That was my thinking when I went through the first page of results. I pretty much read all the books listed except two and it didn’t dawn on me until I started reading more non-fiction books from Asian authors – From Third World to First by

As someone that likes the spirit behind Habitica and has tried it a few times – also contributed some bugfixes I desperately needed – I’m curious what you found a bit too much, since I felt the same way. I’ve toyed in my head with the idea

I’ve realized lately that I do most of my procrastination either in Firefox or on my phone since those are the places I’ve naturally bucketed my consumption/lizard-brain-behaviour to. So when I need to focus I’ll just start a Freedom (

For a smaller business I’ve found nearly all co-working spaces have mailbox services that can scan or forward incoming mail.

Definitely. Depending on how serious one's issues are, volunteering could be a shortcut remedy for loneliness and the need for therapy could be reduced. But if doesn’t work then therapy could help with underlying issues (my therapist s

The book Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport has a concept called Digital Declutter that’s a similar concept but towards distracting tech.

Maybe I’m extreme in my view. But I look at most companies that produce games skewed towards IAP/DLC/P2W as ethically corrupt. They’re just wasting the talent of game creators to produce these games to pad the revenue of these bus

I haven’t been really addicted to gaming since university. But now I largely look for ways to add gaming systems to my everyday life, such as travel hacking (optimize the points, miles and credits I earn for air and train travel) or adding

I believe it’s the urban planning involved in accommodating the physical traffic of vehicles the GP is getting at, not the emissions. Electric vehicles do nothing to address roads occupying more space than sidewalks, for example.

Probably the best way is to look for the tentpoles that get the most attention – Digital Minimalism/Cal Newport, Center for Humane Technology/Tristan Harris – and follow the discussions around them to see if any other communities

Hey, repo owner here. That does seem to be the case here. I had re-hosted these .plan files from a website – which has removed them – that had re-hosted them from Shacknews – which had also removed them. GitHub seemed like a quirk-and-dirty

When the GP mentioned Elysium I was also reminded of the live-action Ghost in the Shell movie with the AR ads similar to this video.

I actually forgot YouTube had ads until someone showed me a video on their laptop this past weekend. Was painful to watch them try to dismiss it.

I was trying out a Korean facial cleanser with tea tree oil that I stopped using because it was too drying. But I found it was very effective at cleaning grime from my sneakers and as a spot treatment for white shirt stains.

And if OP does end up leaving the job, please don’t feel guilty about taking time off when you see others around you working harder but worse off than you. Unless you were actually managing them you are not responsible for their happiness

I found out this year, at 32, that I have a mostly-anxious/sometimes-avoidant insecure attachment style. Some of the bumps I’ve experienced in life probably would have gone smoother if this was made apparent to me years ago and I had t

I sometimes wonder if the branding effort I’ve seen over the past few years is even overlaid company goals. A lot of it seems to be designers signaling to other designers. Like Dribbble has expanded across the web and product landing page

You can’t get away with making a basic alternative when you have players like Uber, Lyft, Grab, etc. that have refined the entire experience. The alternatives I’ve tried in Canada succumb to failing miserably to even get the app experienc

Glad to see more treading into using games to reinforce beneficial behaviours. If only the resources we were pumping into making lootbox games could start being diverted into projects like this.

To piggy-back on the personal trainer analogies earlier, alternatives like CBT tools, podcasts, books, etc. are good augmentations once you’ve learned “good form” on how to work with your depression through a therapist. The alternatives are

They’re starting to acquire more titles now though, so a good chunk of Epic titles will have some quality to them than the ones they were producing themselves since the UT days.

The two books mentioned already are good source material. If you want a modern – some would argue watered-down – take then A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy by William B. Irvine is good reading.
