Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Shitty guide, sometimes these obvious solutions are not an option

[–] illi@lemm.ee 28 points 5 months ago

Right? This is on a "Depressed? Just don't be sad!" level

Burned out and take a day off? A DAY!?

*Maniacally laughter coming from the off …*

Overthinking -> Stop scripts
Uninspired -> Ingest spirits
Scared -> stop playing horror games
Stuck -> /unstuck
Tired -> For the love of god don't go to sleep
Confused -> we all are, honey
Frustrated -> masturbate
Burned out -> go live on an uninhabitated island to escape society
Impatient -> annoy your surroundings
Unmotivated -> why bother?

Oh I'm tired, so I should sleep? Phew, so glad I had this guide to help me figure that out, never would've occurred to me. 🙄

I mean I get things like "frustrated -> take a walk" because that does help me, but I don't really have the luxury to just sleep because I'm tired...

[–] RagnarokOnline@programming.dev 6 points 5 months ago

Ahhh, so that’s my problem. I’ve been doing “walk” when I should’ve been doing “sleep”.

I don’t see the option for “play video games for hours on end”, tho

the comments here are truly negative, maybe these tips doesn't work for you, but some of them worked for me..

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think maybe just get rid of the bogus ones like "sleep" and "take a day off".

Everything else you can do with a little time and effort. Most people with 30 minutes can't opt to sleep in that time, that'd just be 30 minutes of laying down letting your brain try to make up the activity. And even fewer people can afford to say "I'm not coming in to work today"!

[–] electro1@infosec.pub 2 points 5 months ago

Totally agree 👌

[–] isaz@feddit.de 1 points 5 months ago

I think your tips might help well on some level, but not in general. Taking for example burnout: If you are stressed or tired, then one day off sounds like a good thing to do. But a burn out is much, much more, then simply being tired. To suggest that a day off might help against a fully blown burn out is like … suggesting to consume more vitamin A to cure blindness. And it is a bit of a slap in the face of those, who suffer from earnest problems, to read, that they should just take a day off or sleep more, etc. Your tips might be good … on very low level struggles. But they are not (or so I think) the general solution for all the problems you mentioned there. This only as an explanation, why some answers seemed quite negative to you. :)

Thanks! I'm cured!

I am frustrated because this meeting is an hour over time and includes no information relevant for my position.

I cant leave because the last item may invoke a single question i could answer much better in an email.
