something to consider is that certain todo's require the right location or context, for example if I'm at the office and it occurs to me to pay the utility bill, that would go on a "home" todo list. Additionally, some to

off the top of my head i'd say its a few things: 1, don't use mental capacity for remembering things, do that in a trusted document that stores things you need to remember 2, always be (mentally) knolling, staying organized and re

I found the book "get things done" helpful. i don't follow the system closely but it's a good mental model. It's especially helpful to have a list of medium and long term goals with associated next steps for when th

I've always been disappointed by people's consistent refusal to voice opinions about my "career" decisions. I'm perfectly comfortable dismissing feedback and advice when I feel that is the best course of action. I w

Nice, thanks. Do you have a go to piece of work that lays out where Diamond goes wrong? I've only ever heard it in off hand comments from people in human geography. I've read a couple of the LBJ books which are really amazing and

I did eventually get through it. I found that thinking of the chapters as individual books (which in a lot of ways they are) was helpful to enjoy the reading and to get through it. Read one, take a break digest it. It's enjoyable. Ther

A book to read immediately after Guns Germs and Steel is Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu. It's also useful to know that Diamond does not have a degree in Geography and many geographers aren't particularly on board with his idea
