I know that this will sound incredibly stupid and naive, and that budgeting your time is much more tempting. Don't do it. I can give you a long sociological explanation for why not on my blog, but you can simply read Michael Ende's "Momo" or play this: hexecutable.itch.io/consume-me
Consume Me by Hexecutable
BEING A TEENAGER SUCKS. So we made a videogame about it.

If you do this right, all your time and energy will return to you, only doubled. It is not unlikely that at some point you will simply type down an article in an afternoon. But most importantly, you will feel much better about yourself and your work if you have realistic expectations.

This is a good and hard question! On a very general level, the answer is: let go. Don't turn your day into a schedule. Don't squeeze the minues and seconds out of your day. If you can, have a coffee instead. Go home an hour early. Read things you like, not homework for your own writing.

Mir gefällt ja das Aussehen nach der Renovierung; ich hätte mir aber gewünscht, dass der Korridor mehrere Kilometer in beide Richtungen unter der Stadt fortgeführt wird.

Zufallsfund: Im @sozmag.bsky.social ist eine kurze Rezension von Konstantin Schiewer zu dem Marcuse-Löwenthal Band (den wir vor zwei Jahren anlässlich der 10. Konferenz der International Herbert Marcuse Society erstellt haben) zu finden. Das Büchlein gibt's übrigens immer noch zu haben!

I remember the first time that I saw this short, it is so simple yet so powerful and beautiful I suggest you give it a watch.

Studio Ghibli fell in love with this film and gave its director a movie deal. Master animators like Yuri Norstein call it a favorite.

Its name is Father and Daughter, and we've explored its story:

Beth Berman's interview should be read alongside the historical work by Antoinette Baujard on how economists have mostly endorsed, sometimes resisted, utilitarianism, welfarism and consequentialism as a basis for decision making

And to be fair, the actual article (unlike the headline or euronews' skeet) doesn't claim that he's threatening a boycott, only that he would 'support' it.
