    What questions help you make your final decision?

    MINDSET 
    Welcome Tiffany! Whenever I'm faced with a decision the question I always ask myself is "What is my decision criteria? And why?" When it comes to decisions this is the most important piece of knowledge I've ever came accross and most people quickly overlook it. Most people don't even know what...

    Does everyone struggle to learn code?

    Being a computer science tutor for more than 14 years I can tell you with certainty that if you don't understand something, it's not because you're dumb, it's because whoever's teaching it doesn't understand it well enough to explain it simply and clearly. Do you want to make your doubt...

    Yes, I agree. The timer makes sure you become aware of your progress every 30min (and pause for a few seconds to 5 min). The TAGulator gives you physical feedback on your progress. It has been working pretty great for me until now.

    Hey @Genius01 ! Welcome to the challenge! A TAGulator is just a physical counter, usually with beads. Here's mine: I've built it with a string, 10 beads and 1 clicker at the end. It's strung on a tripod where I also hold my phone where I leave the MultiTimer app opened to track my time...

    I can't edit my previous post, so I'm continuing here. Pure Execution Challenge, Day 11 (2019-09-27) - Went to the hospital to change my knee surgery bandage and it was such a sunny and awesome day I decided to walk around the beach, relax and reflect. I was reflecting on how to improve a few...

    Realized prizes don't matter and the satisfaction of having made this much progress is more than enough motivation, so I'm removing the prizes part of the challenge.

    Yes, that's actually great feedback. I used to do a 10 minute guided meditation for more than a year and now I added another 10 minutes of unguided meditation in the middle of work just to pay attention to my mood and general state. This increase self-awareness makes you less likely to be...

    Pure Execution Challenge, Day 1 (2019-09-17) - 3h of pure execution. Uploaded 25 videos and recorded 36 new ones for my YouTube Channel. I'm 25,4% through with the first of 6 courses I'm creating. Funny enough, even though it gave me great pleasure to think about the challenge prizes, I do not...

    I agree that meditation and the resulting self-awareness are key to notice the pleasure that comes from completing a meaningful task. The point of the challenge, however, is not to overwork, but to make a clear mental distinction between execution and everything else (planning, researching...

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

    I'm combining this approach (just finished my TAGulator this morning) with the 90 day focus challenge from this thread. I work in iterations of planning, research/learning and execution, but I tend to stay stuck in planning, so the key takeaway from the 90 day focus challenge + click training...

    How do i find friends?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Hey Creep. I've been there. In my case, the lack of friends and the inability to connect to other people was rooted in the Nice Guy Syndrome - the belief that you're not good enough so you must hide any and all signs of imperfection so that you try to show a fake nice guy. I recommend skimming...

    Ongoing List of Life Hacks: Save Time and Money

    Yeah, this deserved more explanaition. There's nothing wrong with saving money, as long as that doesn't come at the cost of better decision criteria. Also, there's an upper bound to what people can spend, which seems to be what you're implying. Given a certain amount of income, what's reasonable...
