I started meditating => HeadSpace. This really has the most gains for me. I don't even do it everyday and I feel like I'm looking at myself in a totally different perspective. I've started observing my fears, my emotions, etc.
I do Yoga if I can in down time. => Yoga Studio.
Consistency is key. I don't run much yet, but I'm trying to get up to 3 days a week x 3 miles. Really, the hardest part about ANYTHING is consistency. So even running 1 miles x5 is WAY better than running 5 miles x1 per week.
Really? Their strategy to starting a business is making a pyramid scheme?
I used to be big on recycling and composting. When I moved in with my current roommate, he didn't do any of it. He just dumped everything into the closest bin, and dumped the bin in a random colored bin. After many arguments with him, I've come around to his way of thinking.
The calculation he had made was actually a very smart one. He wasn't careless, he was actually being very careful. He calculated that he makes on average $150 an hour. If he wastes about 20 minutes a month or more sorting stuff, he basically is already behind. Even worse, sorting adds so much mental stress that the cost of this actually much higher. Even for my salary range, which is about 1/3rd of my roommates, it is still a waste of time to sort trash.
Here is some dude optimizing his time by not wasting it on recycling and he already has a competitive advantage over me, while here I am struggling to get through some for loops. Why should I regress myself even more?
The system heavily incentivizes not bothering. I wish the world was designed where I could care about the planet, but we as a society have chosen to not reward that.
