I'm pleased that the technique worked for you and don't want to denigrate your experience, but looking around it seems that there's very little evidence to support the Buteyko technique, and a fair few red flags: https:&#x2F

I totally agree that capitalism can be a powerful force for positive change, and agree that if it makes businesses care about mental health, that's to be celebrated. However I also think it's important to acknowledge that there&#x

Sure, but a lot of people living in London rent their flat and - even if renting unfurnished - have little choice over their white goods. I'm writing this in my London flat with my damp clothes hanging on a rack following a noisy washi

Totally agree on Anki. It's not just for language learning (although it's great for that - I use it for Japanese). I also have a deck for those day-to-day random facts I used to just keep forgetting - family birthdays, proportions

In British English, 'brackets' means parentheses, as opposed to square brackets or curly brackets (also called braces). Maybe OP uses British English.

It definitely does know how surprising a move is - it generates 'surprisingness' numbers for both itself and its opponent based on how likely it is a human pro would have come up with the move. I like your idea of maximising the &

Evernote supports XML and HTML export. I have mine on external drive and in Dropbox. Migrating to a new platform would be horrible, but at least the data's there.

I had a similar experience, but I think I've cracked this now. For me the two significant changes were developing a friction-free tracking system, and motivating myself to use it reliably. For the tracking system, I use Bullet Journall

Since there's a possibility people will try this, the linked article states that the benefits usually only last until the patient falls asleep. This isn't a practical treatment strategy right now, although it is interesting scient
