Glad to hear it man. Any plans to do a startup?

I don't know. I've given it some thought, but I don't think it is. My working theory is that there is no single, integrated 'I' that makes decisions. Rather, we are the sum of competing drives and motivations. So a part of me wants A and an

Oh yes my friend. Just last night, I was watching clips from Wall Street and Money never Sleeps, and Boiler Room, while listening to Rick Ross & Nas' song Usual Suspects: We're the usual suspects, The real definition of success, Throwi

I think you're right. That's why I posted to HN (long time lurker) - I hated myself this morning.

Earlier this year, I created a list of things I want to do before I die: 1. Write & produce a Grammy-winning Song, that shakes people to their core. 2. Break the 100m record in 2012 3. Master a technical/engineering subject 4. Design a

I do this, but usually fall back into my old habits. But you're right. Habits are God. I'd rather not say what the spreadsheet is for, but it's not my end game. The proceeds of that will go to my other startups; for example my greeting card

Thanks for the reminder. It's just that I set out to do something; yet do nothing. If I'd consciously set out to relax for the weekend, I wouldn't feel bad.

Happy Birthday when it comes! Was there a specific incident that caused you to wise up? Some sort of epiphany?

I've started some elementary time management in the past and gotten some results, but I lacked the discipline to maintain it. How do you do it?

"Realize now you are statistically unlikely to get it; and, given that, think about what you specifically want rather than broad concepts." Funny, I was about to read a chapter on this very topic in Felix Dennis' How to Get Rich' last ni

I'm sure this sounds disappointing, but basically there's nothing you can do other than start. I've been giving this same advice to others, and I have started, but like edw519 said, I'm using the spreadsheet as an excuse. Thanks eelco.

Tell me about it. Wouldn't you know it, part of those Friday nights are spent looking up at the sky, dreaming about said future wealth... My highest value is autonomy: ability to do what I want, when I want. This is what I'm hoping money wi

A "complicated spreadsheet" isn't a requirement, it's a roadblock. You're making it harder for yourself by putting obstacles in front of yourself and then wondering why it's so hard to make progress. This is true on so many levels. To get

I've read that statistically, you are far more likely to die in a car accident than a plane crash.

I was waiting for someone to mention Metal Gear Solid! Hideo Kojima's genius is evident throughout the entire game. I remember that the game had me so on edge, I had to drink water and go to the bathroom every 5 minutes. For the whole day.

Honestly, I wasn't thinking about the 'truth' of the claims, I'm FAR from qualified to judge. But rather his approach is something that would be interesting to hackers. Was I wrong?
