@nur_lita Maybe the Monday morning briefing? It can feel like a lot to jump into right away! Hope the rest of your day goes smoothly!

Honestly, I would be so happy to miss that two-hour Zoom this afternoon. It’s not as if it would contain some juicy discussions; as we all know, it’s mostly going to be updates that are better off sent through a Slack message anyway.

I would want to skip decision fatigue today, if possible. Making thousands of little decisions every day spends energy needed for much bigger anthropoid thoughts.

Tax filing. Just the thought of wading through numbers and forms fills me with dread. I'd just as soon let someone else deal with it while I focus on literally anything else!

Abdul Rehman · Answer

@don_john1 It's amazing how all those little decision can add up and drain your mental energy. It's like the mind needs room for the bigger more creative idea to flow. A mental reset could make all the difference!

This is how I eat. Stand in line at the coffee shop. No question about it. Why does it always seem that the person in front of me calls for the most complicated drink ever? Just let me grab my coffee and go!

And meal prepping for the week is such a chore. Don't you think it would be nice to cook healthy meals ahead? Then comes that endless chopping, cooking, and cleaning.

@tjlarkin Coffee is basically the MVP of those unnecessary meetings.

TJ Larkin · Answer

Monday meetings that could've been emails! Pretty sure they're the reason coffee was invented.
