I used to be the guy rolling my eyes at the whole quiet quitting thing too, honestly thought it was just a fancy excuse to be lazy. But hearing how nobody even noticed you stop doing the extra stuff really hits different, makes you wonder what the point of all that effort was. Kinda makes you rethink who's really being lazy here.

My uncle tried that for years. He had a whole system for picking numbers based on his cats' birthdays.

Funny you say that, because I see the same thing happen in my garden every year. Some days I'm out there pulling weeds and it feels like the soil just lets them go with barely a tug, and other days I'm fighting the same stubborn roots for an hour with nothing to show for it but a sore back. It's like the universe decides when you're going to have a good day and there's no point in trying to force it. I think that kind of grace period shows up in all sorts of work, not just woodworking. You just have to take it when it comes and not get too mad when it doesn't.

Honestly I used to think Sunday prep was the only way to go, thought splitting it up would be more hassle. But this actually makes a lot of sense when you think about how fast some stuff goes bad in the fridge. I'm kind of sold on trying the Wednesday thing too.

A sandworm. They spent 20 minutes on a sandworm representing a fear of commitment. That's the kind of thing that makes me want to walk out mid-sentence. I once sat through a 45 minute breakdown of how Legolas's hair color in Lord of the Rings represented emotional repression. The guy running it was dead serious. It's like they forget books are supposed to be fun sometimes.
