Preface:
Getting scores in a high percentile like these is uncommon and should differ from what you expect of yourself. I was surprised at the score I got, and glad I got it, but I would've been happy for less, and so will Dental schools!
Also, I want to mention how I felt about resources and what worked for me, but that is coming from someone with a learning style that is likely different from yours; only take my advice if it works for you! You know you best, so I encourage you to study in a way that works. On the other hand, if anything I did sounds promising, definitely use it! A big part of learning how to succeed on the DAT is understanding how you learn. Gotta know yourself before you can conquer this beast.
I hope this helps!
Scores:
PAT - 23 QR - 19 RC - 25 Bio - 30 GC - 24 OC - 25 TS - 26 AA - 25
Background: I am currently a senior with a 3.7~ GPA. I am also a first-generation student, and my unconventional educational background basically equated to no real education before college.
Materials Used (in order of helpfulness):

1. DAT Booster - A wonderful resource for exam preparation. While I didn't have the opportunity to try other resources, I have heard a lot about them, and it sounded like DAT Booster does a better job at focusing on the most critical/high-yield topics, especially in the sciences. I didn't feel like I was doing too many practice problems while still feeling like I was getting enough practice. In other words, I never felt like I was "grinding my gears" when studying and practicing the three sciences tested. While the DAT booster presented a more challenging version of PAT than I experienced on the DAT, it also does an excellent job of preparing you because of that challenge. Stay encouraged if it always feels hard; you may do better than you think on PAT. Reading comprehension practice tests were a great tool to practice under timed conditions. I recommend taking as many full-length tests as possible, which helped me the most. Finally, the QR materials from DAT Booster gave me more of an issue than anything else because of my background; I often felt left behind, confused, or like I wouldn't understand the material. I had to go to external resources like Khan Academy or chat GPT to get my questions answered. That being said, I hear the DAT Booster team is working on improving it, and the QR practice tests are a fantastic representation of the actual test. I got a lower score than my Booster scores predicted on QR, so the scoring may be a poor measure, but the tests themselves felt very accurate to the exam.
2. Quizlet - When it came to reviewing material or, in some cases, learning it - Quizlet was my best friend. I studied as much as I could in a "learning" format for the critical memorized details of the sciences through watching videos, reading bio-notes, and taking notes on what I learned to retain information. Still, I never felt like I'd have enough time to get all the most critical information down before my test date, and that's where Quizlet saved me. I studied new units of DAT Booster's quizlet decks almost every night before bed. I also habitually pulled up Quizlet instead of social media whenever I could. I found that as I would go through the flashcards until I swiped right on each one, confident I knew the answer, I retained that information much better. After getting the same flashcard wrong multiple times in a row, remembering the right answer became much more critical. If you can do all the booster quilts with >80% accuracy (assuming you understand the topics, not just the card's phrasing/answer), I believe you will reach your goal DAT score in at least biology.

Study Timeline: When I started studying, I had three months before my test date. I set a goal to study for at least three hours each day alongside my lab and course load, and I got overwhelmed. At least for me, it wasn't until I changed my goal to an "amount" goal instead of a "time" goal that I started making progress.
I did not get time to study until about a month and a half before my test date; before that, I had only gotten about a week's worth of studying over my semester. I followed Booster's 10-week study schedule rigorously, but because I was behind, I tried to study 2 days of material daily. I ended up having to skip over the material I felt good about during the learning phase to get enough time to study the topics, which I felt more shaky on. That being said, I never skipped a practice test date. I prioritized getting a test in, and if I ever felt overwhelmed, I would do it section by section instead of full-length (although full-length tests are essential).
After I got into the practice/review phase, I noticed the days in the study guide had much less structure than the days in the learning phase, so instead of following the schedule, I spent my days going over topics I felt I wanted to improve based on how I felt during my practice tests. I got to this phase about three and a half weeks before my test date and ended up doing a practice test almost every other day, sometimes separating them when I felt studying would be more productive than testing again (usually when I thought I knew what area I had to improve, and I didn't feel like I made enough progress for a practice test to be practical; I already knew where I needed to focus my study).
The most important thing I did during this time was review the practice tests, seeking to understand not only the correct answers to every question (including what I got right) but also why the wrong answers were wrong and what would have made them true. Since the DAT uses multiple choice - and those choices are almost always real terms or definitions/options - you can learn a lot when reviewing them. This is less relevant for mathematics questions, but conceptual questions always benefit from this.
I also took day-long breaks. For religious reasons, I never studied for one day of the week. Whatever the reason, though, making a standard during this time to not study for some time during the week, almost an unbreakable self-rule, creates a space in your hectic studying to be not allowed to think about or study for the test. With this time, you can truly relax and recuperate. Your brain needs rest, too!
Day of Exam

• Bio (30): I was surprised how many questions were similar to practice tests or were mentioned as high-yield topics. I felt confident about most of my answers, but I always used the process of elimination to ensure I was being as accurate as possible.
• GC (24): I was glad I didn't neglect simple topics in favor of complex ones. There were questions on here that getting right only required a second of review, but without it, I would've missed them. Make sure you feel good about the topics that feel easy! If you get easy questions wrong and only hard ones right, you'll do poorly on the test.
• OC (25): Memorized reactions/conditions, aromaticity, NMR, IR, stereochemistry, and specific experimental reactions were tested. Again, I feel I got the most points by knowing the general reagents and conditions for most reactions, not by memorizing each exception to the rule. Get points on the easier things to memorize if you feel you can't get it all.
• PAT (23): Honestly, having fun here was helpful. It is a stressful section, but it can feel more manageable when you start seeing houses, ducks, hole-punching patterns, etc. I found that the keyhole, TFE, and folding questions were easier than a booster, while the angle ranking and hole-punching were about the same. Cube counting almost felt more difficult, but I marked the difficult ones and came back. The biggest thing here is not to lose points on more straightforward questions by getting caught up on hard ones.
• RC (25): Unlike Booster's representation, the questions on my RC test were more vague and or inferred knowledge and less directly pulled from the passage's wording. My strategy was to speed through the passages and mark only words that were names, dates, numbers, things in "quotes", and any new or odd terminology. I would also mark things that seemed to portray the tone or the author's opinion. I think setting a strict guideline for marking helped me move faster. The marking tool worked slightly less smoothly than Booster, so I used the tutorial to practice single-word/paragraph marking with speed.
• QR (19): This whole section is a trick question; getting caught on difficult questions is a trap. Despite booster predicting a higher score (20-22), I didn't do as well here, but I feel the rule of guessing, marking, and skipping is still valid. I would also mention that you'll often be tempted to double-check an answer, but if you got something that matches exactly, I would just review the logic used to reach the conclusion and then move on. Most questions were word problems; getting proficient at converting into algebraic format is crucial.

What I Think Helped the Most:
If I could distill everything I learned from this experience, it would be

1. Don't worry if you're having a bad day. I had a lot of practice test days where I felt awful; somewhere, I was almost throwing up because of my anxiety, but I still was able to perform better than I anticipated. This knowledge helped reduce anxiety on test day - I knew I did okay even at my worst, so I felt it'd be okay.
2. Focus on high-yield topics: Pay attention to what is often repeated, quizzed, or shows up on practice tests. THESE TOPICS MATTER AND WILL SHOW UP! I remember usually thinking, "But what if studying this is a waste of time because it won't show up?" while that is true when you're low on time; if it's a high-yield topic, do not overlook it. Please ensure you understand those topics and can do them well; these are where easy points can be made, and crucial points can be lost.
3. Have a support group: I didn't mention it above, but without my family and friends being there, checking on my progress, helping lighten the burden of my daily tasks, and being there to listen during stressful times, I would've done terribly on this test. Even if it's the lovely pre-dents on social media, connect with people and get support.
4. Keep studying. Even when it feels like you have it all down or maybe that you'll never be able to learn it all (like how I felt), never stop giving your best, whatever that is, to study and practice. Don't expect the same level of effort or performance from yourself every day, and make sure to take breaks before you break, but also just keep putting in an effort. You can do this!

