Please go lift weights right now. RIGHT NOW.
the greatest regret i have is underestimating the value of long term compounding. capital, friendships, projects, places, all get better with decades. its impossible to understand until you see it. it is entirely what life is about. a few very good things for a long time

This is it for me. Intentions don't sustain themselves for long. The feeling of "Yes! This is a thing I'm going to do" is intense but doesn't last long enough to drive the doing. I can write down the intended goal but that doesn't capture the feeling of having a real intention.
the biggest bind w adhd/adhd-like symptoms is not so much that the environment and/or society forces you to focus on things you're not that interested in it's that, at a basal level, ur intention is fickle & u often even forget what you find most important or deeply interesting

I’ve gotten am embarrassing amount of leverage out of “I’m afraid. I guess I’ll just do it while afraid” and “this is going to take a long time, but the time is going to pass anyway”

How do you know if you've had a productive day? I just look down. I work in short, intentional, high-focus blocks and count them as I go. Yesterday was an 11-blocker—I got a lot done. I got this way of working from @daviddcain (thx): https://t.co/CU0kd4Sgau

It’s literally just empathy. And if we deem you insufficiently empathetic, we will not hesitate to try to destroy you, and we aren’t particularly interested to understand your side of the story.

The first thing every human learns about politics is that there are things you can say that will make people hate you, and things you can say that will make people approve of you. https://t.co/9k6Ylr0CuC

I think part of my supposed ADHD is that I never had focused work modeled for me, only yelled about.

New randomized, controlled trial of students using GPT-4 as a tutor in Nigeria. 6 weeks of after-school AI tutoring = 2 years of typical learning gains, outperforming 80% of other educational interventions. And it helped all students, especially girls who were initially behind
