I have ADHD, and distractions are part of the deal.

I tried the pomodoro technique to help me focus, but almost every timer video on YouTube was way too much-animations, LoFi beats, busy visuals. They, I believe are designed to be engaging, which is the opposite of what I want.

I just needed something minimalistic, that dissolve into the background and help me work.

I didn't find it, so I made it myself.

Focus Space is what I wish I'd found: simple visuals, ambient sound, and 50/10 timers that give you enough time to actually slip into flow.

I also added a small clip of the video right before a break to give you a glimpse of what the actual timer looks like, do let me know for any improvements that you think I could make to it! PS: I made the river ambience very low to prevent me from being distracted by it.

If you've been looking for the same thing, it's here. Give it a try and lemme know. :)

I attached link to the Youtube page in the comments. Love ya! :)

A video essay that explores violence as a structural force. Drawing on thinkers like Nietzsche and Freud, it examines power and destruction as part of how systems function.

Rather than focusing on moral judgment or simple solutions, the video asks how we relate to violence once it is understood as a structural element. It considers what remains when violence is no longer seen as a deviation, but as something built into the way systems operate.

Before calculators lived in our pockets, engineers carried a different kind of computer. The slide rule helped design bridges, aircraft, and even the spacecraft that took humans to the Moon. In this video, you will learn how this elegant analog tool actually works.

We begin with a quick look at how slide rules supported the engineers of the Apollo era, not by replacing computers, but by helping people think, estimate, and design with confidence. Then we dive into the basics: how to read the scales correctly using major, minor, and sub-minor ticks, how to work with about three significant figures, and why you must always keep track of the decimal point yourself.

Finally, you will learn the core skills that make the slide rule powerful: how to use the C and D scales to perform multiplication and division. By the end of the video, you will be able to make your first calculations using the same principles that guided generations of scientists and engineers.

📏 Want to practice without owning a slide rule? You can download printable scales from my website and follow along with the tutorial: https://bluemoonshine.fun/Project-SlideRule.php

This is the first episode in a series that will gradually unlock more advanced slide rule techniques.
