That sounds so British.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm on my second one. It's not working yet.

I'd be quite concerned if I started sounding Australian.
I've just had a disability publication offer me advertising space for my research at a price I can actually afford, which is massively reduced from their general commercial rate. I am astounded and very grateful. The next research project may get off the ground yet.
Yay, Seska! That's great.
That sounds like good news!
Have you ever tried using a timer? *All* my productivity is thanks to using timers. There's a free app called Instant Boss that's really easy to use and it helps keep me focused at work (unless I circumvent it). You can also use a kitchen timer.
Giving myself permission to take breaks and practicing stopping breaks and returning to work is key for me personally. Also helps enormously with housework (yes, I'm kind of a Flybaby, for those of you who know what that is).
...and there goes my timer! Back to work.

That's an interesting idea. My preferred work style is to get entirely lost in it for several hours, but that's not great for my energy levels. I should try shorter bursts of work. I'll look up this Instant Boss thing. Thanks!
Listening to music (or very familiar TV shows) in the background while I work usually helps, but at the moment it's just making me more distracted. I might have to find something else to have in the background.

It's easy to sound Australian, just practise this simple phrase: "Nice weather we're having."
"Nice weather we're having."
Yeah, we wouldn't say that here.
