Anyone else get incredibly distracted by their phone during the workday since WFH? I have plenty of work (which I’m thankful for), but I find myself mindlessly browsing YouTube, social media, etc.

If I have my phone nearby, I’m guaranteed to look at it. When I start the work day, I leave my phone in another room. Physical separation is the only thing that works for me.

When I take a break to get water or grab a snack, I’ll check my phone but I try to stick to messaging and avoid stuff that will send me down a rabbit hole (the news, social media, etc.)

If you need other ideas, may want to check out the books Indistractible and Digital Minimalism.

I check my social media first thing in the morning, mid-morning for 10 min while taking a break, mid-afternoon for another 10-15 min and not again until late evening. Sometimes I will not have checked all my social media outlets in those 10 minute allotments, but at 10 min I stop and during my next break start with one I wasn’t able to get to before.

It depends on the day, but mostly yes.

Friday was complicated. So, I am going to break it down. Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQ) traded to the 9837 level, 32.75 points short of it's 50% HWB short. It then proceeded to sell off like nobody's business to 9846.50, 31.5 points higher than the projected objective for the HWB short. So, if you followed me on the channel, we were positioned for a nice rally at the end of the day. Markets have no memory on Friday afternoon. So, I think we are going up eventually and rally hard.

Well I did a very bad thing... we found out this week my husband’s father has an aggressive terminal cancer. My father in law doesn’t want to tell anyone and I am supposed to not say anything. The only reason I know is because we live with him. When I was speaking to my mom on the phone I burst out crying and had to tell her, and I had another burst out crying event where I told a friend. I told my husband this and he is rightfully furious with me. :( not sure what I can do to make it right...
