Seconded, can be quite hard to pick up at first, but developing strategies and learning is soooo rewarding

Ah ! The secret is to use every possible way to avoid free thinking during the day, and do it until you fall asleep from exhaustion!

French here. when sick, I use an app to book a appointment to a medical center I have that’s like 5 minutes away by foot ( not typical for all french residents but I am quite lucky with where I live). I usually have an appointment in the next 2 to 4 hours tops. Depending on what it is, I walk away with a prescription and certificate for work stating how many sicks days I have. This costs me nothing, appart from the occasional optional medication that is not reimbursed.

Same in France, where it is translated to “pouces”

Still have both smartphone and pc (mostly for gaming). I think in the future we will have only a smartphone that will dock to screens (or maybe glasses) and will be connected to cloud computing for intensive purposes.