This story is one that started a long time ago, but still affects my (32F) day-to-day life. Sorry everyone, it's a long one.
It began about 17 years ago, when I was 15 and still in school. I frequented internet forums including several fan sites of video games and books I enjoyed. One of these was a role playing forum where I and five others were writing stories together in our favourite universes. I got along well with the other members and it was a great way for me to learn English. Importantly, we only ever communicated through text, never through voice or video calls.
This is where I met the main character of this story, let's call him Tom. Tom said he was 19 years old, and was the only guy active on the forum. He had a great way with words, was mature beyond his years, and had a natural charisma about him. Naturally, as a 15-year-old with no prior experience with relationships, I was instantly drawn to this mysterious, well-spoken figure. Over the course of a month since meeting him, our conversations grew in frequency and depth, until eventually we spoke to each other on chat clients for 3-4 hours a day. At the same time, we continued writing our stories, including a plethora of romantic scenes between our respective characters. We also shared poems that we had written. It was an intense experience for me - I had never really had such a deep connection with a 'boy' before.
My parents never really taught me the importance of internet safety, and I can't blame them: it was all still very new at this time, also to them. It was Tom and my other friends on the forum that stressed how important it was to keep personal information private, especially when they learned my age. Tom especially was adamant never to share my location or photo with anyone, not even with him. It made me feel safe with him - for how could someone who so actively dissuaded me from sharing my information be a monster?
Of course I fell in love with him, to whatever extent a 15-year-old brain can comprehend love.
From written descriptions I had given of myself, Tom had expressed that he thought I must look beautiful, and so the fool that I was I gathered up the courage to send him a picture of myself anyway, desperate for his approval. He was complimentary, but did ask me why I had sent him a picture. I admitted my feelings for him. Tom was understanding, but stressed that he would never be able to give me what I needed from him.
Still, that did not stop either of us from progressing the nature of our interactions into something more sinister. I call it sinister looking back on it as an adult; at the time it was titillating and exciting. We started to send each other 'kisses' goodnight, sent back and forth explicit drawings depicting characters that looked like us, and described other intimate interactions over chat.
My mother once came into my room and witnessed Tom calling me by an endearing term. She interrogated me and I begged her not to make me break off contact with Tom. She listened to me, but made me promise her to be sensible. I want to scream at her now for not stopping it then.
My school friends did what my mother could not: they were concerned for my safety, and stepped to the headmistress, who called me into her office. After telling Tom about the encounter, he panicked. He told me we could no longer chat, and made me promise to tell the headmistress that it was over. I was heartbroken, but promised him.
I did ask Tom if we could still communicate through other means - we were doing some online art projects together that we both wanted to finish. He said yes, we could still maintain contact over e-mail and forum DM, but chat was off the table for now. I took what I could get.
The years that followed were chaotic. Sometimes our contact would be e-mail only, then we would move back to chat. At times, when things got too hard, I would decide to go no-contact for a while. I had my first real relationships in the lulls, but I would always come back. Tom would always receive me with open arms, either as a friend whenever I was dating someone, or rekindling our romantic interactions when I was not. He was always kind, patient, sensitive, and seemed selfless in his interactions with me. He made me feel so good about myself that I became obsessed with him, convinced he was the love of my life.
Three years in, Tom knew my real name, knew where I lived, and had seen nudes of me (he used one as his desktop background for years). At the same time, I knew nothing about Tom. What was worse, the few details he had unintentionally revealed weren't adding up.
Tom always portrayed our story as one of star-crossed lovers who due to circumstance outside our control could never be together. He told me I would never love him if I ever saw him in real life. First he claimed that his face had been ruined by flesh-eating bacteria. When my biology degree taught me that it's nearly impossible to survive that, he claimed body dysmorphic disorder (which I think to some extent was true).
Things reached boiling point six years into this mess. He slipped up, and revealed a detail about his life that directly contradicted the only concrete thing he had ever told me about himself: his age. I took a day to process, then confronted him, asking him how old he really was. After some initial resistance, he admitted that he had lied.
Mid-thirties, he said. A decade(!) older than he had at first claimed. I should have been furious, but after 6 years of being charmed and manipulated by him, I could only feel sorry for him. When I assured him that nothing between us had to change because of a 'number', he dropped the next bombshell:
Tom: "Alright then. Mid-forties."
I felt like I couldn't breathe. For years, I had been having sexually explicit conversations with someone old enough to be my father when I had believed him to be my age. What was worse, it had all started when I was underage. I gave Tom an ultimatum: either tell me the full truth about who he was; or lose me forever. I gave him two weeks to send me his information. He decided not to, which should have immediately set off the alarm bells that there was even more he was lying about; more he had to hide. I didn't even consider that in the moment; my heart was broken once again, and I cut off contact.
At the time, Tom and I had a number of mutual friends that we both spoke to regularly. Two of these were my cousin and his wife. I went to see them after I found out about Tom's real age, trying to find solace and understanding from someone who also knew him. I felt incredibly betrayed and angry, and asked that they also break contact - maybe that was a bit of an a-hole move. They said no: after all, Tom had never revealed his age to my cousin or his wife. As such, he had never lied to them, only to me, and they were not willing to end their friendship with Tom over that. When I asked what they thought of a 40-year-old having explicit conversations with a 15-year-old, they said that from a certain age, the teenager also has a responsibility in preventing this.
My cousin and his wife were not the only mutual friends that knew what was going on. Amazingly and invariably, NONE of our mutual friends chose to break contact with Tom over this. It caused immense doubt in me. Was I wrong in judging Tom for lying to me? Maybe the lie wasn't so terrible. And all those explicit conversations? Well, I instigated a large number of them, not Tom, so maybe I was equally, if not largely, to blame.
The way I see it now: Tom is like a cult leader: no matter what he does or says, his 'followers' will defend him; even blame themselves if it strips him of guilt. What is worse, anyone who dropped out of his inner circle would feel incredibly isolated and excluded. My friends would not play games with me because they preferred playing games with him. They would not write with me, because writing with him was so much more fun. I wish I'd had the strength to stay away, but one year later I came crawling back, desperate to be included into his circle once again, desperate for his affection that the others seemed to thrive under.
I was 22 at this time. Our contact was sporadic for the next four years - I was hesitant to engage romantically with him, even though part of me, despite everything he had put me through, still 'loved' him (trust me, writing this down, my naivety is making me want to claw my eyes out). I entered a relationship with someone else during this time, and went back to no-contact for most of its 4-year duration. When that relationship ended, Tom and I started talking more again, slowly slipping back into old habits and using the same terms of endearment we had used in the past. Tom revealed more details about himself now - he would talk about his boss, his sister, his friends, his home-town, and discussed things that were going on in his personal life. We also started talking over voice-chat, and damn it, he had an attractive voice.
I had just turned 27 when a response of his triggered me. We were recalling the early days of our interactions, and I mentioned how he had once accidentally sent me an e-mail from a throwaway account. I recalled the address letter by letter (I have a mild form of autism). He went very quiet, and then said that my memory was astounding.
Something in my lizard brain decided to look up the name in that e-mail address. I had done the same 12 years prior, but I had much more information now. It took me three hours to cross-reference the tidbits of information he had fed me over the months and years within the context of this name. And what do you know: it WAS his real name. I continued looking for the rest of the evening.. and I found much more than I bargained for.
You see, Tom was not the only person registered to his house. He was reported to live there with a woman who shared his last name, let's call her Hannah. I naively thought she might be the sister he mentioned (though he had given another name). Fortunately for me, Hannah was a lot less careful than Tom with her personal information, and I soon found a link to her blog on her Twitter page. A goldmine of information, going back over 10 years, covering almost every single day since Tom and I started talking.
My blood went cold as I started reading. It soon became clear to me that not only was Hannah his WIFE of 25-or-so years, they had an 11-year-old SON together (let's call him Jacob). I was 100% sure it was his wife writing - I could easily cross-reference the little things he had told me (assembling a bookcase, having lamb for dinner, visiting SIL for the weekend, getting a sunburn) with the details she was sharing about their life.
Once more, I should have run for the hills. Once more, I didn't. I often wonder how I could have been so stupid as to let this shitshow continue for so long, despite the thousand-and-one reasons Tom had given me to drop him. I can only attribute it to some kind of twisted sunk cost fallacy. By recognising Tom for the monster that he was, I had to face having loved that monster for over a decade. It meant admitting to myself that I was a terrible judge of character, and how could I possibly trust anyone ever again if I could not trust my own judgment? Also, all our mutual friends had always normalised his behaviour to the extent that it seemed almost arrogant to say that HE was in the wrong.
Because of the reactions that I had received from my friends and cousin last time, I kept what I knew to myself, even from Tom. Enter the next ridiculous phase of the story: Tom was saying how he was ordering a passport SO THAT HE COULD COME TO VISIT ME AND MY COUSIN. And idiot that I was, I wanted nothing more, because I was STILL IN LOVE WITH THE SH*T even after everything he had done, now not only to me, but also to his wife Hannah and his son.
I met him in real life five months later. He would be visiting my house for the day, and I was planning to confront him about what I knew. I had given one of my close friends his real name and address, and had told them to contact the police in the event they didn't hear from me by evening - I had no idea how Tom would react when exposed. Probably the fact that I felt unsafe in the first place should have been enough reason not to meet him alone.
We met, and I wish I didn't feel attracted to this 50-year-old but I did. We talked a lot. Eventually, I decided to test him, to see if he would be disloyal to his wife. While our conversations had definitely been flirty over the past year or so, I had never actually been straight with Tom and told him I still felt the same way. So I told him. Credit to him where it is due, he said he couldn't pursue a relationship with me, but followed it up with 'that we could still hold hands and hug'. He did not tell me why he couldn't, of course.
Only then did I reveal what I knew. I told him I've known for months now what his real name is, where he works, where he lives, and who he lives with. I probably could've been a bit more sensitive in how I brought it up (but let's be honest he doesn't deserve it and I was pretty pissed off keeping this stuff inside for 5 months). He turned incredibly pale and said that I could ask him anything I wanted to know. I asked him about his wife and their relationship (which hadn't been good for years according to him), his son (the pride of his life), and why on earth he had chosen to have explicit exchanges with a 15-year-old as a married man ('I was drunk').
During his stay, we were never intimate in the 'spicy' way, but we did hold hands a lot, he would have his hand on my leg, and we shared long hugs. He stayed the nights at my cousin's, and a few days later he left to go back to his country.
I am not proud of what happened next. Over the next months, we video chatted almost every evening. The conversations got flirtier, the amount of clothes we were wearing diminished until we both went into the calls topless.
One night, things escalated. We had gotten into a fight earlier in the evening - he had revealed that during that first real-life meeting, he had made an audio recording of the whole conversation, apparently so he could later prove to his wife that nothing happened. I responded that it was ok (it totally wasn't but that's beside the point), that I had taken precautions as well, and told him about the friend I had contacted. He lost it, saying I had no right to share his personal details with my friend or anyone else. I got angry in return, saying that he had no reason to distrust me as in the 12 years of knowing each other I had never lied to him; on the other hand I had EVERY reason to distrust him as he literally hid a wife and son from me, and had lied to a 15-year-old girl about his age.
We were both emotionally drained after, and I took things a step further that night, and seduced him into doing more together in front of the camera, maybe knowing that he would be too drained to refuse. He asked me later if I had consciously manipulated him into going along with it, choosing a vulnerable moment to strike - maybe I did, and I regret it.
Over the next months, our 'mishap' developed into a full-blown affair. I visited his home-town about 5 times in the year that followed. We kissed, and did basically everything apart from the 'deed' itself. I think he never wanted to have traditional sex either because then he could keep justifying to himself that he hadn't cheated on his wife, or because he was terrified of getting me pregnant. During my stays in his home-town, he would bring his son Jacob along to our lunches and dinners. Mostly to pacify his wife I suspect, for how could it be an affair with his son around? I loved the kid, we got along well, but I hated the lie that I had to live. To put myself through this was one thing, but it was so unbelievably unfair on Hannah and Jacob.
The whole situation sent me into severe depression. I was abandoning my morals for this man whom I still could not trust. I was lonely, and didn't date because I refused to be a cheater myself (maybe hypocritical). With every real-life meeting, his mask slipped further, and by the end there was little left of the charismatic, caring man that I had imagined him to be. Still, I was so entangled with him that I could not imagine my life without Tom. I did not know who I was without this person, who had completely overshadowed at this point almost half my life and all my adult life. I was stuck.
Eventually, I gave Tom an ultimatum again: Hannah, or me. I gave him two months to make up his mind. We spoke daily, and as his 'deadline' was approaching he became verbally aggressive with me, saying that he wasn't enjoying our conversations as much as he used to because I kept bringing up the choice he had to make. I asked him what he needed from me. He said he needed more time. I am ashamed to say I gave him that time.
I was lucky to have found two very close friends among my colleagues over the course of this whole drama. They had slowly witnessed the situation devolve into something unmaintainable. One of them often visited when I had panic attacks; she even slept next to me on the bad nights to make sure I'd be ok. They recommended me to make written lists of the red flags that I saw, the abusive behaviours Tom had demonstrated, and the effects the whole situation was having on me. They made me see how he would never choose me, that he was happy using everything and everyone as long as it served his needs. They slowly guided me into making the right decision during a work conference, when I didn't have time to contact Tom. Being away from his reach for a week, combined with the continuous talks with my two friends throughout the conference, made me strong enough to make a decision. Together, we agreed that as soon as I got back home, I would call Tom and cut ties with him. My friends would be available on call straight after.
Thanks to my friends, I went through with it. I cut contact almost three years ago now. As expected, he did not fight for me, and never tried to contact me again. My friends saw me through the worst of it.
Four months after cutting ties with Tom, I met the man who is now my husband, and we are currently expecting a baby. He makes me unbelievably happy, and has taught me what a loving relationship should feel like. He knows about this whole story and is very supportive. He even encouraged me to post this as he believes it'd help me process things.
I am still in touch with some of Tom's friends: my cousin, his wife, and a 40-year-old woman who has been my friend since the start of this whole story and was my MOH during my wedding. I have decided not to hold it against them that they cannot let go of Tom - hell, I couldn't let go for 14 years. It just demonstrates the horrible grip and influence he has on people. My MOH and I have an understanding that we don't discuss Tom, and that saved the friendship - we actually have a lot in common and enjoy each other's company a lot. I refuse to lose any more people over him.
I am in a good place now, looking forward to the future, and can't wait to meet our child. Still, this experience has not left me unscathed. I still struggle with trust, in other people and myself, and feel that I am responsible for a lot of what happened. I feel incredibly ashamed and naive for my behaviour over the years. I especially feel horrible about what I did to Hannah and Jacob - as far as I know, Tom never told them about the affair, but I would be very surprised if Hannah didn't know what was going on. I do have my suspicions that I am not the only one Tom did this with, but I have no proof, and it does not take away any of my responsibility in all of this.
So reddit: did I seduce Tom as a 15-year-old, or did he groom me and manipulate me into falling for him? Or was our interaction simply toxic on both sides, and not any one person's fault? And AITA for having pursued this affair even after I found out Tom was married? Also, should I reach out to Hannah (though honestly I would be a bit scared to do so, and I don't feel at all like reinserting myself into Tom's life in any way)?
And finally the question that still keeps me up at night: did Tom ruin half my life, or did I do that all by myself? And if I had a role to play in this, am I fit to be a mother?
TL;DR: As a 15-year-old, I fell in love with a man who claimed he was 19 but was actually 40. 12 years later, I found out he had a wife and son, but had become so infatuated with him that I pursued an affair with him. I ended the affair two years later but still feel guilty. I feel like much of what happened is my responsibility, since I instigated most of the intimacy. AITA?

