April Fools

Jokes can be good, jokes can be bad.
Don't do something you will regret tomorrow.

Stay lighthearted and innocent with your jokes. Something like rearranging the items on your coworker's desk. A woopie cushion under a pillow. A fake mouse under a blanket.

The second you try to be funny with fake promises like game DLCs or announcements like marriages/divorces or promotions or babies; you risk breaking hearts and ruining the mental states of others.

If you would be highly displeased if somebody did it to you, do not do it to anyone else.

Here are some of the good jokes you could play on the people in your life;

1. Hide two things, but tell them you hid three things

2. Replace your family photos with photos of somebody else

3. Text them a GIF of the "typing" dots

4. Put some plastic on the top of their shampoo bottle, then screw the top back on

5. Put sugar in their salt shaker

6. Put balloons in their office or bedroom

7. Tape something to the bottom of their computer mouse, rendering it temporarily unusable

8. Place a fake snake in their belongings

9. Hide behind a door and scare them

10. Swap their hand sanitizer with glue

Productivity is a Mindset

It may be hard to believe, but the act of being productive is all a state of mind. If you have the desire and the drive to be productive, then you will be. Things like weather and timing may play a role in what you are being productive doing but it does not stop you from being productive as a whole. 

Some people stay productive by making lists and locking away all their technology so that they don't get distracted. Others find that having something playing in the background helps them stay productive. However you choose to be productive, it is all in your head on whether you feel like you are being productive or not. 

Sometimes being productive is cleaning the entire house. Sometimes being productive is going shopping and getting all your errands done. Sometimes being productive is starting some new projects like painting furniture. Sometimes being productive is doing all of those things. Other times, being productive is putting your mental health first and just relaxing. 

You may not feel like you are being productive but your brain made the decision on what the priority was and you are being productive in that sense so good job.

Keep it up.

Stay on track.

You got this!

Miscommunications

You would think that after so much time of being alive, that it would be pretty easy to communicate and discuss how you are feeling or what plans you have, but that is clearly never the case. No matter how long you are alive, you will likely never be able to communicate yourself perfectly every time to every person you talk with.

There are going to be plenty of people who interpret your connotations differently. Different people who have different experiences and have come to learn that certain actions mean something different from what you thought you were conveying. Different people who may have said one thing but meant a different. 

It's a shame but it is also the truth. Miscommunications leave behind heartbreak, heartache, hurt feelings, anger, frustration, and a whole lot of wasted time and missed opportunities.

Let me know when we come up with a way to get rid of this.

Thanks.
