Denial always comes First ;) Don‘t worry, It’s a Gift. Say you‘re highly gifted!

(Btw german autocorrect is Crazy. It does Not allow me to Write „denial“ - which becomes „Daniel“ or „highly“ - which becomes „Highway“, and changes every other Word into Capital letters. That is worth a conspiracy theory, i would say!)

Thanks for making my day!

Same here. I’m a coder, not a cider.

My autocorrect is way better recently.

I think I still figured that out 😂

😂 at least, as a cider, you would have better taste... ;)

(In german that would have a double meaning... does that work in english?)

I don’t think there’s a double meaning for cider

Very amusing but helpful as well. I shall be deploying some of those strategies when I remember to do so.

Do it before you walk through the doorway. Afterwards …… you’ll forget you ever read this Substack note 😂

This is certainly interesting.. I can definitely see examples of it in others and in my life. It doesn’t always happen with any door I’ve known though. If one were to explore this theory further, I think it might come to light that the percentile you have assigned to certain doors may be different to other people, and may even fluctuate with your.

The idea needs more data. Keep logging. You can get a push button tracking app, click it when you go through doors. See how many times in a day. A week, etc. see if those numbers seem to matter.

There’s a thought there’s all this talk of AI being so good at coding, maybe it can code an app that does what you suggest 🤔🤔

You can by an LTC card for about $10. It’ll pair with your phone, and give you extremely precise tracking. In one were interesting that sort of thing.

Tracking to where though. I don’t want to find out I’ve been secretly transported to a planet in another galaxy 😂

Hah. Hard to say. As Vonnegut’s Billy Pilgrim might say, “So it goes…”

Why am I here? I have that issue as well, albeit in a mild form:

I stare at the door and it is saying sorry for causing all that trouble.

I’ve tried strategy one and I’m pleased to announce that I get easily distracted by shiny objects and it doesn’t work for me 🤭

Seriously, how much do you drink a day? (Water I mean) Forgetfulness is a sign of dehydration - in winter with central heating on, it is easy to become dehydrated ;o)

*passes a nice cuppa

I try to drink quite a lot. But probably too many coffees though 😀
