SELDA; You mentioned office distractions, This was the worst distraction ever. An office colleague asked this question once a week (drum roll) "Steve what did you have for dinner last night." Followed by 20min of BS banter. That happened in an architectural office in London.

Oh God. That’s my worst nightmare. Look Steve, no one cares what you had for dinner last night 🤣

SELDA; BS was actually the guys initials, BS complained to the company director; stating that I was disturbing him, and I got fired over that. I laugh now, but I didn't back then...!

Thanks Selda, It did hurt, yet the director lied to get me out of the office. My father supports my brother who is a convict criminal. The same thing but this is a family issue. Believe me this hurts more because my father and brother are liars.

I can write about lies & deception as I have seen all sides of it…..the story Man-child is personal to me.

Really nicely written Selda. Now let me just go to the fridge and get some eggs (just kidding) :). I have found that since I started creating online it's given me much more of a focused purpose and so even if I do check notifications more than I should I often have a newsletter idea percolating int eh back of mind. This means that everything becomes inspiration of it. Now I want to see how I can get some egg throwing into my next article :)

Thank you Benjamin! It's great that you've found a more focused purpose since writing online, and you're maxing out on the inspiration you're getting. It hasn't helped me with using my phone less, but I use it differently now. Now I'd rather check Substack than the news. :)
