    Working through my biggest mental block. Here it is.

    Hey Tiago! I think the real challenge for me here is not knowing the real *root* motivator behind human behavior. I'm starting to believe it is solely competition, which contrasts with things I've learned in the past, so my beliefs are clashing. I've come to a point where I've told myself...

    Working through my biggest mental block. Here it is.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    My biggest mental block: I can't seem to move on quickly from my successes. I must give myself extended pats on the back and tell myself how great I am every chance I get. (btw, I'm not even remotely successful relative to many people here... but in my world, in my network... I see myself as...

    Here's an AI generated product description for a skin care product. I had to answer like 5 or 6 things which took like 3 minutes and then it generated this: "Developed to combat the natural signs of aging, this Glow Serum anti-aging solution is a popular choice to help skin look and feel...

    Monogamy. The idea of loving only one woman all your life?

    IDEA 
    She wasn't married. No kids. She just got her phd and got a well-paying job while he was making $10/hr. She gave him a lot of time (2-3 years after she got her phd) to figure out what he wanted to do but he just couldn't for some reason. Awfully nice guy and was one of my best friends, but he...

    Monogamy. The idea of loving only one woman all your life?

    IDEA 
    Well TRP exists for a reason. A lot of it is based on truth. Most guys in here saying marriage is so great haven't been married for very long. Of course the first few years will be nice. But what about the guys who are married 20-30 years? Well, they would have to be in their 50s for starters...

    How I hacked my dopamine to train and reward desired work behaviors and halt procrastination

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I've been using peanut butter m&m's and its working great. However, it only works great when I have a list of tasks that have "come to me." I.E. people message me or I have a project come in. I have an established business where people come to me, so I've been on cruise control working 1-2 hrs a...

    What's the difference between Slackers and Go Getters? The answer may have to do w/ brain chemistry.

    Great thread. This stuff fascinates me and allowed me to dive a bit deeper into some areas I was already digging in. I'm a Blake as well, and I just googled "COMT inhibitors" and saw that they are medications used for Parkinson's. My grandpa had Parkinson's and it kind of worries me that I...

    Living in a van down by the river

    HOT! 
    Idk what that lady was expecting, but she clearly didn't do much of any research/planning for living in a van. You can't just go anywhere for free and have a wonderful time. And yeah, solar power is critical. It's mandatory. The fact that this surprised her shows she bought the van without...

    Hobo Ahle is pretty cool. It's trendy nowadays. If you search "van life" on youtube you'll find so many channels. I hate them all except for one, Eamon and Bec. They all do the exact same boring videos nowadays but I really like Eamon and Bec because they were the OG's and seem like great people.

    HOT! 
    If you're only paying $450/mo for rent you wouldn't be saving much if at all, unless you're just going to stay where you are and not travel around at all. Gas + repairs that come up will equate to about that. I put about 4k into my van in repairs in the 9 months I had it. Didn't buy the best...

    Yeah the girls thing is difficult. I actually found myself not caring about it, but that may not be sustainable long-term. I also used to be a hardcore lifter/stayed in pretty ridiculous physical shape, but out in the van I lost all care for that. I had nobody to impress. Walking a lot was good...

    I wouldn't have enjoyed it in an urban area. My time in Denver was my least favorite part. The places I stayed were still within civilization - 25 min drive to grocery store/town with restaurants an hour to big city if I wanted to get fancy and go to whole foods or something. And for sure with...

    Can second all of this. Also, staying overnight in any motel/hotel parking lot is really easy so long as you don't make it obvious you're in there. I even ran into a couple sketchy folks in the places I stayed. One guy seemed to be an old military vet. I ran into town for 30 mins and left my...

    :D I actually stayed in Denver from October - beginning of December. Worked at a co-working space. Basically spent all my time there and then slept in my van on the street, and it got down to 9 degrees as a low one night. It was manageable enough with a couple layers of warm clothing, a good...

    Colorado is the best imo. I stayed in one spot for a month and a half. All places I stayed were free parking. Campendium.com and sort for free spots. I went back to renting because in the winter months you're basically restricted to arizona, and it gets boring there quick. I liked being around...