Long long story sorry. Rules set out by soon to be Husband 1, no church. OK no problem 2, no cake. OK far to expensive anyway 3, equal number of guests. Interesting as 4 including him in his family, 10 in mine, plus 10 mutual friends plus his work mates who had children/teenagers so allowed for plus ones for each teenager as I know the venue had arcade and at least they could enjoy it. 12 people total of 38 just incase. So I ordered Package deal of Christmas set meal of 12 starters, 12 Mains and 12 Deserts choice for each person which also included 50 tickets per person on the arcade game machines one of which was white water rapids I wanted to go on. 4, no wedding Dress. He believed that as we add been living together for 10 years there was no point in a wedding dress. Wrong ì would ware what I wanted to. 5, no flowers. He did not understand it was already decorated for Christmas as we were having registered wedding on 18th December. 6, an extra place was to be set for his deceased brother. I had never met his brother and as he was paying nothing towards the wedding there was no way I was having my family pay for a full meal for a ghost. 6, Who would be our witnesses. Agreed. 7,no top table (no idea how to explain that to parents) 8, no speeches (not his choice so tough)
Registrars rules 1 no alcohol in room ( room had a bar in it and had to be emptied before wedding which venue kindly did) 2 no religious themes in room (exception for Christmas Decorations as long as no crosses,) 3, no walking down an aisle (so Bridesmaids and farther of the bride cannot walk together STUPID RULE) my Dad did not get to walk any of his daughters down an aisle, I did offer to take him to Tescos so we could walk down an aisle which made him laugh and he was OK with that)
Bridesmaids, Sister and Niece told, venue was totally floor to ceiling red, as the room at Dave and Busters was set for Christmas. Dresses were paid for by my parents, in any choice of style, colour and length totally their choice. I ended up paying for Husband to be leather trousers and I had brought him a shirt which he did not want to ware and said he would buy his own. Not sure why I had to buy leather trousers. During fitting no available dresses in my size to try so dressmaker surprised me by getting my size 10 Sister to try the dress on. Mom was so happy as my sister didn't wear a wedding dress for her wedding. No way would I look anything like her as I was a 20 the dress had to be 2 sizes up from that due to fitting and Sister 5ft 0in I am 5ft 8in she is blond blue eyes I am mousey and Hazel eyes. I could not say a thing as parents were paying and mom was happy.
The wedding hell ( day)
Hairdresser took 4 hours for 2 do ups 1 wash and blow dry. I told him to do same as usual, which usually took 30 minutes however he decided to add a little body to my hair which I said OK, but he had spoken to my mother, they agreed ringlets would look great, I hate ringlets and curly hair. I felt awful as he put curlers in for body, sprayed it with stuff and left me for 3 hours whilst he did the others, promising me the spray would make it have a slight wave, like hell. Others looked great and no time to fix it, as had to get ready.
So Bridesmaids wore red satin A line dresses (yep you could not see them in a red room)Dad ordered cars, not 2 as we had agreed but 1 taxi for all of us. 2 Bridesmaids, Dad, Mom ME and driver packed in. We passed groom on way as he left a pub. He was late! Photos taken of me, angry bride getting out of packed car whilst snowing. 1 taken. Brother was photographer and realised not a happy bride. Photos of everyone else by Christmas Trees. My groom turned up slightly drunk and said the most amazing thing to me that I was surprised I married him but all I could think was how much everything had cost my parents.
We had to met with Registrars before wedding in a room and were asked about the order of service they provided we said short as we wanted to let guests enjoy the venue. We were asked if they could do a reading. Expecting they meant a religious one we said no thank you. Guess not turned up out of 35, 10 all his work mates 6 of which turned up at 8pm after a 2pm wedding. Expecting to be fed the wedding meal which was finished hours previously so they expected us to pay for an evening meal for them. Answered No chance. £1,000 wasted on there food alone. Anyway the "service" consisted of us answering yes to our names whilst we were seated on a stage with only Registrars bride and groom. No one else allowed all others seated in no order and then the registrar stood up and said the bride and groom did not want a reading but they needed to complete the paperwork so here is a reading of a poem! Don't remember saying yes to that. That was it. We signed a book or 2 and it was over, no option to stop the wedding which I was going to do but to late. I had 2 dresses one a wedding dress and a change for the meal after the service, a black satin dress which was how I felt. I went to change. At which point one of the witnesses decided to do a toast to the bride and groom and I was not in the room, it took me 3 minutes to change dress and shoes. My Dad did not get a chance as the meal was ready. And I was back, The meal was buffet style with all 12 of each option per person it was huge. Everyone looked at me to be seated as there were 3 sets of tables. I said please sit where ever you like. I went to a table and sat down my husband sat next to me on my other side were 2 mutual friends his parents my parents and next to my husband was his mom's friend I had not met who had dementia and called my husband his deceased brothers name for the next hour. At the end of the meal I gave out the tickets for the arcade, having 500 tickets extra, strangely I was left with no tickets left to go on the ride but as it turned out i did not get the chance. Why well, Husband was so drunk, he started a fight with his Dad. It got so bad that I had people telling me to take him home. Angrily I arranged it having had a 2pm wedding which finished with a passed out Husband on the bed at home by 4.15pm 2 and a quarter hours wedding. He proceeded to wake and went to the upstairs toilet but managed to throw up on the carpet midway, yes I could have got it cleaned but why should I. So I cut a huge hole out wrapped it up and put it in the bin, blaming him for cutting the carpet up after puking. Which he believed for many years and still does. We got conned for 6 bottles of champagne instead of 5 which was for 25 adults because my sisters son had a glass and they had to open an extra bottle but he was under age and already told no alcohol. Then whilst opening our presents at home on my own while everyone else was at the wedding with evening entertainment and buffet I had a phone call for the remaining bill to be paid and I had to play chase ringing my Dad at a quiet time to go and pay the remaining balance as he was still there. So I spent the rest of the night on my own. Nice Ho almost forgot the special something my groom said to me as soon as he arrived seeing me dressed up "What the f**k do you look like?" Just as we were called into the registrar meeting.
For background were dated for 5 years lived together for 10 years were married for 19 years 359 days we divorced absolute 6 da6s before 20 years married. Now 5 years divorced so much better.

