I can attest to this. I worked very hard for three weeks straight on non-zero habits. Every week I would add more stuff. There’s always so much to be and do! After the three weeks I was soexhausted and overwhelmed. Even the simplest habits dropped off. At this point I had a list of 18+ daily tasks, on top of…

It’s all about forgiving/thanking Past You and doing favors for Future You. I’m literally procrastinating on going to bed as I type this, but would never keep a close friend up to entertain me because I’m bored. If I picture Future Me as a friend who will have to pay for my behavior, it gives the exercise empathic…
Well, uh, here’s a picture of a cute dog!
The argument being made here isn’t about evidence. CGI is doing objective good. The problem hinges on “optics”, meaning, any hook the right can find to tether their attacks to is an unnecessary hindrance to Clinton’s run. This organization already has well established networks of aid, and so the thinking here goes,…
Damn, like that dawg?
“Gentlemen, you can’t battle here! This is a Pokémon gym!"
Because OP thinks the internet is about being annoying.
Hitler’s sculpture did nothing wrong.
Religion is like lobster... Why does everyone want me to eat lobster?!
I consider your commute or walk to work part of your routine. Me and my SO were just discussing outdoor time to destress. In Kelly McGonigal’s The Willpower Instinct my gf read that a quick lap around the block helps calm nerves and build motivation back up. I would love to be able to take a walk to work. Maybe I will…
For my day-capping routines, morning and before bed, I played around with different sequences in a mind-mapping app. I created nodes for each of the main activities (using the SAVERS routine as a guideline http://lifehacker.com/start-your-day…) and then switched them around according to what felt right. My morning now…
Your first two points are not in question. “Like-mindedness”, though, I think has a lot to do with social strata, subcultural affiliation, music preference, schedule, etc. My favorite bar is full of rock and rollers, in the same age range as me, the jukebox is exclusively indie rock, punk and local bands and it is…
For sure. One of my jobs involves a lot of tedious, easy labor. Those are the times my mind starts bubbling up all kinds of crazy stuff. Listening to podcasts at the same time also helps me spark up the old noodle.
Back when I would drink myself into unceremonious stupors, the next morning would always include a heaping helping of Tallest Man on Earth and Jose Gonzalez. A lot of The Late Night Tales compilations have gotten me through as well... Anyways, cheers LH! 🍻
I was cheering the whole time I read this! Take that Googly!
I occasionally consider “modeling” the behaviors of people I admire. I’m sure other people have heard of it. I think I got the idea from when I was researching NLP, before I realized it was pseudoscience bunk. Anyways, this method acting idea sounds like a good technique to act on that strategy. The main…
Literally just posted that to HN too haha
I spent $15 on a white Moleskin pen a few months ago. It was an awesome pen, but a week ago I was sitting there writing in my journal when all of a sudden the pen fell apart on me. The little plastic bits holding it together inside had just snapped off. Buyer beware.
