 I cannot concentrate. It's afternoon and I accomplished nearly nothing, not even a strip for Nostr. What do you do to concentrate?
Also I'm sitting in the middle of big indoors playground, my kid already bashed his head and they fought literally on me twice, stole rubber from my headphones and right over me is a huge noisy slide with fake grass for those heavy rings/sleigh, that might have something to do with it. 
 Why be so ambitious? Tomorrow is another day.

 
 Yeah but so was in August🥲 
 microdose/  jk! 
 No no, that's valid point.🤔 
 You’re concentrating on your kid. That’s enough 💜 
 Depends on the situation but usually I use pomodoro and sometimes those earplugs

 I take a 5-15 minute walk when I don’t have the kids to concentrate.  With the kids I just remind myself that I’ll be less productive; but that’s ok. My Brother-in-law with 4 older kids told me once that about 80% of all the time you’ll ever spend with your kids is before the age of 12. 
They grow up quick so prioritize them - you don’t get much time to imprint your values before they are gone. 
 I can't concentrate after reading "strip for Nostr".

When is this happening? Am I invited?
