I am in a similar boat, trying to hone in on a topic for an independent research project. At the moment I am considering researching which industries might be disrupted by crowdsourcing similar to how stock photography and language translat

I am a little further away from graduation but it won't be long. I am curious if you have experienced the same thing I have. I went to grad school to gain knowledge and answer a bunch of questions. While many of them have been answered, th

I have been fighting the same issue myself and finally just asked myself, why do I care about being a morning person? The honest answer was that I thought I should be one. Since that revelation I have stopped fighting it and just accepted

This drives me nuts. I am in grad school and had to go buy a TI-82 because my stats professor was convinced that a TI-81 was completely different than a TI-82. I dropped $125 for one course and I now know that I could have used what I had

Do you tend to use it everyday or only on the days you are having a hard time concentrating? And while we are at it, any other great anti-procrastination/focus apps or tricks you have found lately that work really well?

Wow, that looks awesome. Thanks for the suggestion. Have you setup any scripts to run with it? If so I would be curious what you setup?

It is sad how many people wear exhaustion as a badge of honor. I was raised on a farm where when certainly learned how to work hard but if we could ever find a better or smarter way to do it we did. But even in busiest days, when the dinn

I had never really thought about having a PR push after you were already up and running but I guess that makes complete sense. Many stores and restaurants open for a week or two and work out the bugs then they have the Grand Opening . My
