Blocked off time in my calendar to exercise, to try and build good habits and lower stress.

Turns out that a 6:30am push notification that just says "RUN" is not relaxing or helpful.

@plaindocs ooooh, when did this get pricey?

I am old lady levels of sticker shocked about everything in 2025.

@jessie oh I didn't even check the price. You could make a variant where You're getting chased by high prices and that would get you to run?

@plaindocs @jessie I'm continually amused that douglas adams predicted this. (in HGGTG, Lintilla wears a device that will make her feel like she's being chased, so she can run faster.)

@jessie run away!!

@jessie what about, "they're coming..."?
That would at least make me not sleep anymore so why not also get up and run at that point 😂

Just think about how much lower your stress will be after you dismiss that notification and go back to sleep...

@jessie There is an apocryphal anecdote that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once sent a prank telegram to 12 friends. It read ‘All is discovered! Fly at once!’.

One of them was never seen again. :)

@jessie yeah, screw this millions of monkeys/typewriters, I wanna robot who will exercise for me.

@billseitz @jessie do they still make those electric exercisers that zap your muscles into contracting without you having to pay attention? I wonder if using something like that to exercise in your sleep could work

“I’m the Doctor… RUN!”

The disappointment of no Doctor would linger all day though.

@jessie LOL!

I've been working since the stroke to get in better shape, but a message like that would just give me another stroke. CWL.

@jessie @Gargron I remember walking by a daycare in Boston where they had spelled out “RUN” in large letters with children’s paint covered handprints. Took me a moment to remember that it was marathon weekend.
