Sensitive children often suppress their emotions, leading to automated behaviors that mask true feelings.

4 days agoI'm 34 and I just realized I've been performing competence at work for seven years because somewhere along the way I confused being impressive with being safe, and the exhaustion I thought was burnout was actually the weight of never once letting anyone see me learn something for the first time. - Silicon Canals

5 days agoPsychology suggests if you still write things down on paper instead of your phone you aren't resisting progress - you've found something that works and are practicing the increasingly rare skill of not replacing it simply because something newer arrived, and that skill, applied consistently, turns out to predict a surprising number of other things about how you make decisions - Silicon Canals
Handwriting enhances cognitive engagement and memory retention compared to typing, leading to better decision-making and creativity.

2 months agoMost people ignore this productivity-enhancing monitor setting - here's why you shouldn't
Turning a computer monitor from a landscape position to a portrait position may seem odd at first. After all, a horizontal display allows you to see more content on-screen, plus it is a more familiar experience. However, there are certain situations where flipping your screen vertically is genuinely useful. Programmers, for example, often prefer this orientation because it lets them see more lines of code without needing to scroll. Writers, like myself, appreciate this mode, as it makes reading and creating documents easier.
