Power Hour is BACK!
Hello lab rats, I have been home from the hospital for a while now and my symptoms are actually getting better! I attribute this to time l, and much-needed rest. BUT I do miss y’all, and feel quite isolated. This is why I’m bringing pack Power Hour. Nothing else until this change settles in, but I want to open my digital space back up so I can see my lovey friends and get some stuff done with them—mostly doodles on my end. Doodles and rest. I can’t thank you all enough for your patience as I go through this. Y’all are amazing, and I will see you tomorrow at Power Hour as listed on the calendar!

Still Alive!
Hello lab rats, I was hospitalized for a few days last week, but I’m back home and continuing to recover. I am gradually feeling better, and I hope to get back to Power Hour and other work in the next few weeks. How are y’all??

Short Recovery Break
Hi all, I’m having an MS relapse, so I’m going to get steroids each morning for the next three days, which should help a lot! I say this because I will very likely be hit-or-miss on Power Hours. When I hop on, I’ll post on here so y’all can join!

Take it easy, we only get one body. And the refund policy is absolute shite, I have checked. See you round xx

"Productivity" can mean different things every day.
I'm having a lame-o MS flare, but I hopped on Power Hour today anyway. Sometimes productivity is about "traditional" work, but for me, a lot of times it's about taking my meds, making my body as comfortable as it can get, and expressing myself. Yes, "put on socks" is on my list of to-dos. Why? Because if nobody's watching me, I will often just sit there with cold feet and be miserable! Same with pain meds. You read that right -- sometimes the effort of getting up and taking a pill seems too daunting, even though I'm hurting badly! Power Hour helps because when someone witnesses me promise to do a thing, I'm so much more likely to get it done. Peer pressure CAN be used for good, and today it was. So thank you @John McKellar for being with me today so I could put socks on and take my meds. I feel better now.

How are y’all?
I’m on the couch this Sunday journaling and reflecting, and I’d love to hear from y’all. What are you struggling with today? Any productivity concerns? I’m happy to advise in this thread.

I need to tackle two documents that I'm up in my head about. They are a little bit loaded in terms of career "worth". Both Wednesday deadlines. One, I need to write some case studies demonstrating how I am a Legitimate Psychologist to a government health council. Two, I need to edit a paper so that I can send it to the Big Conference in Our Research Area, though it is unlikely to get in and the wait time to hear back is long, freezing the paper up for other submissions. However, feedback from that conference is good and it keeps the process moving with that particular paper. When something feels unlikely to pan out because of the absolutely frothing levels of industry competition, it can feel much harder to Do the Thing. I think I need a clinician and a researcher, respectively, to talk some sense into me about my track record.