How I used uppromote and private label rights to make an affiliate programme that has generated me $3,000 in profit for the past two months.
I have tried many strategies to make money in the past but this is the first that has worked for me: the plr affiliate method. (This is a long read so I apologise in advance)
So first things first, what is PLR? I wasn’t sure either until January of this year when I stumbled across a video on YouTube. This is Private Label Rights, this means that essentially you buy the rights to sell something as your own and you keep all of the profits. This can be e-books and courses.
This essentially was a lightbulb switch moment for me. I could get a finished product and sell it as my own and keep all of the profits. I tried creating content myself and created a shopify website and put my finished product ebook in my bio (YouTube any video on how to list a digital product on shopify). I then put the shopify link in my bio, this was not a success and I realised that I would have to think outside the box to make this work.
I had another moment of inspiration, what if I was able to ask social media accounts with an established following to put the link in their bio and I would offer them a percentage of every sale they make (I offered a 50/50 cut). So for the next few days I grinded and sent direct messages and emails to Instagram and tiktok accounts, I mainly targeted accounts with large followings that did not have any links currently in their bio and I have had the greatest success with these accounts. I was able to create the affiliate programme on shopify using a plug called uppromote, there are many videos that explain how to set this up on YouTube.
So why would accounts with large following agree to my proposal despite them supplying all of the following?
The answer is simple, a lot of people have a great ability to create content, but perhaps do not have the business acumen or have the motivation to create a revenue stream themselves. This method provides them a easy solution to this problem.
After a lot of grinding and a lot of messages I had gained clients and five months later I’m at the point where I have 31 affiliates selling my e books and courses in their bio. The total following of these accounts is 8.4 million followers across all platforms - a following I would not have been able to attain myself with my content creation skills.
The numbers, what everyone is here for! This method has generated me $11,000 in profit since January (50% of sales went to affiliates so $22,000 revenue). Things started out slow but are picking up fast, last month has been particularly good, generating me $3,000 in profit from easy and passive income.
Problems and issues I’ve encountered: understandingly so the accounts often want to see the product they are selling before they agree to be an affiliate for the product. I originally had a problem finding high quality products, I am not going to name the website I would recommend for those looking high quality plr on here as I received downvotes last time (I am not going to name it here as I was called a shill the other time I did this haha) but you can send a message to me and I can give you advice on where to look. This website offers a bundle which provides a wide array of high quality finished products that are from all sorts of niches. I have found other plr products that I have purchased to be of bad quality so it is important to find a good website.
I’m sure you are wondering the following question: if you are making money off of this why are you sharing with us? The answer is simple, there are hundreds of thousands of social media accounts with large followings, this method is unsaturated and I figured it could help make someone else’s life a little easier financially.
Why do I recommend this method? 1.) Once established this method is completely passive 2.) You gain exposure to large followings that would take years to build. 3.) relatively low set up costs. The bundle I recommend purchasing is $199 and shopify monthly payments are roughly $50 per month. There are no other costs incurred. 4.) unlimited earnings potential. There’s no ceiling as to what you can earn. The more accounts that agree to become an affiliate for you the more you will make
I hope you enjoyed the read , if you have any questions don’t be afraid to ask them below.

The purpose of this guide is to give an updated step to playing Fate Stay Night using Kirikiroid2. The information listed here has some outdated steps and missing steps that i'll try to rectify, primarily this is to fix a problem with the patch listed in the thread as well as to give a reliable source for the patches you'll need. all informations here are taken directly from that thread so you can skip some steps here and there if you already read the thread before. Hopefully you'll find this helpful.
First things first is.
WHERE TO FIND THE NECESSARY FILES
-To find them just go to this archive page. There you'll find all the necessary files that you need to patch and play the game including full maingame files of Fates-Heaven's Feel-Unlimited Blade Works and extra patches like the H-Patches. I'm not sure if this is considered pirating or not so if it violates some rules here then please let me know.
Anyways with that out of the way let's start with
DOWNLOADING KIRIKIROID2
-There's two different versions of Kirikiroid2 that i'm gonna list here and both are pretty much the same except that the other one is far more easier to install than the other.
-First is the original Kirikiroid2 which is unfortunately removed from the playstore but thankfully you can get it here i can't guarantee your safety in that website, as far as my test goes it's a safe website but your mileage may vary. You can download it elsewhere too if you can find another website hosting it. This original version requires Lucky Patcher to use, i'll get to how to patch it later but for now just keep that in mind.
-The other one is a lot more easier to get and it's afaik an enhanced version of it called Yuri. Here's the github page, if it doesn't linked to it then just search it up, the first result should be it. It has a nice addition of being license free so there's no need for lucky patching. I recommend this version due to the convenience of not needing a shady app to use it in the first place.
Now if you instead prefer the original for whatever reasons you'll need an app called Lucky Patcher which you can download at their website, the first result should be that but if you can't find it it has "ChelpuS" in the main page of the website.
Afterwards install the apk and open it.
Search up Kirikiroid2 app and tap it,
you should now see some menus pop up, tap the patch menu and ignore the rest.
Tap the "LVL Emulation" option highlighted in green that shows up and checkmark the option at the very top.
Now just rebuild the apk and wait for it to finish.
Once it's finish uninstall and reinstall the apk and the license verification should automatically succeed, you can go ahead uninstall Lucky Patcher if you feel paranoid about the warnings.
With Kirikiroid2 installed here's comes the most important step
HOW TO PATCH THE GAME
-To patch the game first you'll need all the patches files inside the archive i linked previously. The one you should download is Fate Stay Night Realta Nua English.rar if you don't have the maingame files then go ahead and download the rest too.
Once downloaded open the .rar and copy the faterealtanua_savedata on to the maingame root folder.
With that done go back to the .rar and copy these files: allpatch_english.xp3
allpatch_flowchart.xp3
allpatch_op.xp3
allpatch_vita_ost.xp3
allpatch_wakame.xp3
flowchart.pdf
patch_english.xp3
patch_h.xp3
patch_op.xp3
rinpatch_english.xp3
rinpatch_h.xp3
rinpatch_op.xp3
sakpatch_english.xp3
sakpatch_h.xp3
sakpatch_op.xp3
On to the faterealtanua_savedata folder inside the maingame root folder. You can exclude some of them if you don't want the H-Patches for example but the most crucial one you should get is the english.xp3s
-Now you should have everything you'll need to play the game except for the kirikiroid2 patch but there's a problem with the original patch. The issue comes from trying to open the menu which results in an error message when using the original Fate Stay Night Kirikiroid2 patch in the thread i linked before.
To fix that simply go to zeas2 github page, go to his kirikiroid2_patch github page and tap the PATCH LIST highlighted in blue inside the page.
You should now see a filter search bar up top, tap it and search up "Fate" it should list 2 patches below it.
Pick the one top one for hollow ataraxia and download it, after downloading it open it up and copy "Override2.tjs" and "Patch.tjs" specifically on to the maingame root folder, ignore the rest.
Once that's done the problem should now be fixed and you can enjoy the game fully.
Last Step
HOW TO PLAY IT
-Well it's pretty obvious. Just open up Kirikiroid2, mess around with the settings if you need to, and scroll till you see the maingame root folder. Mine is "Fate／stay night[Realta Nua] -Fate-" but yours can be different too depending on where you download it.
-Open the folder, scroll around till you see data.xp3 and tap it. There you go, enjoy the game!
Note: you actually CAN use the .exe instead of data.xp3 to start the game but idk if it affects anything nor do i know if it's better or not. Since most people recommend data.xp3 i recommend sticking to that but it's worth a mention at the very least
AND THAT'S IT!
i hope this isn't too cluttered and complicated to follow. Like i said before all of the informations here are taken directly from the thread i linked up top, the main purpose of this guide is to fix the problem present in the thread regarding the crucial patch that you need to play the game along with linking a safe and reliable source for the patches you'll need. If you find any problems or have any questions regarding the guide then feel free to ask in the comment, i'll try my best to answer them.
Happy Playing/Reading!:)

