I know too many people who do the same thing despite having smartphones.

You can improve a skill by visualizing your performance of the skill.
But you need to have the experience beforehand to be able to understand what you’re visualizing.
So - absolutely not.
There’s enough people locally who die that it seems reasonable for me to project that thousands die globally each year because they have no clue how to swim, but other people are there having fun in the water and how hard could it be?
Agreed.
The way I think it should be is:
- mandatory 25 days of vacation, plus statutory holidays
- mandatory vacation is subtracted from any performance targets (i.e. it is accounted for in business planning and not offloaded to the employee)
- vacation beyond that is unlimited, but may impact your performance
- major anniversary events within the company grant paid leave of absences
To the last point - I don’t recall which company it was - I have seen one where after a certain period of service your granted a 3 or 6 month leave of absence to go do something else. Travel the world, get really deep into Japanese joinery, or build a new version of DNS. I think that’s something that is healthy for humans.
There is a gene (iirc) that’s linked to caffeine management and metabolism. You’ve probably got it. It also means that you don’t a lot of the measured benefits (eg sports performance). There’s also tolerance that develops over time but that’s different. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780443138683000533
ADHD is linked to caffeine tolerance but, speaking for myself, I get very jittery with more than my usual 2 strong cups of coffee. I do intentionally keep it that way; I don’t want caffeine tolerance.
