    How to note ideas during date?

    IDEA LANDFILL 
    Is this a real concern you have? Are you actually prepping for a date and you're concerned you're going to be rude? Or is this just a 'thought' that popped into your head when showering? If you really think of a great idea, excuse yourself to the restroom and put it on your phone. Wait for...

    The worst book I ever read was..

    HOT! 
    I think I list that one somewhere in this thread as well. Gladwell has huge numbers of fans and has sold countless books, but I won't be picking another one up. If his other books are anything like Outliers, I doubt I'm missing anything.

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Fantastic so far! I heard that it was supposed to by dry for the first hundred or so pages, but I was onboard almost immediately. Maybe I just like reading plots about railroad development. That said, it is a hell of a doorstopper. I'm a quarter of the way...

    I came across this some time ago, and this thread jogged my memory of it. https://startingstrength.com/articles/barbell_medicine_sullivan.pdf Excerpt: For some time now, in the course of my duties as an emergency physician, I’ve had strange thoughts at the bedside of some of my patients. I’ll...

    Rep bank $0? How it mimics your real life bank.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    This is just me spitballing... Do you think that this could lead to a bit of influx of people trying to 'force' value out of their posts? For example, an increased number of threads saying "Hey guys check out this great article...give me rep plz", possible fabricated progress threads, or "I'm...

    15 Year Old Aspiring to Become a Fastlaner

    INTRO 
    It's probably because I have an English degree, but don't discount books that are not directly related to what you're doing. There are still amazing lessons to be found in older classics. Often, I've found a good narrative (fiction or nonfiction) can impart lessons much more powerfully than a...

    HOT! 
    That's not what this thread is for. You do not need to turn a simple request into a pseudo-intellectual rambling. Edit: User removed original post. Just clarifying so I don't seem like a crazy person.

    #DeleteFacebook

    SOCIAL MEDIA OFF-TOPIC 
    Well, in that case, I would recommend it. It's kind of funny, it's written largely targeting people in corporate America or Academia and, in a way, teaches them to fight the Script to go further in their profession. Because the Script tells you to get a 9-5 and 'work hard'. But, it also tells...

    SOCIAL MEDIA OFF-TOPIC 
    In Deep Work, Newport makes the argument that it's actually affecting our ability to do important work. We're so used to playing on Facebook and 'shallow work' (IE: Answering emails, slack notifications, and repetitive stuff) that we're increasingly unable to actually sit down and do something...

    Does your "get rich" internet guru only make $28K/yr?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Since we’ve been discussing integrity and smoke and mirrors recently... I just saw this posted, almost word for word (the last paragraph had been cut) on a Facebook group I’m in. No attribution or even “Just saw this, and it’s a really good point.” If you’re going to steal MJ’s content, try...

    Pick Only 3 Pills

    MINDSET 
    Hands down, my first choice is to eat without consequences. I can put in the hours of work, I can sweat, I can bleed, to learn those three skills. To earn that 500 a day. But there is no workout routine that will save me from steak and fried oyster poboys with a large coke every day. Hell...

    Master of My Own Fear - Primarily Weight-Loss *155 pounds lost*

    You're doing great man! You mentioned that you're looking to get up earlier, I wrote this about a week ago. It may provide some value to you. Two things that helped me as well were melatonin and the app Sleep Cycle. The app monitors your level of 'activity' in a half hour period and sets off...

    Fake It Until You Make It - Where Is The Integrity Line?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Perhaps the line can be drawn at two things. Where It Is Focused and What Would Happen If It Were Discovered. Fake it till you make it advice tends to be given to those who have trouble believing in themselves. It’s directed more inwards then it is outwards. And I think that’s one place we...

    How to Wake Up Early (Or at least...earlier)

    HEALTH 
    I’ve seen a bit of interest during my time here from users who want to wake up early. Recently, I’ve managed to adjust my wake-up time to around 6 AM, which is something I haven’t done since high school. Being an early riser is something that I’ve long wanted to be, but I never quite got to...

    Providing Value DOES NOT Equal Money

    HOT! 
    Honestly, it seems like you're just trying to be difficult. You're not looking for a discussion where we all exchange ideas and grow together. Because it's a simple discussion. "Yea, you're right Utopia. But providing value makes convincing someone to pay you infinitely easier." You're...

    What do you think about South Korean education?

    This reminds me of a well-studied English writer. John Stuart Mills. His father was a member of the extremely well-educated upper class. This man believed that genius was not hereditary. That you could teach a child to be a genius. So, he used his son as proof. He hired the best tutors and had...
