here's a list that i've compiled over the years.
Daily Habits:
get rid of idle internet time
morning self reflection: what structual and systemic things can be improved today (improve one of the systems)
mental excercise: pick a subject, try to come up with 40 ideas.
go over goals
learn 1 thing before work (could be done in 15 min of reading)
throught the day, stop and classify thoughts as "useful" , "not useful"
do the hardest thing first.. before breakfast..
step out of the comfort zone at least once. (challenge promotes growth)
work on verbal communication (5-15 min practice)
get at least one thing done and off the TODO list
1 HR of quality reading
while being at work, WORK (be results oriented)
spend some time to clear mind clutter and BE IN THE PRESENT
short term sacrifices for long term rewards (expenses, nutrition, excercise)
plan out next day in advance (next week, month)
before taking any action (or not taking action) project forward (30 seconds, 5 minutes, day, year, 30 years) would you be better off with different choice.
recharge emotional energy
- Domenic_S 14y agoMany of these are excellent. Very in line with proven-to-work CBT strategies.
- hnriot 14y agoIt's exhausting just reading this. Obviously since you're here wasting time typing out long comments you don't take your own advice.
- SonicSoul 14y agocopy / paste my man! big time saver. unfortunately i can't do anything about having wasted your time. sorry
- hnriot 14y agoI don'r profess to performing a litany of self help routines. If you take the time to read a stupid blog post about the usual pathways to happiness, then take the time to comment on hn, even if you are copy/pasting from some reservoir you keep of stock comments, you're still wasting time on the internet as you just professed not to. I'm sorry if it offends, but the hypocrisy is almost as distasteful as the blog post we're all commenting on.
- javert 14y agoHN can actually be a really great resource for learning, inspiration, comraderie, etc. And that includes actually contributing to the discussion, as SonicSoul was.
- SonicSoul 14y agoso, initially you complained about my comment being too long, and too "exhausting" to read. now you're complaining that i should have added more comments.. troll much? and i don't consider HN as wasting time.
- RivieraKid 14y agoHow do you work on verbal communicaton?
- SonicSoul 14y agoEnglish is my 2nd language so a lot of it is American English pronunciation exercises. I imagine native speakers would do something similar in the form of tongue twisters (the kind of thing anchors do to warm up). Or if you got that down, practice the Australian accent. Can never go wrong at parties :)
