Your Brief Mental Benefits Coexist with Cringing Coworkers To chew or not to chew gum in the office poses a conundrum in which chewers achieve mental benefits while nearby workmates grind their teeth, There is credible scientific evidence that chewing gum can be relaxing, mood enhancing and productivity inducing. There also is ample evidence noisy gum chewers can be distracting to nearby…

Staying focused in a distracting work environment can be challenging, but it's entirely possible with the right strategies and mindset. Here’s how you can maintain your concentration even when things around you aren’t ideal:

Like he was missing a ridiculously important trial, losing his relationships, and sinking his career to go fight ninjas on a train full of sand with his murderous ex girlfriend. Even if he wanted to explain that to Foggy, he can’t, because that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, and so he is able to use it as an excuse as to why he needs to keep distancing himself.

Everyone is telling him either directly or subtly that he needs to show up and be present and let them help him, and if he were fighting something like in season one I don’t think that disconnect would have showed up as clearly. He could’ve fought with foggy about the right way to do it, because it’s not completely unbelievable and probably would’ve had a harder time justifying to himself why he had to stay away.

Maybe? I don’t know. Lots of thoughts about this season but I think the Black Star plotline was better than I was giving it credit for before I finished it even if I didn’t love it. It was definitely compelling even if the whole time i was just yelling go to work dude!!! Answer your phone asshole!!! His relationship with Elektra too was really good for that because their dynamic was perfect for Matt to be like I have to help her. She won’t leave me alone! She’s messing this up! While still being a big part of the problem. He refused to take any responsibility for himself, partly because he was angry at her, partly because he was angry at foggy, and then of course partly because that would mean facing his whole I-have-a-rage-in-me-and-my-soul-is-rotten thing that he is always brooding about.
