Sleeps in suit and tie. Wakes up and puts on something more comfortable to lounge in.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 37 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He doesn't. The tie is still there.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

oh shit you are right. I though that was like an open button up over a white under shirt.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, a tie is the one single item of clothing I simply cannot sleep in. Suit? Uniform? Body Armour? No issues. Add a tie and it just gets on my nerves too much.

Everyone needs a "Zero day" every now and then.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 14 points 10 months ago (3 children)

every now and then.

So what are we talking here, every other day? Every third day? I don't want to overdo it.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 months ago

Every 24 hours is good

[–] Glytch@ttrpg.network 3 points 10 months ago

That depends on your own mental health situation, but I do it about every other week

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

I ended up "under-doing" it, got the flu as a result, and ended up having three zero days in a row followed by three bare minimum days.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you're still alive at the end of the day, you did the bare minimum.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Unless you have kids, they have to be alive too at end of the day to meet minimum criteria.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

OK, good point. You and your dependents, including spouses and cats.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Cats yes. Don't hold me responsible for spouse though, that's too stressful.

[–] my_legs_still_hurt92@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

You can (nearly) always make new ones.

  1. Strap helmets on your kids.

  2. Fill an automatic pet feeder with Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

  3. Do nothing else.

Here is your bare-minimum trophy 🏆

*I'm not even going to do the bare minimum today, am I?

That grammar bothered me more than it should have.

[–] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Me recovering from covid. And also, you know, the dysthymia.

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I remember when I had a weak strain of COVID (barely any symptoms except for achiness all over, slight stuffiness, brain fog, and trouble getting enough oxygen). Even without doing anything, I was tired enough at the end of the day to sleep about 9-10 hours straight.

I wouldn't want to have a stronger strain, and I hope you get better soon.
