  • Not sure of this fits your Usecase, but bringing some kind of precooked stew to work might fit it. Some sort of lentil stew could work, as you have both protein and fibre. If you need something readymade you can buy at a store, then it could be something highly preprocessed like protein bars and such, which I would nod advise to have in your diet all the time.

    Back in the days before “The Incident”™ when I was a regular at the office I often had one of those whole-meal-shakes like Plenny/Joylent which covers both protein and fibre and doesn’t take much time to make. But tbh: Having a proper meal with colleagues is important and can be good for your psychological well-being. If you are the weird shake-gulper this might work less good. ;)





  • I have a Fenix 6 Pro, which is one of Garmin’s flagships but already two generations old (It was followed by Fenix 7 and a few weeks ago the brand new Fenix 7 Pro just came out).

    Their stress-measurement is some voodooesque-magik-hokus-pokus-algorithm which’s inner workings Garmin doesn’t really reveal. So from a health-standpoint I would not rely on it. It somehow uses HRV-measurements combined with all the other sensors of the watch to calculate this index but the details are obscure.

    But it is an interesting data point to compare my days. For example the stress-level also is off the charts whenever I’m starting to get sick and it is much lower whenever our child is out of the house ;)

    So: Yes it can be interesting but has no medical relevance, therefore I would not spend the huge price Garmin demands just for this feature. Othe features have more weight for me: It is a SmartWatch with a display which doesn’t need illumination to be readable and runs a week without the need to recharge and it is great for all kinds of sports. :)




  • I would advise you to thoroughly check which earbuds feel comfy enough for long stretches of time. The best noise cancelling is useless if it comes with itching and burning :(

    I have some PixelBuds as they came with my phone - but I’m very sensitive with my inner ear and can’t wear most buds for a longer time. I can endure ear-covering headphones for much longer - but those get to warm in the summer and everyone can see them, so there are definitely drawbacks to this type.
