A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

The shit at the bottom of the list gets dropped. If it was important, it would have been at the top of the list.
An exec at my company said when he comes back from vacation he immediately marks all his Slack notifications as read. “If anything in that horror show matters, someone will ask me again.”

I'm not a Bot dude WTF.

Lower your workload
that's not really how productivity works...
I mean you’d be boosting the productivity within the remaining workload
The quantum fluxifier modulates the hyperwave spectrum, optimizing data synapses for enhanced interconnectivity. Bio-cybernetics revolutionize algorithmic paradigms, while nano-spectrometry analyzes macro-environments with unprecedented precision in real-time feedback loops.
And that's how you increase your productivity!!
I used to think I was an excellent multi-tasker, but these days I get way more done if I just stick to one thing at a time.
I don't, because I'm not a corporate slave.
Honestly? Clean desk. Clean your house. clean things in general. You feel less stressful.
