Never have I ever imagined the state I grew up will end up on the front page of Hacker News. Keralites have a common skill of migrating almost everywhere. They have huge connection with the middle east.
Consuming quality content over overconsumption is the key. Plus if you have already crossed multiple levels of outrage fatigue, then at that point you should be aware of it, hence becoming more calm in future. If you see what is in front of you and know you cannot change anything, why outrage? why fatigue? just move on.

I have 8 years of experience in Gaming and Saas products as Senior QA Engineer/SDET. I've recently finished my Masters in Digital Marketing from UK. I'm open to Marketing/QA/Product/Sales roles. I'm a fast learner, adaptable, looking to solve challenging problems.
For my work-work job, I maintain a dev worklog. The simpler the better. You're not going to increase your productivity by using fancy tools IMHO. KISS it.
Personally I have a text file and using vscode (w/ an extension called 'Insert Date String'), so I have a keyboard shortcut.
I insert the datetime and what I'm currently trying to do and log any pita stuff that happens or general stuff that if my micromanager asked me details of why my ticket took 2 hours to complete and I have a log of all the yak shaving I've done. I also put references to any cool stuff I find that might help me later (I just ctrl-f find them)
If I go for lunch or anything more than 10mins I insert another datetime and enter 'done', when I'm back, same thing but 'start'.
Really-really simple no-brainer. At the end of the day, tally the work and insert something like:
=== 10 hours. I have one text file for months.
There will be a strong temptation to over complicate this. There be dragons.
I really wish all text editors would have a insert date shortcut just like excels ctrl-; It didn't occur to me there would be plugins for that. I'll have to check if Kate and Sublime have that.