So I’ve had the worst pride month so far and just need to vent, buckle in cause this is an EXTREMLY long one.
Some backstory I (17f soon to be 18) have known I was into women since as young as 13, I had unlimited access to the internet and knew about different sexualities so it was very easy for me, well for the longest while I went by pansexual. I had come out to my mom almost a year ago as her and I were always close, well she just didn’t care and almost pretended like I didn’t. This year however I realized that I was actually a lesbian and came out to her and 2 weeks before pride month, it didn’t go all to well and our relationship is a bit strained but it was fine until this past weekend.
Onto the worst pride month of my life:
Saturday June 1st:
Well comes June first, I worked at 6am and got home at 12, I had a rough day at work and was just ready to relax, well my mom and I step out the car and suddenly I am being cornered by my ex step-father (him and my mom broke up about 6 months ago at this point and he already moved out months ago). Apparently he found my socials which clearly state I’m a lesbian and felt it was his “duty” to tell my mom even though they aren’t together any more 😒. He proceeded to tell her had had screenshots and blah blah blah in case I tried to deny it but obviously I didn’t because my mom already knew.
WELL she threw me under the bust and pretended she didn’t know just to appease him, I was annoyed by this so I just went inside to my room and locked my door. Well about 10-15 minutes later she comes banging on my door and is fuming with me, apparently my ex step-father didn’t want my brothers (I have 4 brothers who are his kids) living with me and was threatening to take them and it was my fault. She blamed me for everything saying I ruined her life (yes HER life, not mine who has just been outed, HERS) she forced me to take down all gay stuff from my accounts and I ended up setting them to private them.
Well later my my ex-stepfather starts calling my phone, I don’t answer obviously so he sends my brother to come call me so we can talk (I later found out he outed me to my brothers as well and asked them if they knew I was a lesbian, not cool dude 😒). Well he surprised me by talking about how he raised me since I was 2, and didn’t care what identified as and loved me regardless (dude never apologized for what he said or did but I’ll give him a pass). Well he was about to say something else, when his mother started CRYING saying him leaving ruined her life, (Yes his mom still lives with us, that’s a whole story in itself) so he left. I had one more fight with my mom about everything and then that was the end of day 1, Yep just day 1, more shit happened on day 2 and 3.
Sunday June 2nd:
So it is now June second and obviously I was pretty upset considering the events on the previous day as not only was it pride month but my 18th was only a month away, I had work that day but called out because after the shit show the day prior I was NOT in any place mentally to go to work (about 80% of my co-workers are apart of the lgbtqia+ community and I knew seeing them all happy about pride month would make me upset). So instead I went out with a friend as we had already prior made plans to go thrifting that day before I had work and after the day I had the other day this was just what I needed. Well it was a fun and eventful day ending with us getting lost and (once again a story for another day). Well I get back home and ex-stepfather is in the kitchen? I say good evening out of respect and head to my room when DAMN I’m being cornered AGAIN, I thankfully got to relax a little before I was attacked but suddenly my mom comes to my room and is furious.
Apparently my ex-stepfathers sister had found out (who lives all the way in Jamaica by the way, and this went down in Canada) and was nagging my mom about it and blaming my ex-stepfather for me being a lesbian and my mom was not happy about it. (Yes she is still in contact with his family, and the reason she blames him is cause he cheated and treated my mom horribly so she thinks he made me hate men 😒).
My mom was mad he was getting blamed for me being a lesbian, and for me being hostile with him the day before and today (yes she still loves him, once again another story, I feel like at this rate I should create a post for these 😂). This starts an argument between us because I tell her he had no right to out me to my brothers or her, even if she already knew (I don’t know if anyone else knows) She once again talks about how she’s struggling with this and I accidentally sigh out loud (I mean common though if you’re struggling then what about me) well one thing leads to another and we end up fighting, she tries to say I can’t be a lesbian because I dated my ex boyfriend (even though he was the only guy I ever dated before realizing I was lesbian and we’ve had numerous conversations where I told her that she made me feel pressured to date him). Well the fight got super heated and I did say something I’m not proud of after she told me to go read a bible, this resulted in her telling my to call my dad to pick me up so I can stay with him for a while (this is legally allowed as he does have part custody of me and I turn 18 in July)
Eventually after slamming doors and me almost calling my father, we calm down and have a talk (I still live with her currently) the conversation didn’t really go anywhere and we did end up fighting again, this time over different religious views and me talking about how I felt pressured by her to date my ex. The conversation ended because we had to pick up my sister from work and we never picked it up again, it’s still feels like she wasn’t trying to understand me, but I was too exhausted to put any more effort in.
Monday June 3rd:
Never fear this is the last day of the saga and it thankfully was happy, in the end.
Well, it’s Monday and I have to go back to school and it’s also my Bio fathers birthday (which I totally forgot about due to the prior days events and felt extremely bad), I thought I was ok but after a couple pride month announcements, I ended up leaving class and had a breakdown in the hallway (I’m ok now, all the weekends events just finally caught up to me that day). Well, I was found by some teachers and was brought to guidance to talk to somebody after I went back to class and and talked to my teacher about everything who offered me her support (she is an absolute sweetheart, and I love her so much🩷).
Well, I made the executive decision to just tell my father because considering the fact that people in Jamaica were finding out he was going to find out at some point and I wanted him to find out from me (I did intend on telling him, just after my 18th in July incase things went south with my mom, which they almost did).
I sent him a text and turned off my phone for the day, thankfully his response was much more loving than my mothers and he told me he loved me regardless, he picked me up from my moms and we ended up spending the day together and later on we picked up my sister and watched a movie together. I didn’t speak much to my mom this day, aside from telling her I was going out with him.
Well this is it so far, it’s been 6 days but I still can’t get over everything so I just wanted to vent. As of right now my relationship with my mom is improving but still strained and I don’t think it will ever go back to how it was before. Especially considering the fact that my father was very accepting of me, and even my ex-stepfather was more accepting of me than her despite the way he initially reacted.
Well, this is it if you somehow read this entire thing and thank WOW and thank you. If anyone wants clarification, feel free to ask and I’ll edit them onto the post. Also if anyone is curious, I am more than willing to talk about some of the other stories of my family (Trust me it gets CRAZY)

BY BRENDAN BASTINE MAY 31, 2024 ARTICLES

In today’s fast-paced world, where demands constantly tug at our attention, mastering productivity and prioritization has become more crucial than ever. The ability to navigate through an ever-growing list of tasks efficiently can mean the difference between success and overwhelming chaos. Yet, despite the importance of these skills, many find themselves struggling to juggle competing priorities and deadlines. Struggling with productivity and prioritization isn’t your fault. The sad truth is that no one teaches you how to prioritize, how to juggle competing priorities, or how to be productive. Let’s take a look at some of the strategies to help streamline workflows, manage your to-do list and regain control of your time management.

Consolidate Your Task List

The first step in regaining control over your tasks is to consolidate them into a single, centralized location. Scatterbrain is the enemy of productivity, and having tasks strewn across various platforms only adds to the confusion. By consolidating your tasks, whether through a dedicated task management app or a simple digital document, you create a clear and organized space where all your responsibilities reside. This not only reduces the risk of overlooking or losing sight of important tasks but also provides a comprehensive overview of your workload.
If you’re already using a task management app, take advantage of its integrations to streamline task consolidation further. Many apps offer integrations with popular tools like calendars, emails, and communication platforms, allowing you to sync tasks seamlessly across different tools despite where the task originated. By harnessing the power of integrations, you can ensure that all your tasks are synchronized and up-to-date, eliminating the need to switch between multiple apps and reducing the risk of missing deadlines.

Prioritize Your Tasks

Once you’ve consolidated your task list, the next step is to prioritize your tasks effectively. Not all tasks are created equal. Attempting to tackle them in random order can lead to inefficiency, frustration, and missed deadlines. One popular framework for prioritization is the Eisenhower Matrix, which categorizes tasks based on their urgency and importance.
At the top of the matrix are tasks that are both urgent and important—these are your high-priority tasks that require immediate attention. These could be deadlines, important meetings, or critical deliverables that cannot be delayed. Next are tasks that are urgent but not important. These are your medium-priority tasks that require your attention. Due to the urgency of these tasks, it’s important these are scheduled to be completed prior to their deadline. These could be meetings, project management tasks, or collaboration efforts. Some may choose to delegate these tasks, especially if you are unable to meet the required deadline and they do not require your specific skill set. Then come tasks that are not urgent but important—these are your low-priority tasks that contribute to long-term goals but can be scheduled flexibly. Finally, there are tasks that are neither urgent nor important. The Eisenhower matrix dictates that these tasks should be deleted. I, however, disagree. These tasks made the list because you deemed them necessary to complete. These are your time-filler tasks that can be tackled during downtime or delegated to others. I know what you’re thinking, who has down time? Consider using time between meetings or other scheduled tasks to complete these. Whenever possible, these tasks should be delegated and given a due date.
When prioritizing tasks, it’s essential to assess their relative importance and urgency objectively. While some tasks may seem urgent due to external pressures or deadlines, it’s crucial to differentiate between true priorities and mere distractions. Seeking guidance from managers or colleagues can also provide valuable insights into the relative importance of competing tasks, helping you make more informed decisions about where to focus your time and energy.

Integrate Your Task List with Your Calendar

Once you’ve prioritized your tasks, the next step is to integrate your task list with your calendar to create a structured schedule. Your calendar serves as a roadmap for your day, guiding you through your tasks and appointments with clarity and purpose. By merging your task list with your calendar, you can ensure that your time is allocated efficiently and that no important tasks slip through the cracks. Most integrations will only show you the task name and will likely link back to the task itself for details. When creating tasks, ensure the summary is descriptive, especially if the due date is scheduled a few months out. The important thing to remember is that the task itself is on your calendar to complete. The details of the task can be looked up if they are not brought over to the task itself.
(I recently made a guide to color-coding your calendar; read the guide OR, if you’re a visual learner, watch the video.)
One effective strategy for integrating your task list with your calendar is to employ color coding to visually differentiate task priorities. For example, you could use red to represent high-priority tasks, orange for medium-priority tasks, green for low-priority tasks, and blue for time-filler tasks. By color coding your calendar, you create a visual cue that makes it easy to identify task priorities at a glance, allowing you to focus your attention on the most important tasks first.
In addition to color coding, it’s also helpful to label your calendar entries with descriptive titles that provide context about each task. This ensures that you have a clear understanding of what needs to be done and why it’s important, helping you stay focused and motivated throughout the day. By integrating your task list with your calendar in this way, you create a seamless workflow that maximizes productivity and minimizes distractions.

