Check out my comment above about: http://tinyhabits.com/ His basic philosophy is to anchor a very small habit to one you already do. For example, is there one thing you always do first at work? Make coffee, open email? Then

If you are interested in creating habits, try this free 1 week course from this site: http://tinyhabits.com/ I did it and it really worked out quite well. The guy who runs it BJ Fogg, also has some quite interesting insight

Do you know how they got to that number of $300 million? Is it just US figures, because the wiki page for 2014 in film shows that the top worldwide grossing film clocked over $1 billion...

This quote is why I will never go back to the USA unless somethings radically change: “It seems like a continual barrage against police,” said John W. Thompson, interim executive director of the National Sheriffs’ Association. “I’m not sayi

Talking fun, I think it would be fun for a company to run a bus factor fire drill from time to time -:just point to one employee and say "Bam! You're hit by a bus, leave the office now here's $2K, come back next Thursday. No

Wow, remind me never to work in finance, too much paranoia for me (though I do know it's justified a lot of the time- I taught some IT folks at a bank once and they told me about a branch manager who went on holiday and forgot to turn

Hold on, let me get this straight: You think that someone who does what he does because he honestly believes he is doing god's work (because of a mental illness) is a dumbass? Next you'll call John Nash fucking retarded for being

Maybe attempt to work with their consumption. I they like watching kids TV shows online, show them how to download the videos and edit them. Maybe they can cut out parts they find boring at first, then move onto making a best of version fro

I have to add that your free material is full of value. I am not affiliated with bdunn in any way, but I have gotten a lot of use just from some of the ideas in his free email stuff. Most recently it was regarding writing proposals, help me

Jesus Christ, (and I say that as a Buddhist) thanks for that rabbit hole. Thanks. I have spent 45 minutes so far on it, and it just keeps getting deeper. If I had enough karma I would downvote you for effectivly killing my evening, but as I

I have to say this type of comment is the reason why I still come to HN day after day, year after year.

I would say they deserve them because we want to live in a 'society'. If they are contributing to society - even just by serving lattes or creating poetry to someone like me who desires caffeine and art, and I in return contribute

I've met plenty of homeschooled people/parents. What on earth do you mean by socially crippled? If anything, these people have been the most socially apt people I've met. Maybe that is because I value different social traits

I read through you new figure of speech, and I don't see why you class it as a figure of speech. Wikipedia defines a figure of speech as "A figure of speech is the use of a word or a phrase, which transcends its literal interpret
