Why the sudden jump?

So did you finally just accept the dough is gonna do whatever it wants until it's done? I'm kinda jealous, I tried to make puff pastry at home once and I still have butter in places butter should never be. It takes real skill to not panic when everything is time sensitive like that.

Disagree a bit here. Sounds like your experience actually proves it's a broken hassle, even if you now get why it exists. The unclear info part is exactly what makes people want to dodge it.

Forbidden Island is a good pick if you like that kind of game. Talk with your team about which treasures to get first. It can get crazy if you don't plan your moves ahead. The water coming up makes it scary, but keeping cool helps. We had the most fun with three people for a fair game.

Did you set one big daily goal? I used to do that and always felt behind. Now I pick just three small tasks for the whole morning, like just answering emails or cleaning one shelf. Finishing those makes me feel like I'm actually getting somewhere.
