Abilities Become Impaired Alcohol is a depressant. That is to say, alcohol slows down a person’s reaction time. Thus, you cannot respond appropriately to driving hazards while drunk. Even if you’ve only had a couple of drinks your blood alcohol level can be much over the legal limit. However, you may not notice that you are too drunk to drive, because alcohol also slows down your judgement. That is something super dangerous and scary, especially on the road....
This is not simply a list of the highest rated extensions. The Chrome shop mixes up the list with featured extensions and advertisements, which makes the list random and therefore unclear. The average person’s attention span is 8 seconds. So I took the first 47 and analysed them into something useful. Sticking with the wisdom of the crowd and democratic choice, this article bases its list on a combination of 5/5 ratings and number of users from the first 47 results of the path Chrome shop – extensions – productivity – ratings....
It can be hard deciding where to go, especially if you can only squeeze one trip in before real life kicks in again. If you are a nomadic kind of person who doesn’t like big cities or lots of people, these are the top five places for you to travel: Chiang Mai, Thailand Chiang Mai Is one of the most incredible cities in the world.[1] Not only is it in Thailand, but it also has a special feel to it....
The Sleep Foundation states that approximately 30 per cent of the general population complains about having some sort of insomnia, whether it be acute or chronic. About 10 per cent of the general population states to have some problems with daily activities due to their lack of sleep the night before. It is crucial for the average adult to try to get a good 8 hours of sleep at night so they can perform well at whatever the day has in store for them....
Thankfully, science can help you retrieve the lost romance and take your love life to another level. This is possible because love comes from the brain, not from the heart. What we take as matters of the soul are actually matters of the brain, which controls the production of hormones, which in turn control our emotions. Each time you feel the “butterflies” — or you feel like kicking someone — your brain is to blame....
Here’s an effective routine you can customize and use to wrap up work for a relaxing weekend and a great start to the next week. 1. Start the routine at lunch time on Friday with one very important question. Here’s the question: What will I feel GREAT about getting done before the weekend? Your answer should be only one or two items, not a whole bucket list full. You only have an afternoon left, but if you focus, you can get through some good work before it’s quitting time....
First, just before going to sleep – state your problem and drink half of a glass of water (I prefer a small glass – I don’t want to have to get up for a bathroom break in the middle of the night). Next, upon awakening, and before you do anything else, drink the other half of the water. Then lie back down and see what develops. You may get some snippets of dreams, some inner voice clues, a gut feeling, or nothing at all....
As Picasso once said, “Good artists imitate, great artists steal”. I belive he also said “And they read lifehack.org, too”, but that could just be a rumor. Congratulations to Srećko! If you were not one of this month’s winners, be sure to visit db clay and check out their wallets — they really are beautiful. We thank them for their sponsorshop of this month’s giveaways, and for giving us something amazing to dream about this month....
But recently, Weird Al enjoyed a massive success that surpassed any of his past albums. His latest album, “Mandatory Fun,” entered the charts at No. 1 — the first time ever for him. (Watch him get the happy news here!) And for good reason. His album is full of clever gems, like “Foil” (a parody of “Royals” by Lorde), “Tacky” (“Happy” by Pharrell Williams), and — my personal favorite — “Word Crimes” (“Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke)....
Today, it describes men of any social class or condition —often used in a courteous reference. What men say may not always reflect what they are really thinking. What they do can tell us more. But what they are really thinking is revealed over time. First, let’s examine two common colloquial applications of the word gentleman and decide if it means what we think it means. “Gentlemen Prefer Blonds” Anita Loos wrote a 1925 novel that was the basis for this 1928 movie and 1949 musical but the story actually supports the notion that it’s not the hair color but the character of the woman that gains “preferential” treatment....
About 25% of Americans feel they are not getting enough sleep half of the time. A quarter of teens are only getting 6.5 hours sleep a night when they should be getting nine hours. Forty-one million Americans are getting less than six hours sleep every night. Here are five different types of sleep patterns. Which one do you fit into? 1. Are you a morning person? If you like waking and getting up early, you are more likely to shine in the morning and get lots of things done....
To be clear, the internet isn’t life’s only distraction, and while productivity has become a huge buzzword in recent years, it’s simply a measure of progress: Are you doing what matters most? Actively moving toward your goals? Author Neil Pasricha writes in Harvard Business Review[2]: Most entrepreneurs relate deeply to this sentiment. Pasricha solved his own productivity challenges by instituting “untouchable days” that shield him from texts, phone calls, meetings, alerts, or appointments of any kind....
A good example of this is the process of the body preparing for the absorption of food and the activity of eating. Circadian rhythm plays a huge role in these processes. Making sure they are synchronized with our daily activities goes a long way to helping us live a healthy, happy, and fulfilled life. However, you may ask, “what is circadian rhythm and what exact effects does it have in our lives?...
The above are just a few extrinsic motivation examples. According to studies, extrinsic incentives can’t quite measure up to their better half—the intristic motivation. [1] It still does the job to get us moving, but not quite at the same level as its twin, and not for long. Simply put, extrinsic rewards don’t hold up for long. And yet, there is also no denying that extrinsic motivation works. It’s quick, tangible, and can often be specifically measured and adjusted (think bonuses), and even get us to take action....
While the ongoing pandemic ravages the globe and political turmoil are felt across nations, it’s not hard to see why you may be feeling lost, confused, or out of place in life. The extent to which the Covid-19 Global Pandemic has affected your mental health, emotional stability, and overall confidence cannot be underscored enough.

I’ve been thinking about this question a lot lately. What does it take to be a happy person? Obviously the answer is going to be different for each person, but what worries me is that, as far as I can tell, most people don’t even ask – and those that do don’t have a very good answer. Ask someone what would make them happy, and their answer is likely to be pretty vague....

We always make excuses for our lies, too. “It’s not pathological lying, it’s a simple white lie.” “I said it so I wouldn’t hurt their feelings.” “I didn’t want to get in trouble.” So, what’s the big deal if everybody else is doing it? Well, as it turns out, lying could be affecting your brain and body. When you lie, your brain is overwhelmed Lots of research has been conducted about the health effects of pathological lying and guess what?...
