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)
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
