I would treat this practice similarly to drinking caffeine to get a boost at work. It works, but it’s subject to diminishing returns.

I have done this (and continue to do it) both in sustainable ways and unsustainable. Too much of ignoring your emotions will reduce your ability to overcome them (essentially the old…

Yeah... we call it “Walking-around money” because... well, because we have the humor of teenagers.

We also have standard dates that we can go on when we’re too tired or stressed to plan something bigger. That way if we’re suffering from decision fatigue we don’t compound it by trying to figure out where to go on a date.

The trick is to know when to stop writing the crap.

One one of my novels I just kept writing, even after I hit some problems. I ended up throwing out 2/3rds of the book and having to rewrite it to fix the problems.

The value of graduate school is in networking and credibility. You don't need straight As in most programs to get the most value out of the degree. Rather, spend time connecting with people who will be able to help you in your career later on.

I just did (most of) this.

The video is incredibly helpful. I didn't know where to get the carburetor needle, rubber seat and gasket though, so I skipped replacing those. The rest I was able to find at the auto parts store.

I also sharpened the blade rather than replacing it. Things are running really well now. I'm…

I'm trying to decide if I love this or am horrified by it.

One "glitch" is that when you use the Lifehacker recommend app "The Great Suspender" you'll get a chunk of your visited sites showing the suspend code (which is a long string of seemingly random letters).

Overall it's cool to see how I've been using my time on…

There it is.

I really like CamScanner. I've used it to scan applications, legal documents for a nonprofit, and everything else. It makes a nice PDF, automatically adjusts the quality, and spits out the results with very little effort or fuss.

Each and Every

For a host of reasons dancing is one of my biggest fears and greatest struggles. I've taken a number of dance courses and tried several times (both with and without the liquid courage) to do something approximating dancing.

While Captain Hip-Hop makes putting on pants and the Karate Kid look cook, I'm pretty sure…

I would add to this that we need to work on learning how to best defuse the anger in our partner.

I am a short-fuse, fast-burn anger person. It doesn't take a lot to set me off, but once things have been resolved I can usually move on pretty quickly. My wife is a long-fuse, slow-burn anger person. So even once we have…

Nicely done. I would have categorized some things differently, but can't complain with the choices made.

My only wish is that this was an interactive website where I could click on the supergenre and see all the subgenres highlighted.

Go forth and do my bidding, coders of the Land!

Ah! Thank you. This is what I needed. The redesign is dumb, but they have all the data I want.

This is a good idea.

My use-case had drifted pretty far away from having an audible ringtone though. As my phone has become more and more an essential tool, it's also always on me. So using vibrate is my default mode of operation and only rarely do I ever turn on a ringer.

I'm curious why other people don't do this…

For me the the main issue with Helpouts was that I scheduled time out of my day to be available to help people and they didn't show up for the appointments. I had dozens of scheduled appointments and only had a handful of people actually show up for the appointment.

I know I wasn't the only one (I found out from the…

I would place the importance of deciding at or above the observation and orientation. Particularly deciding in advance what you will do given a certain situation.

The more we communicate in contextual ways (i.e. with video and audio), the less we will need to deal with trolls. A troll thrives in the anonymity of the internet and cannot long survive outside that protective bubble.

As to whether we will stop or slow down with the text communication as technology makes it cheaper…
