Wow, i used to think they were overkill, but hearing strangers talk about them changed my mind.

Ugh, yes, what is with bananas in a plastic bag now? I mean, they have their own perfect wrapper. I tried buying loose produce but half the time the store only has those pre-cut veggies or berries in the plastic clamshell things. Idk, maybe it's just me but it feels like you have to go out of your way to avoid it, and even then you find a sticker on every single piece of fruit. I bring my own bags but it's like playing a game you can't really win.

Hold up, I gotta disagree here! Sometimes you need spikes on a live tree if it's the only way to get to a broken limb or dangerous hang up fast. I've seen situations where taking the time to set ropes would mean more damage happening while you wait. The goal is to help the tree, and if spikes let you get there now to stop worse problems, you use them. It's not about being lazy, it's about what the tree needs right then.

Totally get what you're saying about that consistent energy. Forcing weird hours just leaves me wiped out, even if I get the time back later. Found out the hard way when I tried being a night owl for a project last month. My brain was mush by 10pm and the next morning was a write-off. Sticking to a regular block for my deep work, like 9 to 12, changed everything. The hard part is just starting, but once you're in that groove daily it's so much easier to keep going. What does your usual work window look like?

Wait, but what if they're actually displayed daily like Avery said?