Follow the 80/60/40 Rule and Maintain Tasks on Deck

To maintain a consistent level of productivity, it’s essential to follow a structured approach to scheduling your tasks and meetings. One effective strategy is the 80/60/40 rule, which involves allocating a specific percentage of your calendar to tasks and meetings each day, depending on their urgency and importance.
According to the 80/60/40 rule, you should aim to fill 80% of your calendar today with tasks and meetings, leaving the remaining 20% for breaks and unexpected interruptions. Assuming you are working an 8 hour workday, this is equivalent to scheduling 6.5 hours. This allows you to allocate sufficient time to tackle your high-priority tasks while also providing flexibility to accommodate unforeseen changes or delays
Similarly, you should aim to fill 60% (4.75 hours) of tomorrow’s calendar with tasks and meetings, leaving 40% for flexibility and contingency planning. This ensures that you have a clear plan of action for the following day while also allowing room for adjustments based on your progress and priorities.
Finally, you should aim to fill 40% (3.25 hours) of your calendar two to five days out with tasks, leaving 60% for flexibility and long-term planning. This allows you to allocate time for tasks that may not be immediately urgent but are important for achieving your long-term goals, such as strategic planning or professional development.
In addition to following the 80/60/40 rule, it’s also helpful to maintain a list of tasks on deck for flexible utilization. Ideally these are “Time-filler” tasks. These are tasks that can be tackled during downtime or used to fill gaps in your schedule when unexpected changes occur. By keeping a list of tasks on deck, you ensure that your time is always productive and that no opportunity goes to waste.

Deadlines Have Power

One of the most powerful tools for driving action and accountability is the assignment of deadlines. Deadlines create a sense of urgency and momentum, motivating you to prioritize tasks and take action to meet your goals. It’s essential to assign deadlines strategically to ensure that tasks are completed efficiently and effectively.
Even low-priority and time-filler tasks benefit from having deadlines assigned to them. A task with no deadline may never be completed. While these tasks may not be as urgent or important as others, assigning deadlines ensures that they receive the attention they deserve and prevents them from being neglected or forgotten. Additionally, assigning deadlines to low-priority and time-filler tasks helps you manage your workload more effectively by spreading tasks out over time and preventing last-minute rushes. The deadlines on these tasks can be flexible but it’s important that they aren’t continuously “kicked down the road”.
When assigning deadlines, it’s important to be realistic and considerate of your workload and priorities. Avoid overloading yourself with unrealistic deadlines that create unnecessary stress and pressure. Instead, aim to schedule tasks to be completed the week before they are due, allowing for flexibility and buffer time to accommodate unexpected changes or delays.
Mastering productivity and prioritization is a journey of continuous improvement that requires dedication, discipline, and a willingness to adapt. By implementing the strategies outlined in this guide, you can streamline your workflow, conquer your to-do list, and reclaim control over your time. Remember, productivity is not about doing more but doing what truly matters. So, take charge of your time, prioritize wisely, and watch your productivity soar.

I was raised in IBLP as a girl after I was pulled out of third grade. My education degraded horribly the second that happened, and when I was thirteen I was shifted to a "character first" education which essentially meant my schooling was done. I am incredibly lucky I was taught to read in public school and have always loved reading, because if I didn't I couldn't have gotten out. I have always been deeply ashamed of my lack of formal education and after I left I tried to make it up by reading as much as I can and learning as much as I can.
I have a kid now who's going into second grade, and of course we are sending him to school. We work really hard with him at home, and I tell him that he is amazingly privileged for getting an education and that not everyone gets one and he needs to take advantage of this opportunity. One of the biggest things I always emphasized was reading. As long as you love to read, you can make up shortcomings in other areas later and the younger grades are where attitude towards reading is developed. We work on it at home a ton. I show him kid books I liked before the cult and I am open about how much I read to set an example. I show him that I'm even stricter with myself about screentime than I am with his when he complains that the other kids don't have to deal with being bored or have limits and explain to him that it's bad that they don't have limits and why I even have to set them for myself. He's been at the top of his grade in the school in reading, and grade level in everything else and I am honestly incredibly proud of him.
I work at amazon, and there are a lot of fresh highschool grads there. Lately, I have been astonished after I have started to be more open with my coworkers about my past, and they are jealous of my lack of education! They wish that they just graded their own tests with the answers like I did while my mom worked one on one with my brother! They just also don't like the religious abuse that came with that. What the hell? I remember crying at night because I knew my textbooks were years behind me because I have uses the same math book for 3 years, and the same "science" book for 5. Yet without any adult involvement I still tried. I graded myself accurately and tried to use stuff like my classic books, bird field guides, and dictionary to learn supplementary things. I failed myself on tests that I took after only being handed a workbook and tried again. And a lot of those jealous people have kids!
I was confused, and didn't know what a school environment was really like so I started looking things up about why all this this seems off. And then I found this reddit and found out it wasn't just the kids at my work or my kid's school. I don't understand. All these kids are intentionally throwing away things I'd have given my right arm for as a kid. Free access to books, learning, adults who will teach them and answer a question about the material if you have one, and the ability to look things up. I don't understand, and it's just upsetting to find out the sheer scale of people throwing away what they could have had, and that the adults in their lives, admin and parents, are contributing so much. As an adult, my wife has helped teach me so much math and I am so greatful that she is so nonjudgmental towards me for it because I have always been so ashamed I didn't teach myself math better and felt like it was my own fault I wasn't past 4th grade math. She helped me really see it was the adults that failed me, and I'm horrified the parents are failing their kids now too.

So I’ve had the worst pride month so far and just need to vent, buckle in cause this is an EXTREMLY long one.
Some backstory I (17f soon to be 18) have known I was into women since as young as 13, I had unlimited access to the internet and knew about different sexualities so it was very easy for me, well for the longest while I went by pansexual. I had come out to my mom almost a year ago as her and I were always close, well she just didn’t care and almost pretended like I didn’t. This year however I realized that I was actually a lesbian and came out to her and 2 weeks before pride month, it didn’t go all to well and our relationship is a bit strained but it was fine until this past weekend.
Onto the worst pride month of my life:
Saturday June 1st:
Well comes June first, I worked at 6am and got home at 12, I had a rough day at work and was just ready to relax, well my mom and I step out the car and suddenly I am being cornered by my ex step-father (him and my mom broke up about 6 months ago at this point and he already moved out months ago). Apparently he found my socials which clearly state I’m a lesbian and felt it was his “duty” to tell my mom even though they aren’t together any more 😒. He proceeded to tell her had had screenshots and blah blah blah in case I tried to deny it but obviously I didn’t because my mom already knew.
WELL she threw me under the bust and pretended she didn’t know just to appease him, I was annoyed by this so I just went inside to my room and locked my door. Well about 10-15 minutes later she comes banging on my door and is fuming with me, apparently my ex step-father didn’t want my brothers (I have 4 brothers who are his kids) living with me and was threatening to take them and it was my fault. She blamed me for everything saying I ruined her life (yes HER life, not mine who has just been outed, HERS) she forced me to take down all gay stuff from my accounts and I ended up setting them to private them.
Well later my my ex-stepfather starts calling my phone, I don’t answer obviously so he sends my brother to come call me so we can talk (I later found out he outed me to my brothers as well and asked them if they knew I was a lesbian, not cool dude 😒). Well he surprised me by talking about how he raised me since I was 2, and didn’t care what identified as and loved me regardless (dude never apologized for what he said or did but I’ll give him a pass). Well he was about to say something else, when his mother started CRYING saying him leaving ruined her life, (Yes his mom still lives with us, that’s a whole story in itself) so he left. I had one more fight with my mom about everything and then that was the end of day 1, Yep just day 1, more shit happened on day 2 and 3.
Sunday June 2nd:
So it is now June second and obviously I was pretty upset considering the events on the previous day as not only was it pride month but my 18th was only a month away, I had work that day but called out because after the shit show the day prior I was NOT in any place mentally to go to work (about 80% of my co-workers are apart of the lgbtqia+ community and I knew seeing them all happy about pride month would make me upset). So instead I went out with a friend as we had already prior made plans to go thrifting that day before I had work and after the day I had the other day this was just what I needed. Well it was a fun and eventful day ending with us getting lost and (once again a story for another day). Well I get back home and ex-stepfather is in the kitchen? I say good evening out of respect and head to my room when DAMN I’m being cornered AGAIN, I thankfully got to relax a little before I was attacked but suddenly my mom comes to my room and is furious.
Apparently my ex-stepfathers sister had found out (who lives all the way in Jamaica by the way, and this went down in Canada) and was nagging my mom about it and blaming my ex-stepfather for me being a lesbian and my mom was not happy about it. (Yes she is still in contact with his family, and the reason she blames him is cause he cheated and treated my mom horribly so she thinks he made me hate men 😒).
My mom was mad he was getting blamed for me being a lesbian, and for me being hostile with him the day before and today (yes she still loves him, once again another story, I feel like at this rate I should create a post for these 😂). This starts an argument between us because I tell her he had no right to out me to my brothers or her, even if she already knew (I don’t know if anyone else knows) She once again talks about how she’s struggling with this and I accidentally sigh out loud (I mean common though if you’re struggling then what about me) well one thing leads to another and we end up fighting, she tries to say I can’t be a lesbian because I dated my ex boyfriend (even though he was the only guy I ever dated before realizing I was lesbian and we’ve had numerous conversations where I told her that she made me feel pressured to date him). Well the fight got super heated and I did say something I’m not proud of after she told me to go read a bible, this resulted in her telling my to call my dad to pick me up so I can stay with him for a while (this is legally allowed as he does have part custody of me and I turn 18 in July)
Eventually after slamming doors and me almost calling my father, we calm down and have a talk (I still live with her currently) the conversation didn’t really go anywhere and we did end up fighting again, this time over different religious views and me talking about how I felt pressured by her to date my ex. The conversation ended because we had to pick up my sister from work and we never picked it up again, it’s still feels like she wasn’t trying to understand me, but I was too exhausted to put any more effort in.
Monday June 3rd:
Never fear this is the last day of the saga and it thankfully was happy, in the end.
Well, it’s Monday and I have to go back to school and it’s also my Bio fathers birthday (which I totally forgot about due to the prior days events and felt extremely bad), I thought I was ok but after a couple pride month announcements, I ended up leaving class and had a breakdown in the hallway (I’m ok now, all the weekends events just finally caught up to me that day). Well, I was found by some teachers and was brought to guidance to talk to somebody after I went back to class and and talked to my teacher about everything who offered me her support (she is an absolute sweetheart, and I love her so much🩷).
Well, I made the executive decision to just tell my father because considering the fact that people in Jamaica were finding out he was going to find out at some point and I wanted him to find out from me (I did intend on telling him, just after my 18th in July incase things went south with my mom, which they almost did).
I sent him a text and turned off my phone for the day, thankfully his response was much more loving than my mothers and he told me he loved me regardless, he picked me up from my moms and we ended up spending the day together and later on we picked up my sister and watched a movie together. I didn’t speak much to my mom this day, aside from telling her I was going out with him.
Well this is it so far, it’s been 6 days but I still can’t get over everything so I just wanted to vent. As of right now my relationship with my mom is improving but still strained and I don’t think it will ever go back to how it was before. Especially considering the fact that my father was very accepting of me, and even my ex-stepfather was more accepting of me than her despite the way he initially reacted.
Well, this is it if you somehow read this entire thing and thank WOW and thank you. If anyone wants clarification, feel free to ask and I’ll edit them onto the post. Also if anyone is curious, I am more than willing to talk about some of the other stories of my family (Trust me it gets CRAZY)

