This time with the young Miss, who is WAY faster than myself!!!
Is there an Olympics of running in airports?
18 minutes from the plane to the bus including two flights of stairs (with the trolley and 3 bottles) and a hiccup with the passport control machine!
Thank you Julio for helping me!!
I could not have done it without your help!
I have a very bad feeling about this...

The spherical building appears metallic and incomplete, with visible scaffolding and internal framework, giving the humorous impression that the U.S. government is building a real Death Star next to the White House.
Wait a minute...

Picture of a page from the journal "Nature", which begins: Scientists need more time to think E-mails and instant messaging are core to research - but also a distraction. Researchers should study their impact on science, and how they can claw back time to concentrate.
Scientists need more time to think and so do I. So do you.
Emails and messaging are the OG brainrot, and scrolling makes it so much worse.
I've spent a lot of coaching time with clients on creating more distance from their phone, literally and figuratively. Much benefit.
Now I wish I could fit a treadmill in my house!
(Never thought I would say this!)
I totally agree that many of these Netflix series would be perfect to watch on a treadmill!
And I would feel much less guilty if I were watching them while treadmilling (or cycletting for what matters)!

ADHD is wild. It impacts different people's lives so differently.
For folks who have a natural interest in academics, ADHD hyperfocus can supercharge learning and achievement.
For folks who don't have this interest, however, ADHD can make academics feel like a challenge to just survive
Guys, bowling is amazing!

βI always use the example: imagine a candle. Now, AI can help you improve the candle. It will be the brightest ever, burn the longest, be very cheap and amazing looking, but it will never develop to the lightbulb,β
