Useful tool for preserving intelligence and sanity

This could contribute very positively to the mental health of bassists everywhere. Just visit the link above in a new tab in your browser. Set the alarm for, say, 10 minutes (or maybe even 15 if you're feeling particularly mentally resilient) and then come back and surf OT. You may start to experience some feelings of despair or brain cell death during this part - relax, no need to worry about this again, ever!

Just wait until the alarm goes off, then leave OT alone completely and go do something else until you feel like you're back to your normal intelligence level. The time needed for this might vary considerably. Feel free to experiment with care.

I find myself needing more and more hobbies lately because things have been frustrating me quicker and upping the need for me to just walk away

Finished it at 2 am this morning. I hate multiplying Polynomials so much. So much work for so little reward.
