No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Every day, as often as possible. I do waking meditation while I work. It improves focus and concentration, and makes the hours fly by.
I don't understand how that would work while working. How can I think of nothing when I have to focus on tasks.
You don't necessarily have to think about "nothing". Just think about what's right in front of you, and then the next thing and the next thing. Be present in this each moment, and then let that moment go, so that you can be present in the next one. Time flies by, but you don't miss an instant. No distractions. No attachments.
Ok I could see that but im almost always multitasking. I just can't imagine doing it.
It actually makes multitasking easier. If you loosen your concentration, you can actually focus on more than one thing at a time. My job is very detail-oriented, and sometimes involves long periods of repetitive manual tasks, that require both mental and physical concentration in order to perform correctly. This type of meditation helps me do everything easily, and without any mistakes.
Once I get in "the zone", I can use both my left and right hands with the same degree of control, and can maintain focus on several tasks at once without having to "switch" back and forth between them. Timing and precision just seem to melt together, and everything becomes effortless and smooth.
Then before I know it, hours have flown by in what feels like minutes, but I haven't lost any time. I remember every detail of what I did. It's like my mind goes quiet, my body goes full-auto, and my entire awareness is just there to observe, record and occasionally course-correct.
