Do you buy *new* physical media?

Every year or so, someone asks: who here is buying CDs? The replies tend to mention the bargain bin at the record store.

But my question is: how many of you all are still purchasing newly manufactured CDs, opera/ballet DVDs, vinyl LPs, etc.? Do you watch for new interpretations of your favorite works, and/or track stars on the rise via their physical releases? And if you do, where do you buy them?

ADHD and the bottomless workload

Like many CSMs, I don't have a finite number of discrete projects to finish. I have a book of clients who - even when they don't have an active help request, and/or are fully onboarded - will be due for an account health check, a courtesy email reminding them I exist, a scan for new opportunities. Complicating this: my (adult-diagnosed) ADHD. I medicate and keep healthy in some ways, but sleep hygiene is my Achilles' heel and the inherent relentlessness of the work wears at me.

Fellow CSMs with focus and memory issues, I assume we're all hyper-organized with a million reminders set. This is surely true for people with typical retention and ability to concentrate too. But what other personal and professional habits help you keep up and not feel overwhelmed all the time?

Hi all. The Jazz Kitchen offers three tiers of concert seating: main dining room, bar, and lounge. Option 1 is close to the stage, Option 3 is essentially a telecast in a completely different room. Has anyone had a good experience of seeing and hearing bands via option 2, which is "a padded barstool in view of the stage"? Thanks for any tips.
