Either I get up and immediately get after it and feel great, or I don’t.
People drastically underestimate how much one single hour per day on 1-2 needle-moving tasks can compound. It doesn't feel like much each day, and it can be demotivating, but sometimes an hour is all you have, and 365+ hours can build something incredible.

Less “OMG THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING” in my feed please. I come to X for nutritious (over delicious) content. To me, the most useful posts ARE the most beautiful posts. I want to leave smarter and more excited than I came. Is that too much to ask?

I got a Rogue Echo two years ago. It’s kept me sane in north east winters. One of the best decisions I’ve made lately.
Get an assault bike Do intervals 2-3 times a week, gas yourself out Will keep you young Also a decent hypertrophy stimulus for thigh muscles (and zero impact)

Do the best with what you have where you are right now.
To feel more at peace and more successful, you don’t need genius-level brain power, access to some secret society, or to hit a moving target of “just” an additional X dollars. Those are all distractions. Based on everything I’ve seen, a simple recipe can work: focus on what’s

Really great documentary @jasonjoyride. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and left amped. But also feeling like I’m not doing enough.

I love quality outputs, but the extended reasoning models mess with my focus. Maybe X and YT have fried my attention span, but I prefer more, smaller, instant responses that keep me locked in over essays I have to wait 30-60s for. My eyes start wandering to fill the time.

Ayn Rand was a fork in the road for me.
@WorldAndScience Atlas Shrugged, by far. It taught me agency, and to view seeming contradictions as opportunities to discover deeper truths, which in turn taught me to write and think clearly.

Facts are now free. Formal education just teaches you the “right” way to interpret them.

Friends reciprocate joy.
If 1 unit of your friend's joy gives you 1.5 units of joy & 1 joy to you gives your friend 1.5, then you two can get into a joyous hysteria.
