Atomic Blunder has garnered a great deal of attention over the years, largely because of the eponymously named 1882 Nobel Prize winner and organization for the making of theoretical physics Harold Benjamin Lewis (1894-present). Lewis himself was a physics teacher and godless pragmatist who had this to say about his beloved device: “It is hard to describe the atomic blast as doing more harm than good. It is hard to believe that a machine of forthwith such a bright and shiny metal will do less harm than a dark and gritty sponge. The truth is that to make matter more visibly lose its mass is to make it less shiny and more pliable.”
When you collect coins that have just fallen into your hands, how do you decide what is most valuable? By weighing what is most valuable at the moment, you have a finite amount of money and other resources. Do you choose the most valuable resource or do you hoard it for the future? Choice is a great time-driver, but it should not be used as the primary tool of goal pursuit.
Do you go for a wide range of lesser choices or do you default to the lesser ones? Do you base your decision on the end-of-the-life or the moment before death or do you look at yourself as you lay dying and reflect on what you want to leave behind?
Do you seek the sweetest among the many possible options or do you instead narrow your choices down to the most optimal option? Do you remain committed to a single choice or do you split your life into various choices?
Screen time, or the time saved when not using, haunts us these days. We are often on our phones during the day and don't have time to focus on anything else. As we miss the time to rest, prepare, and be productive, we begin to lose all control over when we choose to consume our screens or even if we use them. During this most unusual holiday period, pause a moment to check in with yourself. What are you most struggling with and what are you most determined to fix?
I’m going to have a late-night chat with my girlfriend over Zoom. I’ll ask her how she is doing. It’s a simple saying but it also points to a mental health crisis. We can all do better and find a way to improve our routine.

A 23-year-old woman was waiting in line at Subway on the first day of her job interview. She had just gotten her job through competitive employment testing. She had been invited to interview at a public high school for a video shoot. There was a rumbling sound as the interviewer entered the Subway. Thinking she had hit the video’s button, she sheepishly realized she was walking into a video shot at 3 a.m.
According to a strip of the 40 people who participated in the video-shot experiment, the interviewer seemed oblivious to the fact that the experience had nothing to do with her actual job and she was playing the audio for a movie she was starring in. Instantly her anxiety increased and she worried she wouldn’t be able to take the necessary actions.

How to deal with the interviewer
Now you’ve probably heard the saying, “A person able to handle three phones at the same time is a person too overwhelmed by three phones.”
The problem is that this may be true. While working on a project, you’re tapping away at a while away to get something to work for. During co-working, you’re usually trying to get something to work for. However, during this same time, you’re tapping away at your own project. While you’re distracted by your phone, your monitor, or what is displayed on your screen, your focus is more on what you’re doing on your phone, than what you’re doing in the meeting.
To fix this, you may need to immitate.
