from the naps++ dept.

Afternoon is the worst time for distractions, fatigue, and reduced efficiency. A solid routine can help.

Much is made of morning and evening routines, but hardly anything is mentioned about afternoon routines. This is odd, because afternoons are when energy plummets, when creativity and efficiency are drained, and many workers crave a second wind. It makes sense to focus on how to improve this (sometimes torturous) time of day, which is why I was thrilled to see Patrick Allan's article on LifeHacker. In it, Allan describes the necessity of establishing a solid afternoon routine in order to resist the time when when "distractions have the most power—you're fatigued, irritable, and way more impulsive." What follows are some of his suggestions, as well as a few of my own:

TFA suggests: 1. Eat well. 2. Get moving. 3. Save the easy stuff for last. 4. Put a time limit on big assignments. 5. Establish a fun afternoon ritual. 6. Have a power nap. Me: Large coffee with a triple red-eye shot. You?

    You'd think for all the trolling practice you get in that you'd be good at it. I guess some people got it and some just never will.

    Dick niggers, with jews you lose, etc etc.

    Good trolls put on an act to get a reaction from some and to entertain others. Bad trolls just hate your fucking guts.

    Shut up it's time for TV. Ohhhh loook Andrea Savage is on tonight. She reminds me of a female Seinfeld. Big salads and jews, natch.

    Fuck you. I hope you die in a fire and take your shithole of a news site with you when you burn.

      See, that's funny. You were trying to troll around here, which is to say make someone upset enough to respond to you, but what happened was you got trolled your own self.

      Son, the first rule of trolling is you never let anyone make you give a shit about what they say. Trolling is always a competitive sport. Meditate upon this.

        A bad troll admitted "I'm gonna troll you so badly like I don't give a shit" and you fucking responded with a old man lecture. You got trolled, moron.

        Hey nigger. Here's an idea for your comedy act. Go up on stage and lynch yourself.
