issues eating I go for non-offensive foods that are easy to swallow such as a can of white beans in tomato sauce, plain full fat Greek yoghurt, oatmeal made with milk and not water, lentil soup. I sometimes make 1000 kcalorie smoothies with half an avocado, 2 tbsp peanut butter, cup of 10% fat yogurt, a banana, 1/2 cup oatmeal and enough orange juice to make it liquid. Will not win any taste awards but does contain a bunch of good stuff.
Several local (but national chain brand) furniture stores.
So many reasons. One had better quality furniture on display than what they sold by a long way. Another tried to give me not one but two firm mattresses instead of medium and lie to me about them. Yet another got caught out blatantly lieing to my face about delivery times and procedures.
All of them had great customer service right until the point that they had our money and then completely treated us like garbage afterwards.
It’s the first thing I do when installing a new app, as most prompt for it on first launch, and I reject it immediately. I can always allow them later, but it’s been my default mode since iOS started letting you control them.
For email and work IM’s, my phone shows only the badge, no sound. Signal, SMS, and the phone app get sounds, too. That’s it, silence on everything else.
Email, Signal and SMS get notifications. Literally everything else is off, and I use Buzzkill to shorten the vibrate. I have ASD, and run my own business, so I get literally 30-40 SMS/200+ Signal notifications a day, and the constant BZZZZ BZZZZ actually causes me an immense amount of sensory overload. Buzzkill ensures that vibration pattern is nothing more than a very quick sub-half second, one-off buzz. The number of apps I actually have installed is so few, I can literally fit them on one screen, no scrolling required, and I check for the few app updates I'll need manually each day.
I had a run of several good years where I was able to get out of bed after a few alarms.
Prior to that, and recently, it's been "automatic behavior" that is damnably difficult to control.
Context, significant sleep disorder here - but setting that aside, you're not alone.
Stuff I tried and discarded, but that might work for you
$friend please call me until I am awake enough to have a conversation
Boss, please ping me a ton of times in the AM (requires understanding and/or them to know what's going on)
Alarms all over the damn house .
Alarms locked inside of analog safes and other related silliness.
What worked ultimately, was a comb of meds and an amazing partner who helped support me through the various diagnoses, and etc. that came with it.
Sometimes, I still bump it be an hour, but I know that I did it. From where I sit, the idea of having no recollection of the 7:00 that you reset, but waking up for the 7:10, well that sounds likely to degrade going forward - and probably at the worst moment possible.
Last week was positively brutal to me, for a bunch of reasons. As the week wore on, my loving and persistent partner is the only reason I made it to the office. Two things net saved my tail - meds made a real difference once we sorted doses and such, but I would absolutely NOT be a productive professional today if not for my wife.
Some days, she just nudges when she hears the alarm go off. Some days, she has to hit me with a brick to get my attention. Neither is ideal, of course, but a supportive and loving person who is right there and knows how hard to shove you; and what to do when shoving that hard isn't enough. is life changing.
I know what works for me, open to a chat, might give you some ideas.
