Y'a rien comme les meetings difficiles et les défis extrêmes de problèmes à résoudre pour vous remettre toutes les émotions dans le back burner.

In a way, it's similar to categories in gmail I guess.

Having tools like that to group people into categories would be nice, but only if it work across apps. Like if I allow Messenger during the weekend for friends, I still don't want to see work stuff sent over Messenger until Monday. So I can relax and actually enjoy my weekend!

Recent updates in phones' OS provided tools to help us control the vortex, but they aren't enough.

I think what would be really useful is a way to group the different interactions and people of different social group and time box them. For example, if someone from work contact me, I'll only see the notification between 9AM and 6PM. If it's a friend, it's only after work. Unless it's a close friend, who could contact me anytime.

Basically a way to group notifications by context: work, fun,etc

The vortex has been on my mind a lot in the past few days. I see the pattern on me, jumping from notification to notification, browsing and reading the internet and social media. Abandoning Facebook and Twitter was not enough if I'm going to spend as much time on Masto and Reddit and Instagram and Pixelfed and…

Mastodon isn't really great at sending notifications and attracting you to them, but in a way, it's probably a good thing. It's a barrier of resistance against the Vortex.

Let's bring in a device in our home that listen 24/7 and can record and send it to Amazon for their employees to listen to. Why are people buying those things??

Actually, this whole website is great! It's too bad schools are cutting on sex ed classes.

Like this text about why it's so important to talk in a relation and not be shy about it, while providing tips about how to make these talks happen and how to handle them. I wish I knew half of it in my previous experiences.

Thank god for the internet. It's so nice to see a lot of websites and forums with people who have the same problem as you.

I've never been much into kissing (the French kiss kind). In fact, I kinda dislike it. I always though it was me who was weird. But a quick visit on the web confirmed that, nope, I'm not alone. There's actually plenty people in the same situation.

This short text offer a nice overview. I'm glad I read it.

Oh the things I do to not go to sleep when I really need to.

Pfff j'aurais pas dû prendre de thé cet après midi. Ça faisait trop longtemps. Là je dois avoir l'air de quelqu'un sur la coke. Je tiens pas en place.

Ça donne le goût…
