How working on a brand voice and tone for a project in the morning.... ... impacts my UX writing task in another product in the evening. Coffee. Shower. Mango. As if I am writing an RFP and a proposal at the same time.

People develop rituals and rhythms. I suspect with so many working from home, we're going to see less forced wake/sleep patterns as well as mangos, showers and coffee frequencies changing too. Many folks dance to vastly diverse circadian rhythms :)

So true. As for the rituals and rhythms, sometimes we design these and the other times, these design us. Give and take, just like data structure. :)

This is why I keep my stack open and processer external. Also, constant iteration, bug finding, bug correction in the ideal without breaking what isn't broken. I've seen it work. Rarely. I wish early education promoted self-awareness and ethics over canonical limits and morality.

Wonderful. And you talk about education... all of us are in a school or college when we get the right to vote but they never teach us to use our right to vote, neither for the government, and nor in our projects. They teach subjects without empowering us, and without meaning.
