Thinking of my browser tabs as conference talk rooms helps with managing them, somehow.
"A talk on this would be vaguely interesting, but not worth my time" - close the tab.
"I might want to check out a recording of this talk later" - bookmark and close it.
"Worth listening to right here and now" - read the article/use the tool/process the tab right now.

Procrastination is a super-motivater. I can get anything done, as long as it's helping me procrastinate from some other task.

I thought toddlers only had the opposite problem - that they just didn't want to eat.

(I was just waiting for it to cool down a bit. She just finished eating it.)

It's cute how my dog cannot believe there's tasty food in the room and it's not already in her mouth. She's like "what is this **iNjUStiCe**? how can this be allowed??!"

Another thing that's true for India and maybe true for some other cultures too, is that there were thought to be 7 planets in the sky - Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn (the others weren't visible). And the days of the week are named after them in India. So maybe that's the other part of it - 7 also corresponded to the number of known "planets". And people probably postulated some kidn of significant relationship between the planets and the days of the week.

@csddumi
Yeah, that's what got me thinking in this direction - knowing that a lot of ancient cultures used a lunar calendar, and in India even today the original lunar calendar (the "Hindu calendar") is pretty important. So it's a commonality among many cultures, even those that wouldn't have been in contact back in the day.

@csddumi
Good question. I suspect part of it has to do with the moon's cycle being 28 days long (or so I've been told), making a month, and 7 seems to be a reasonably small divisor of that to be the next lower level grouping of days. But at best that's only part of the answer, I think.

What does it mean to "wrap the week"? As in, what do you/the people who've answered have in mind when you say wrapping the week up?

Oh KDE!
Just had Plasma crash on me. Typed out a bug report, installed debug symbols, created a bugs.kde account, ... and there's an "Error submitting your bug report" (with no further details). And then the crash handler program "DrKonqi" itself hangs, and has to be force-terminated. At that point it crosses over from a sad state of affairs to just being funny.

To my understanding, traumatic memories are also established more firmly than learned knowledge and skills, since the brain sees those as warnings about a survival threat. So those would be among the least affected.

My mental model of "working through trauma" is that it happens when the person is able to integrate the traumatic experience into their mental schema without distorting the schema in a maladaptive way. So if you mean new, healthier pathways that make this integration happens, I agree, and I hope that's the way it goes. But if you meant the newer pathways replace those related to the traumatic memory, that sounds both unlikely and something different from working through the trauma.