Today (June 9th) citizens of 🇧🇪 Belgium go to polls to vote in parliamentary elections, which are actually separate federal and regional ones. We will cover only the first one here (as these megathreads generally ignore subnational elections), even if the latter (deciding parliaments of Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels and German-speaking community) might be more important to many Belgians. Voting is also combined with 🇪🇺 European Parliament elections, same as in previous elections.
Belgian federal parliament is bicameral, and made of upper Senate (not elected directly), and lower Chamber of Representatives (Kamer van Volksvertegenwoordigers; Chambre des représentants; Abgeordnetenkammer), covered here, which consists of 150 deputies (76 needed for majority), who are elected for a five-year term, in eleven multi-member constituencies, allocated using D'Hondt method (who was Belgian btw). Read more here. Electoral threshold is 5% (per constituency).
Turnout in last (2019) elections was 88.4%. Take in mind, that voting in Belgium is compulsory, and ignoring them might end in a fine, or even (if ongoing recidive) loss of voting rights.
Relevant parties and alliances taking part in the elections are:

Name	Leader	Position	Affiliation	2019 result	Projection	Exit poll	Official (change)
Flemish Interest (VB)	Tom Van Grieken	far-right (Flemish nationalist, separatist)	I&D	11.9%	26	TBA	(18)
New Flemish Alliance (N-VA)	Bart De Wever	right (Flemish nationalist, conservative)	ECR	16.0%	19-20	TBA	(25)
Workers' Party of Belgium (PVDA/PTB)	Raoul Hedebouw	left-wing (socialist, all-Belgian)	Left-GUE/NGL	8.6%	19-20	TBA	(12)
Reformist Movement (MR)	Georges-Louis Bouchez	centre-right (liberal, Francophone)	Renew	7.6%	18	TBA	(14)
Socialist Party (PS)	Paul Magnette	wide left (social democracy, Francophone)	S&D	9.5%	16-18	TBA	(20)
Onward (Vooruit)	Melissa Depraetere	centre-left (social democracy, Flemish)	S&D	6.7%	11-12	TBA	(9)
Committed Ones (LE)	Maxime Prévot	centre (social liberal, Francophone)	EPP	3.7	10-12	TBA	(5)
Christian Democratic & Flemish (cd&v)	Sammy Mahdi	centre (Belgian unionist)	EPP	8.9%	10	TBA	(12)
Open Flemish Liberals & Democrats (Open Vld)	Tom Ongena	centre-right (liberal)	Renew	8.5%	7	TBA	(12)
Green (Groen)	Nadia Naji & Jeremie Vaneeckhout	centre-left (green, progressive, Flemish)	Greens/EFA	6.1%	5	TBA	(8)
Ecolo	Rajae Maouane	centre-left (green)	Greens/EFA	6.1%	4	TBA	(13)
Independent Federalist Democrats (DéFI)	François De Smet	centre (Francophone interests, liberal)	none	2.2%	1	TBA	(2)

Take a note that percentage polling isn't listed above, and all numbers (except 2019 result) are seats, because polls are generally counted separately for Flemish and Francophone areas, and Brussels. You can check detailed pollings here.

Did the build yesterday, took quite a while to finish. I live in Ireland so I ordered everything from amazon Germany. I have been watching PC build videos for years now and I think that did help me out. Couple of things that I noticed and want to share: - Try to get opinions from other people, my build is completely different from how it started. I got most of my help from reddit and Ltt forums. - Always consider shipping price, for me Amazon added it at the end during checkout and that was a surprise. - It's better to bios update before building (flashback if your board allows) especially for AM5 builds cause I have seen a lot of people running into issues on multiple subs. - You will never find a component where people haven't run into issues. Buy components that fits your budget, research and pray that nothing goes wrong. - Read the motherboard manual. Don't just follow random YouTube build guides. Use those guides as supplementary help but read the manual. - PSU cables are really tight, I saw YouTubers yanking them out easily all the time but in reality you need to go slow and wiggle it out carefully. - GPU sag is real, use anything at all to help your GPU. I used a piece of wood. It ain't pretty but it does the job. - Try to test boot your system before putting it in the case. Saves you a lot of time. - New cases have tight screws, I spent a lot of time figuring out if the screws were right but they will be.
I would also like your suggestions on my build, here's the parts: Mobo: Asrock B650M-HDV/M.2 CPU: Ryzen 5 7600 RAM: 2x16GB Corsair Vengeance CL36 GPU: XFX Speedster Qick319 RX7800XT Case: Fractal Focus 2 I plan on getting a thermalright peerless assassin 120, a wifi card, and another case fan later. Also I might tidy up the cable management a bit more, it's just that I was tired after 3 hours of this build. My Mobo has no RGB header so I went with non RGB components. Only downside is that I have a lot of RGB cables dangling from case fans and I might lose 10FPS because of no RGB but I can live with that.

I have tried many strategies to make money in the past but this is the first that has worked for me: the plr affiliate method. (This is a long read so I apologise in advance)
So first things first, what is PLR? I wasn’t sure either until January of this year when I stumbled across a video on YouTube. This is Private Label Rights, this means that essentially you buy the rights to sell something as your own and you keep all of the profits. This can be e-books and courses.
This essentially was a lightbulb switch moment for me. I could get a finished product and sell it as my own and keep all of the profits. I tried creating content myself and created a shopify website and put my finished product ebook in my bio (YouTube any video on how to list a digital product on shopify). I then put the shopify link in my bio, this was not a success and I realised that I would have to think outside the box to make this work.
I had another moment of inspiration, what if I was able to ask social media accounts with an established following to put the link in their bio and I would offer them a percentage of every sale they make (I offered a 50/50 cut). So for the next few days I grinded and sent direct messages and emails to Instagram and tiktok accounts, I mainly targeted accounts with large followings that did not have any links currently in their bio and I have had the greatest success with these accounts. I was able to create the affiliate programme on shopify using a plug called uppromote, there are many videos that explain how to set this up on YouTube.
So why would accounts with large following agree to my proposal despite them supplying all of the following?
The answer is simple, a lot of people have a great ability to create content, but perhaps do not have the business acumen or have the motivation to create a revenue stream themselves. This method provides them a easy solution to this problem.
After a lot of grinding and a lot of messages I had gained clients and five months later I’m at the point where I have 31 affiliates selling my e books and courses in their bio. The total following of these accounts is 8.4 million followers across all platforms - a following I would not have been able to attain myself with my content creation skills.
The numbers, what everyone is here for! This method has generated me $11,000 in profit since January (50% of sales went to affiliates so $22,000 revenue). Things started out slow but are picking up fast, last month has been particularly good, generating me $3,000 in profit from easy and passive income.
Problems and issues I’ve encountered: understandingly so the accounts often want to see the product they are selling before they agree to be an affiliate for the product. I originally had a problem finding high quality products, I am not going to name the website I would recommend for those looking high quality plr on here as I received downvotes last time (I am not going to name it here as I was called a shill the other time I did this haha) but you can send a message to me and I can give you advice on where to look. This website offers a bundle which provides a wide array of high quality finished products that are from all sorts of niches. I have found other plr products that I have purchased to be of bad quality so it is important to find a good website.
I’m sure you are wondering the following question: if you are making money off of this why are you sharing with us? The answer is simple, there are hundreds of thousands of social media accounts with large followings, this method is unsaturated and I figured it could help make someone else’s life a little easier financially.
Why do I recommend this method? 1.) Once established this method is completely passive 2.) You gain exposure to large followings that would take years to build. 3.) relatively low set up costs. The bundle I recommend purchasing is $199 and shopify monthly payments are roughly $50 per month. There are no other costs incurred. 4.) unlimited earnings potential. There’s no ceiling as to what you can earn. The more accounts that agree to become an affiliate for you the more you will make

There’s no doubt about it. Things are difficult for our generation. We no longer live in a generation where you can buy a house for a pack of peanuts.

The answer is simple, there are hundreds of thousands of social media accounts with large followings, this method is unsaturated and I figured it could help make someone else’s life a little easier financially.
Why do I recommend this method? 1.) Once established this method is completely passive 2.) You gain exposure to large followings that would take years to build. 3.) relatively low set up costs. The bundle I recommend purchasing is $199 and shopify monthly payments are roughly $50 per month. There are no other costs incurred. 4.) unlimited earnings potential. There’s no ceiling as to what you can earn. The more accounts that agree to become an affiliate for you the more you will make

I’ve had issues with masturbating for a long time now, I’m almost 25(M) and been doing it for as long as I could remember. I try to go through streaks of 7-10 days of trying to stop but I would relapse and would get insanely demotivated knowing I have to start over. I consider myself to be a healthy person, I weightlift 5 times a week, don’t really eat shitty food, get a dose of L-citrulline from my pre-workout, and taking supplements like tongkat Ali, magnesium, and Vitamin D, but still have problems getting erections and keeping it hard.
I first realized I had an issue when I invited a girl over, got hard and ejaculated within seconds of being inside her. Finishing fast has always been an issue with me but usually I would be able to get it back up for round 2 almost instantly, but I was insanely flaccid and nothing she did could get it to go back up. I thought it was a one off situation but it happened again a few more times with different women. I don’t think I have ED or PIED, but based on symptoms and effects I’ve been reading in this community, it definitely feels like it’s the start of it, and would like to fix it before it’s too late.
i know the easy answer is to stop PMO, but is abstaining gonna guarantee success? If so, how long till I see positive results? Is there anything else I should do one top of that to help me?

