I am similar age as you and I finished almost 25 books this year, and similar number for the past few years. It's had an amazing impact so far. Hopefully this can motivate you. What you need is a habit change, which begins with an iden

Any progress is great progress here. I am looking forward to a day when I can buy a robot that can do laundry end to end, from taking to the laundry machine, transferring to the dryer, to folding the clothes!

Apologies for posting a comment that doesn't add to the discussion. I was trying to show the absurdity of the quote in the article that someone recommended reading 500 pages a day.

It takes me three minutes to read one page. 500 pages per day will take only 25 hours a day. :)

Reading is important, and I have heard this advice many times, yet I never took it to say reading is the only thing that matters. The advice on reading 500 pages a day will not work for most people, indeed! Here is a good succinct and pract

I hear you. I am not criticizing Halloween, since I take part in doing all of these. I did mention costumes going to landfill though, not just pumpkins. What I mentioned doesn't have to be taken to extreme to say nothing should be prod

People buy a lot of stuff during Christmas, but they get used. EDIT: I think so.

I have mixed feelings about Halloween. On the one hand, it has a great social aspects to it: people get together for carving, there are parties, and kids have so much fun. But the environmental and health sides of it mindboggling. We are co

If you read the book "Thinking fast and slow" or perhaps "Predictably irrational", you will realize how irrational all of us are.

I agree. These laws are not set in stone. Times change, and so the regulations need to change. The government must do what is good for the people, and in this case, it may be letting Uber run (or may be not).

The article sounds one-sided in favor of Uber, but as a tourist who visited the place recently, it would have been much easier for me if Uber/Lyft operated. The public transit may be nice, but as a tourist, I didn't bother with th
