@Carl-Richard would orange theory qualify? It's a intense one hour workout that usually does sprints on the treadmill.

@mr_engineer - YES! We had a new boss that started in April, and he is the most draining person. Instead of actually looking at the emails he will come over to hot seat you about them almost immediately. Its exhausting, the workplace was nothing like that before he started. He also changed the wfh schedule to be in the office 4 days a week. My cat has a terminal illness so it makes it even worse.... I would love to spend more time with him.

@Michael569 - I am definitely not super loyal to this company. I am paid well in relation to the work I do so, it makes sense to stay. The pretending to be doing accounting when I am in the office but actually working, I never really thought about! There is a software I need to be on but there are PLENTY of spreadsheets and other interfaces that I can be on whilst "looking " Like I am working on accounting. I do work in a corner and can hear people approach. My WFH days I can do some work in the mornings, I think my problem is the bad sleep quality which I am now seriously addressing by not using phone at night. Zero alcohol and going to bed earlier no excuses, I get to bed sometimes waaaay to late. If I get up earlier say 6:30am that will give me optimal time to do some creative work. @integral I hear this all the time... AI will solve all data problems. Well there is a LOT of judgement in accounting its not just punching in data from other places and bam there is your books. It requires a knowledge and understanding of much more than just number goes here and here. Not sure your dept of accounting but its very different than book keeping. If you have any specific suggestions on how I can use AI for my accounting job please let me know!

I have just signed up for the audiobook at my local library. Thanks!

I'm curious if anyone else is in the same boat as me. I have a corporate accounting job that really takes a toll on me mentally. By the time 5 PM rolls around, I'm completely wiped out and find it hard to muster the energy or creativity to work on my true passions. I have a deep love for the Western lifestyle(vintage western art, southwest native textiles, ext) and dream of starting my own business around it, but it's so tough to make progress after a full day of unfulfilling accounting work. I find myself longing to dive into my creative projects, but my mind feels too drained to think about anything but relaxing or taking a walk... Does anyone else feel this way? How do you balance a 9-5 corporate job with your creative passions? I have considered just doing a part time job since financially I could survive on that.

When you play a video game on God mode for so long... its no longer fun.

Define the values, maybe some have differences and you can combine them if they are similar.

quickbooks and hrblock online. If you understand basic accounting, in quick books you can track mileage, receipts, run monthly income statements and much more in quickbooks. Its $39 a month. helps with tax time.

The movie "Snow on the Bluff" opened my eyes about living in the ghetto and surviving. The main character is a crack dealer who robs naive college kids looking for drugs. The film is shot as a "documentary" or blair witch style. He has to do things to survive, people are killed and its extremely sad and chaotic life.

After listening to the audiobook Life 3.0 - being Human in the age of AI , I am convinced in the next 5 years we will see super AI capabilities emerge. Would this be too soon of a timeline or too short? How many years will general AI then super AI develop?

What spiral dynamics stage would quality and sustainable material goods (clothing, food, furniture, home) be considered? Since sustainability and environmental consciousness is a green value I would consider it green but I want to hear what others think. Orange has mass-marketed and promoted cheap goods that dont last long. What stage would quality goods that last 10+ years that are not mass-marketed be in? French culture has been historically less consumptive than western cultures and values high-quality food and not as much variety in clothing. They also seem to value a slow, intentional approach to life.

thanks!

Does anyone here have some fiction books that best demonstrate examples of wisdom or the heros journey? Maybe some books that are less well known and underrated?? thanks

I wouldent be suprised if Tucker ran for president himself in the future.
