Dealing with Flat Earthers is a pain. However, I have found a foolproof way to deal with them.

Call their bluff. Tell them, "OK, fine. Let's go. You are going to take me to the Edge of the Earth, and you can prove that you are right."

Most of them are just going to back down and mutter angrily at that point. Very occasionally, you get someone so committed to the bit that they load you and lots of gear up and take you off to see the Edge of the Earth.

And, you do you, but: when I encounter one of those hardcore Flat-Earthers? I go with them the whole way, and when we reach the Edge of the Flat Earth?

I push them off.

Time Management Tips

Set Clear Goals: Start with the end in mind. Define what you want to achieve during your study sessions. Having clear goals helps you stay focused.

Prioritize Tasks: Not all tasks are created equal. Identify your most important and time-sensitive tasks, and tackle those first.

Use a Planner: A physical or digital planner can be a lifesaver. Write down your daily schedule, including study time, and stick to it.

Break It Down: Large projects can be overwhelming. Break them into smaller, manageable tasks to make progress more achievable.

Eliminate Distractions: Identify your common distractions and create a study environment that minimizes them. This might mean turning off notifications, finding a quiet space, or using website blockers.

Time Blocking: Allocate specific time blocks for different activities. This prevents multitasking and helps you maintain focus.

The Two-Minute Rule: If a task takes less than two minutes to complete, do it right away. It prevents small tasks from piling up. If you catch yourself procrastinating, then starting with these small, easy tasks can also help you refocus.

Regular Breaks: Studies show that taking regular short breaks can boost productivity. Use the Pomodoro Technique (25 minutes of work, 5-minute break) to keep your brain fresh.

Reflect and Adjust: Regularly review your time management strategies and adjust them as needed. What's working? What needs improvement?

Self-Care Time: Don't forget to schedule time for self-care, relaxation, and hobbies. A well-balanced life is the key to long-term success.

This is another "hot coffee" lawsuit, meaning, "customer got life-threatening injuries from lack of safety mechanisms, and the company has convinced the press that it's actually Karen Bitching About Breaking A Fingernail."

Whenever you see these: Remember that even sleazeball ambulance-chaser lawyers are not going to take on mega-corporations like McDonald's or Disney if they don't think they have a real case.

It is, in fact, a crime and a violation of lawyer ethics code - like, the kind that can get them sanctioned or disbarred if it's bad enough - to take on cases that they know are bogus; it's considered a waste of the court's time, which is a waste of public resources. They are literally not allowed to present a case to the court that they know damn well is not a valid claim for damages.

If you drop a coffee cup on your foot, and it is bruised and sore for a week... no lawyer is going to help you sue McDonald's for having slippery coffee cups.

But that's the kind of thing they are trying to claim happened here, tried to claim happened in the Liebeck coffee case. (...Don't google for the images unless you have a strong stomach.)

As a chronic people-pleaser, this is my advice for success.

Offer as little as possible. Be terse. Get rid of all those exclamation marks and tidbits about why you want to take a sick day. State your needs clearly and concisely without reason. Start saying “No, I’m unable.” more often. Say Thank You only when the other party deserves it.
