I would say exercise. A jog or a swim. Exercise has boosted my productivity a lot. Enabled me to work longer hours. Helps me be in a better mood and just feel healthy which spills over to my work.

Awesome thanks for the link! Love how it applies to mathematics. "learn by doing" that is so true not just for mathematics but for almost every field. And that is why I find Udacity's model of projects and getting feedback o

Exactly "personalised" being a key word. Any other areas of interests for which you would like to have such projects? (Design, Language learning? ) . Thanks for the reply :)

I would say 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I will go as far as to say that if I had to read one book throughout my life this would be it. Love it.

In my opinion its more about being comfortable in your own skin. It is ok to have insecurities. Everyone does. I am sure there are a tonne of women out there that would love you for who you are. "Especially with other Men" sounds

5 months. I started with meditating and running for 5 minutes each and increased it every two weeks or more whenever I felt like it. As mentioned doing 15 minutes of each now. Got my dad to do the same. I actually made him start with just 1

I have heard that too but never really got down to testing it out. In fact I have resigned to the fact that when it comes to sleep to each their own. For eg I have experienced better quality of sleep after taking ZMA ( I weight train ). But

I second that! I have tried sleeping for 8 hours and I just end up feeling sluggish all day. Less than 6 hours has the same effect. 6 hours just happens to hit the sweet spot. I would suggest meditating anytime in the day. I dont believe th

Media extolling people who pour themselves into work does not help. Those are the people many of us ( at least I ) look up to. I am working on my second start up. On top of that I freelance for income. There is little time for "life&qu
