Ask HN: What's the biggest problem you have and how have you tried to solve it?
- themodelplumber 5y agoRevving the productivity engine too high. It results in a lot of unwanted outcomes related to stress buildup. How I've tried to solve it: - Therapy, coaching, becoming a coach, pursuing various certifications - Measurement of stress levels through various means (others and my own). Spreadsheeting, journaling, inventing own measurement devices - Supplements & nootropics - Developing my own modular productivity system - Diet, exercise & fitness All of those have been reasonably successful so far, and I've made a lot of progress, with a loooong way to go. I'd say my zone of current expertise is at about level m2_7 in my subjective measurement system [0] which was developed for assessing progress in areas like this. Current ideas and measures for the future: - I came up with a new way of measuring time that's more intuitive and less exact. It's based on personality theory. It's brand new though and needs more time. - Other chemicals (i.e. 2020's _Druk_ / _Another Round_ experiment; I recently left a very restrictive cult, so...Experiment idea A + New situation B = :-) ) - Developing new words/labels for the problem that don't involve the term 'stress' - Exploring new ways to stabilize a given situation, schedule, or process A long way to go but I really enjoy this work, particularly the subjective side of it. It does bring me a lot of joy to work on this problem, annoying as it is :-) 0. https://www.friendlyskies.net/intj/from-experience-to-mastery-a-framework https://www.friendlyskies.net/intj/from-experience-to-master...
