That's not true. If you had an emergency appendix surgery in the middle of the nowhere and there was only one surgeon, would you question how many hospitals he worked at before? If you are good at your job and can prove it, then it doe

It's true. I don't know what years 8-10 feel like. But author is not asking that. I gave advice for author's question: _How do you go from the "new clueless person at work" to "oh hey Mike, I'll need your

Been there, done that. 10+ different jobs in a span of 15 years (contracting). Let's start with the basics. Be a nice person, approachable and someone easy to work with. This will remove the barriers and your co-workers will be more wi

Depends on your needs. Good luck getting uber to the airport at 5am. I had no luck reserving a car in advance neither. In this case, licensed minicab met my needs and I don't even bother getting uber to airport anymore. Hailing a taxi

As someone who had little investment knowledge acumen "Cashflow Quadrant" was an eye opener and game changer. It was the only book from Kiyosaki that I read and it was sufficient for me to look at the world differently. It doesn&

My favourite is russian ‘запомни’ and polish ‘zapomnij’ which sound very similar but mean completely the opposite - ‘remember’ and ‘forget’. One might think how through history one word got the opposite meaning.

This. Tried many diets, patterns, IF, etc... Only calorie counting worked and managed to lose 18kg (40 lbs). Calorie counting builds habits, makes you aware of what you eat and is a long term solution (rather than quick fix). Someone once t

"On Becoming a Leader" by Warren Bennis This book is not very big but is exceptionally dense and easy to read. I found a lot of useful information that I apply to my daily life - reflection, being authentic, allowing oneself to ma

Thank you for suggesting Clive Cussler. I was looking for some good fiction to read so might try his work. My guess that in Switzerland there're plenty of places to look outside during your commute. Not all countries are so picturesque

My colleague cycles and listens to audiobooks. Works for him, but I find it too distracting. Besides, you would need a good pair of headphones that let the outside sound in.

I wish these articles would make a clear distinction between blueberries and bilberries (wild blueberries) which are so common in eastern European forests but almost unavailable on the shelves. They have very dark purple colour and are full

After checking your website I have made some points: What are you exactly offering? Sending sms from the website? That's great - I need it. But.... Why would I choose you and not an established company in this domain? What can you offe

edit: referenced article includes daily menu and in ultraprocessed menu you can find "Whole milk (Cloverland) with NutriSource fiber". I think it's not the milk, it's the addition of fiber what makes it ultraprocessed.

Bryan Cranston: A Life in Parts. It shows Bryan's life, struggles and pleasures - everything that prepared him to play Walter White in Breaking Bad. That's the only Autobiography I ever read, but once I picked up the pace I couldn

Can you expand on the last one? I reached the conclusion that I am the most creative, productive and feeling the best when I am bored. But there is price to pay - it takes a lot of effort to get bored. Our generation is constantly distracte

Thanks for spotting! Finding currency on a page has proven to be the most challenging part of this work.

That is exactly the same view I have about the stuff I buy. My concern is, however, about younger people who might not fully comprehend that time is the most valuable asset we, humans, have. I hope this idea could grow into something bigger

Thank you. I had some doubts putting it under "Fun" category in Chrome Web Store. I recommend you to take it for a test ride - install it and try it on Bugatti cars, private jets, mansions or anything really. Essentially, see how

I must admit that I have never applied such an approach to saving my money but it's something that I would definitely try. Thank you for sharing. I haven't used this extension for a prolonged time yet so I cannot really say if it

That's an interesting point, thank you for spotting this. I believe there are many ways you can play around with this extension and draw your own conclusions. In your particular example, it made me realise that if we were to pay for it

Hi all, Inspired to minimise my expenditures and be more aware of my spending habits I wrote a small chrome extension. "Pay with life" extension replaces any prices in the online stores with amount of time it would take me to earn

First of all, make the website look more professional. I.e. Do Not Capitalise Every Single Word. Secondly, fix spelling mistakes ("Its a numbers game").
