beast monster thing in space

Wake up. Before u do anything else, roll over, plant ur feet on the floor, get up. Bathroom. AM shower. Before anything else. Before u can ever reach ur phone.

Prepare your morning drink of choice. For me that’s iced lemon water. Love her

You should’ve placed your planner somewhere accessible the night before. Next must-do (before anything else, including your phone!) is to read through both daily and weekly agenda.

Knock out an easy task (<5 mins), then a hard task (> 5 mins). This starts with making sure ur setup is prepped for success. For example, if ur working out do u have the correct workout open? If ur studying does ur desk already contain the appropriate materials?

Pomodoro all dayyyy!!

Certain days for socialization. This is def personalized to me bc I’ve been off the rails, out with someone every night. You don’t need to PLAN every weekend but you need days that are non negotiably no socialization days!!

If you’re like “this doesn’t apply to me” what could u substitute that does apply? What do u not have great boundaries with right now?

Use Habit app to track habits! It’s free. I personally only have it on my iPad, I try as much as possible not to do “life admin” stuff directly on phone. Just too easy to get sucked in

If you’re struggling with phone addiction, start decreasing by making yourself more busy

Meditation :) even 10 mins a day only helps!

Let go of anxiety by letting go of control

Save more aggressively

Get back into music

Read minimum 30 mins (for me). Please start slow too if u need to. Minimum 5 to start is so valid

Getting to a text or notification in 15 minutes versus 2 hours changes absolutely nothing about the outcome of a situation

You forget 80% of what you scrolled through at the end of the day

There’s absolutely no image on Pinterest, no post on Tumblr, no story on Instagram that could be as novel as reading a book you’ve never read and the dopamine release from finishing it and soaking it in

it can literally wait. It’s not the end of the world. Your brain will make it seem that way but it’s not

Phones are built like slot machines (same exact mechanism) so don’t be too hard on yourself

But also consider how much progress you’d make in your goals if you siphoned some of that screen time into whatever goals you’ve had forever

you don’t need to live a no phone lifestyle, it’s about portions

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

Peter Pan edited by Anne Hiebert Alton (2011)

(sorry to interrupt joke post but) this is true!

Children not clapping did happen too, (and some were even expected to have hissed, which was later written into the 1928 playscript and 1911 novel). But my all time favourite anecdote about it is from Pauline Chase (who played Peter)'s intro to Peter Pan's Post Bag 1909:

Children love to clap their hands at the play because then they feel that they are really part of it, and you can see them holding their hands poised ready to seize an opportunity. Their great chance is when I ask them to clap their hands if they believe in fairies, and so save Tink's life. But they are very wrathful if any one claps who has the reputation of being a cynic, and once there was quite an uproar in the front row of the dress circle because of a girl who clapped. Those about her pulled down her arms angrily. "How dare you clap," they cried, "when you know you don't believe in fairies!" There was one dreadfully hard-hearted little boy who came to the theatre not to clap. That was his object for coming, and he came round "behind" to tell me so in the middle of the play. His teeth were firm set. "I won't clap," he said doggedly; "I'm not going to clap." And when the time came he didn't clap; above the clapping of all the others I could hear him shouting from a box, "Peter, I'm not clapping."