Case 25 – Preaching from the Third Seat
二十五 三座說法 仰山和尚。夢見往彌勒所安第三座。有一尊者。白槌雲。今日當第三座說法。山乃起白槌雲。摩訶衍法離四句絕百非。諦聽諦聽。 【無門曰】 且道是說法不說法。開口即失。閉口又喪。不開不閉十萬八千。 【頌曰】 白日青天 夢中說夢 捏怪捏怪 誑謼一眾 Section 25: Preaching from the Third Seat

Monk Yangshan had a dream in which he went to the place where Maitreya was seated in the third seat1. A venerable monk struck the gavel and said, "Today, the teaching will be given from the third seat." Yangshan then rose and struck the gavel, saying, "The Mahayana Dharma2 is beyond the four propositions and transcends the hundred negations. Listen carefully, listen carefully."

Wumen's Comment

Tell me, was this preaching [to the assembly or not] or not? If you open your mouth, you lose it. If you close your mouth, you miss it. Not opening or closing, you are 108,00miles away3.

Verse

In broad daylight, under the blue sky, Dreaming within a dream. Creating delusion, creating delusion, Deceiving the assembly.

.
³ 108,000 is a famous number in Chinese culture, appearing in Journey to the West written hundreds of years later and explained by this: “The distance that [the Monkey King’s] cloud-somersault can travel, 108,000 li (33,554 mi / 54,000 km), is based on a metaphor for instantaneous enlightenment. It comes from the Platform Sutra of the Sixth Zen Patriarch Huineng (惠能). The Zen Master explains that the common trope of the Buddha’s paradise being separated from the world of man by 108,000 li is based on a combination of the “Ten Evils” (Shi’e, 十惡) and “Eight Wrongs” (Baxie, 八邪) of Buddhism. Those who rid themselves of these spiritual flaws will achieve enlightenment and thus arrive instantly at the Buddha’s paradise.” (Huineng, 2022) Red Pine points out, “After this line in our text, the Tsungpao edition [of the Platform Sutra] adds: “As it says in the shastras, it is 108,000 li away. This refers to the Ten Evil Deeds and the Eight Wrong Ways within the body. This is why it’s said to be far.” The reason for this number was because the presumed distance from the T’ang-dynasty capital of Ch’ang-an to Shakyamuni’s hometown of Kapilavastu was said to be 108,000 li (two li = one kilometer, three li = one mile).

After some debate I signed up so as not to be accused of going it alone:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ewkrzen

What did we end up talking about?

I think we beat the Case to death. Even the 108,000.
Astroemi admitted he wasn't going to read the 100 negations.
This Case is closely linked to Xinagyan's Person up a Tree, where you fail for not answering and die if you do... particularly because Yangshan preaches the dharma by saying "not that stuff", but is that an answer?

You can be on the podcast! Use a pseudonym! Nobody cares!
Add a comment if there is a post you want somebody to get interviewed about, or you agree to be interviewed. We are now using libsyn, so you don't even have to show your face. You just get a link to an audio call.
I was thinking about the fact that it seems pretty reasonable to call somebody up and talk on the phone about something you talk about on reddit everyday... but some people are nervous about this. Why? It's a phone call. Is it the public nature of the phone call? In a coffee shop it's public too... but it's not scrutinized.
Being wrong... is that the big worry? We all have trouble saying Chinese words, remembering Chinese names, and explaining Zen concepts that the Chinese themselves were uncomfortable with. What's the standard for public conversations when it comes to knowledge? Does that standard mean less people want to talk publicly?

Gm Prom Community!
It’s Savage a.k.a. CakeKeepers, your fellow Prom community degen and current top competitor on the Prom Zealy leaderboard with 230K+ points!
I've been actively involved in the Prom ecosystem for a long time, engaging in testnet missions, and staying involved in our amazing community.
Today, I’m here to share some tips and tricks on how you can excel in Prom Zealy and become an integral part of the Prom ecosystem.
Let’s dive in!
First things first, Understanding Prom Zealy and Its Importance:
Prom Zealy is our interactive questboard where you can participate in various tasks, earn points, and climb the leaderboard. It’s a fun and rewarding way to engage with Prom and make a real impact.
The Value of Prom’s Zealy Tasks?
The campaign has been successful because many frens are completing these social-based tasks and spreading the word about Prom.
Here’s what you should do:

• Earn Enough Points! After the campaign, aim to become a member of the validators or delegators, and be a part of our growing, engaging community. Consistency is key here.
  
• Be Active! Contribute, produce content, gain visibility and credibility within the community, and make your social presence more active. Let everyone know about you and your value.
  
• Help the Ecosystem! Assist new frens in the community by actively participating in quests and missions. Become a community leader!
  

Create a Solid Profile on Your Socials:

• Set your profile up. Use a clear profile picture and write a short but detailed bio to stand out and be recognized for your efforts. If you’re known in the community, maintain your profile identity and awareness.
  
• Always stay updated! Regularly check community channels, Twitter announcements, and all updates. Stay ahead of the curve and digest everything from your community.
  
• Explore quests daily! Get familiar with different types of quests available,social tasks, testnet missions, image creation, article topics, etc. These are the tasks that might make you learn new stuff about any new partners or tech base.
  
• Choose your strength wisely! If you can’t do everything, pick topics you like and have digested, and choose quests that align with your strengths. If you're good at social media, focus on those tasks. Love tech? Dive into the testnet missions. Are you great at narratives? Jump into deep dive creations.
  
• Use multiple channels! Never use just one channel to spread your content. Be active as much as you can on all social media. One is never enough.
  

Get Prepared Before You Start:

• Keep yourself updated daily with the latest news, community chats, and conversations. If there are any new tasks, campaigns, happenings or events, always read the conversations first and jump into the quest details carefully. Understand what’s required before you begin to avoid retracing points you lost.
  
• Use documentation tools to become better. Utilize your phone’s note app, or your favorite document creation tools like Notion or Google Docs for automation and note-taking. Keep all resources in your stash; you might need them later. Never create or try to produce something that you might already have in your case.
  

Execute Like a Pro:

• Break it down first! Tackle tasks in smaller steps. For example, if you need to create a social media post, plan your content, create visuals, and schedule your posts. Use automation tools if you’re not available to post manually. Make your twitter posts your drafts for you while you have other tasks in your daily life. Never miss a shot.
  
• Avoid rushing. Double-check your work to avoid mistakes or missing out on rewards. Always be prepared and have a plan.
  
• Provide clear evidence On Zealy for your completed tasks. Use crystal clear screenshots, links, detailed descriptions if required. Remember, while you might submit 8-9 contents, Prom Admins review thousands of tasks, so make your content and sources crystal clear.
  
• If you don’t get feedback or rewards, politely follow up. Sometimes a little nudge helps in getting your work reviewed. Take feedback, evaluate it, and improve your work.
  

Excelling in Testnet Missions:
What is the Importance of Testnet?
Testnet missions are crucial for testing new features and providing feedback to prevent major errors or bugs on the mainnet. Nobody wants to see any problems on any network’s mainnet. So be sure that you are indeed active on this side.

• Ensure you have the necessary wallet application, correct RPC, and testnet tokens. Get your daily faucet tokens regularly.
  
• Engage with all testnet features, try to find bugs, and provide constructive feedback. Avoid vague reports like “ADMIN I CAN’T GET MY TXN DONE, HAAAAALP!” This is not cool or beneficial for anyone.
  
• Document everything! Keep a detailed record of what you did and any issues you encountered. Provide screenshots, transaction hashes, wallet addresses, and clearly explained steps about what you tried to do, and what you got with it!
  

Share your knowledge with others!
Write tutorials or guides from your experiences. Include clear instructions and screenshots. Mentor newcomers and answer their questions. Respect each other and be nice to all. There is no stupid questions.
Leveraging Community Resources:

• Join each of the official channels, be active on Prom’s Discord, Telegram, Medium, and Twitter. These platforms are invaluable for updates, support, and community interaction.
  
• Participate in discussions, ask questions, and share your experience. The more you engage, the more you learn and grow, and help others do the same.
  
• Always listen and share! Experienced members might share valuable tips. Listen to them and apply their advice -Not the financial ones-. Share your experiences to help others and strengthen the community.
  

Maximizing Rewards and Building Reputation:

• Understand the system and the campaigns, know how the points and rewards system works and what are the validators and delegators in Prom ecosystem. Aim for high-reward quests and bonus opportunities. Dedicate yourself to each task and try to complete them daily.
  
• Build a reputation for yourself! Consistently complete tasks, provide valuable feedback, and help others. This builds your reputation and earns you respect.
  
• Adapt and grow all together! If you face challenges like not having enough friends for Discord invites, focus on growing your socials and completing other tasks efficiently or focus on article and guide creations which fits on many tasks on Prom Zealy.
  
• Always participate actively! Mentor others and share your knowledge. Leadership roles often come with additional perks and recognition.
  

So, the conclusion:
Becoming a top competitor on Prom Zealy and a leading community member involves active participation, being dedicated and consistent, strategic quest completion, and continuous learning and sharing. Not only completing some simple tasks daily.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Every contribution helps build a better Prom ecosystem!
That’s it from me, Savage. Keep pushing folks, stay engaged, and let’s continue to make the Prom community stronger together!
