The best way to improve is not to focus on results. It’s to focus on habits. 27 studies: Behavior change goals are 3x more effective than outcome goals in boosting performance. Growth depends on altering the actions we can control. A key to progress is concentrating on process.

Today's "healthcare" has been built on the backbone of poorly reviewed studies financed by Big Pharma that ignore the importance of correlation when it comes to negative side effects, but plants it's flag when a desired result is found. This is not science.

I've decided to come back to Twitter, eh X. And I'm here for all things statistics, data science, and fitness. Looking for respectful conversations that prioritize critical thinking and the OG Scientific Method. Hey look, I took a selfie with myself!

My 10-year-old just referred to what most people would call "forecasting" as "future guessing" and I'm going to start calling it that now.
