    "New Study Destroys Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 Hour Rule"

    MINDSET 
    Not practice makes perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. Meaning that the 10.000 hours rule is only valid if every hour is single-mindedly spent working in that area where you are lacking at that specific point in time. It also implies that practice is done in a "flow" state meaning it does...

    Are you ignoring the gold right in front of you?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Oh man, I feel you're describing my exact situation. I'm in cybersecurity and specifically in incident response/forensics meaning I investigate hacked servers/computers to find out what happened and respond to ongoing hacks or things like ransomware outbreaks. I just ended up there , I'm a...

    Have Smartphones Destroyed Humanity?

    HOT! 
    When driving you can tell which people are texting in their cars. It really has become a problem and not one that is easy to solve because it's basically a dopamine addiction. The same addiction that hooks people to certain reward-based video games like World of Warcraft, the same addiction that...

    GOLD! IDEA 
    This tool just accused me of being a liar and providing contradicting information on the form and it refused to grade me. Are you developing an AI that can look into our souls , @MJ DeMarco ?

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Please don't hate me @MJ DeMarco , but I have to ask, do you store the information? It's actually pretty genius if so. You can literally run off with the A+ business ideas- pick those you like and execute a hundred times better than someone who has a great idea but probably isn't going to...

    How to deal with unpaid invoices?

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    I had this happen to me a few times. The main tip I would give is to remove any emotion from the entire process. You can sense OP's frustration and anger with his customer. That's not going to make it easier. I'm sorry but going to sit in the lobby is a low-status move. Really, your time is...

    The War of Art or How To Beat Resistance

    MINDSET 
    I noticed that a lot of people on this forum are talking about action faking vs. execution. This really has a lot of analogies with what artists and creative people have to contend with. This entire board is - or should be - filled with creative people. Indeed, whether you are a writer or you...

    Efficiency by The Wall Street Playboys

    Hmm .. so I bought this and I am very put off by the language. This seems like it was written by someone that does not master the English language and it seems so frenzied I'm pretty sure the authors were on cocaine while writing this

    First of all, allow me to say that I FREAKING love this forum. So many intelligent people. Honored to be part of the tribe Secondly, there are aliens. And a lot more than you might think. Like other posters have already said here is that our minuscule brains can't comprehend the scale of the...

    Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl

    HOT! 
    This podcast made me go back to this book again. Be warned, Jocko Willink apparently thought the imagery from the book wasn't disturbing enough, so he added his own from another source. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0HA9RtxWa0

    Hey guys (and gals), I'm going to have to sit this one out. Seems my wife and I underestimated the impact of having a third child. We are both beat down due to lack of sleep.

    Game of Thrones Season 8 Thread (SPOILERS)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This last episode was beyond awful. There is simply too much to list here. It was a giant cringe-fest. For example the part where Samwell Tarly tries to push for a democratic vote. Why the F*ck was that necessary? Plus they just skipped over the different plot holes. So after Jon killed Dany...

    Game of Thrones Season 8 Thread (SPOILERS)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The common thread among the famous as well as the infamous is a dominant meaning-and-purpose. And likewise, the common thread amongst the SCRIPTED sheeple is they have no meaning.Instead, hyperreality babysits—this is why we have a society addicted to Game of Thrones and whoever wins some stupid...

    Why we aren't successful and what to do about it - The TURBO MINDSET thread

    MINDSET 
    The older I get, the more I start to realize you need a lot more than just mindset alone. There is survivor bias in business and history is written by the victors. Just like MJ's books are written from a perspective of someone who made the transition to "the fast lane". We might just all be...
