Mr. Omoikiri and I are heading away on a mini break for his 30th this Sunday and are back on the Monday. The intention was to get the exegesis portion of my PhD sorted and finished by tomorrow night. The plan was to get the intro, chapters 1, 2 and 3 done tonight and do chapters 4 and the conclusion tomorrow. I have been working since 7am and just started on chapter 2. I am already half way to losing my mind. I reckon I’ve got another 5 hours of work tonight, alone.
Do you think some gin will help or hinder me right now? 🤔
I think only you know the answer to your question.
So… yes?
Hahaha. Some people are productive with a drink. Some are not.
A walk might work better.
Many many years ago my first genuine full time job application took 24hr and a bottle of vodka to write. Yes, I got it. Extrapolate at will.
The way I see it, only good can come from this
Might help you relax. Not sure it’s good for being productive though being gin filled?
just a little perhaps
Just a little sounds good to me!
Just a little it is!!
I find that under similar circumstances one or two drinks kinda helps, but more than that means I have to redo the work next day
Yes, I’m having 1-2 with dinner and dessert and then I’m gonna out my hair up in a study bun and get this shit done
Ah yes, the Ballmer Peak
How about that, it’s actually a thing!
I’ve also noticed it when playing pool, but have never managed to stay at the spot where I’m actually good at it, lol
