They ran the train but lockdown started the next day so my 8 day trip was off. Then they said you couldn’t get a refund on advanced tickets but could rebook later (at extra cost) up to a certain date but who knew when lockdown would end? I wouldn’t have been able to get more leave anyway. Then they said a few days later that advance ticket refund would be given but when I applied they said “Too late, it’s after the date you were due to travel”. Every other company I’d booked with gave refunds even those bookings that were non-refundable. It looks like Caledonian Sleeper’s days might be numbered anyway. Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.
I tried keeping up with bookmarks before I entered this stage of tabbed life. I have 1378 bookmarks, almost all of them neglected at this point. Bookmarks are good though. How many do you have?
No more than around 10, I actively try to keep the number of tabs I have in check. Sometimes I quit the browser and reopen tabs again as a way clear my head.
The best thing I found is a product called SSSCAT. It is basically canned air with a motion sensor on it. When your cat gets near it, it lets out a small burst of air. I bought one a few years ago to keep our cat away from the Christmas tree.
Now if there is something I want to keep the cat away from, I just place it there for a few days. After that she’ll tend to leave it alone for a long while. She is obsessed with chewing on cords, so I just move it around the house anywhere there are cords she can get to. 90% of the time I don’t even need to turn it on. Just seeing the can keeps her away.
That’s pretty interesting, I find myself doing that with 3-5 youtube videos at a time. I’ll watch maybe two and eventually close the window and lose the others.
unless they’ve changed it, removing videos from the list I don’t want to watch always felt like a hassle, closing tabs is easier and has an easy “undo” function
I have all notifications turned off except the following:
Texts, calls, and calendar events are the only things that can make sound or vibrate.
Discord, Snapchat, and OneDrive* pop up but they’re silent. (*I have like 100k pictures going back 20+ years and like seeing the On This Day galleries)
I know I want some of them and I don’t have infinite apps, so whichever one’s irritate me after a few notifications I long press and disable that notification.
After a few weeks or so you just get the notification you care about
I also have all notifications disabled, except the ones I really need (texts, calls, calendar, email and others like this). I don’t like that every time I look at my phone to have tens or hundreds of notifications that I am not interested in, I want to have only what I need to see.
Not plants per se, but we had a problem with one of our cats jumping up in the kitchen counter. So we put a few coins in a coke can and then shook it furiously every time he jumped up. You have to watch them for a while, but it doesn’t take long for them to learn.
