    Apologies - I wasn't very clear, was I? I was typing with half an eye one something else (which is kinda what we're talking about!) I meant to say that if you're ADHD then lack of focus/mind chatter etc, are things that you're probably going to have to work around or with. I live with ADHD...

    What Do Your Guys Daily Schedules look like?

    MINDSET 
    I would love for my schedule to look like this but I just can't do the 0530 thing. Doesn't help that it's dark and cold here at the moment. Did you (or anyone else?) find it easy to start waking up at this time or is something that you have to teach/force yourself to do? And what time do you go...

    "Of the books, I sometimes have to rely on oxytocin to slow down" - eh? Oxy is the love hormone! "meditation, wim hof, cold showers, yoga nidra" - for reasons I've outlined above, if you're on the ADHD spectrum, these probably aren't going to be that effective for you. @Primeperiwinkle 's...

    SO WHAT if your daddy doesn't believe in your dreams!?

    PEOPLE 
    I'm surprised at this too. If one of my mine got on to an Engineering degree I'd be thrilled.

    I was about to ask, 'are you me?' then I saw the bit about missing meals. I NEVER forget to eat. Joking apart, I'm guessing you live alone? I can be very like you but having a family forces me to prioritise, otherwise i would quite happily sit in front of a screen all day. My tips: switch the...

    Buying a home or renting apartment

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    I don't think I said that I didn't like real estate. My response was that - in response to the OP's question - I wouldn't buy somewhere here in the UK which is where I live just because I didn't want to rent. That's not the same thing! In general, to answer your question, I would avoid...

    i've just looked at your timeblock schedule. I am impressed/somewhat staggered that you're still feeling so much family time after a near year long lockdown! I mean, I love my children but I did a little mental jump for joy the day they went finally back to school! :-D

    Huge demand of this service in our country

    RANT 
    Do you mean couriers? There are loads of them here in the UK. Fed-ex, Hermes, DPD, A1 etc, and the local ones used by Amazon, Next and so on. If your country doesn't already have them, maybe try thinking about an industry specific service like the DX system used by lawyers here? You pay a set...

    Facebook Antitrust Lawsuit - What is your intake?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Companies can't just be allowed to become monopolies, create cartels etc. It's not good for democracy and surely it goes against the principles of the free market? If there's only one choice of provider because the big guns squeezed the others out, what sort of market is that? Facebook stopped...

    Facebook Antitrust Lawsuit - What is your intake?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Some might say the govt has a duty to 'interfere' - or 'regulate' as we might call it - companies. You don't think so?

    Buying a home or renting apartment

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    Do you mean buying and renting out so you have a cashflow from the tenants? It was very popular here a few years ago. Everyone seemed to be a wannabe 'property magnate', and I have done it on a small scale with my old apartment. I'm not a fan personally on the basis that the laws here are very...

    Buying a home or renting apartment

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    Many (many) years ago a rich man once told me that 'wealthy people rarely buy property. If you're stuck for cash you can't sell off a bedroom'. I've italicised the word 'buy' as most rich people, in my experience, inherit it. Property isn't remotely liquid (per MJ's rules). A few years ago...

    Jordan Belfort vs Grant Cardone

    MARKETING 
    Interesting topic. I asked for some advice about learning sales on here a while ago and a few people recommended Grant Cardone. I'd not heard of him before. I've since bought one of his books and listened to lots of his YouTube stuff. He is a great motivator. @Kak has a good point that JB...

    How to learn about schemes and games people use for power, control and self entertainment?

    PEOPLE 
    Yes, of course. Do you think politicians' speeches, advertising slogans etc, are just a bunch of nice words thrown together? Old-ish example, but a good and obvious one: listen to any of former UK PM Tony Blair's speeches on UK foreign policy supporting the US in the Iraq War. The support was...

    University has killed my vision

    My ten-pence worth: You don't **need** to be in university when you're young. In some ways, it's probably the worst time to do it unless you have a very clear goal e.g. you want to be a doctor so you need a degree in medicine. The most successful grads I have ever met went to university a few...

    Having Children...Pros and Cons?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I had two in my 30s. I can't imagine not having them. I went from being the most 'emotionally distanced' person you ever met to loving the pair of them with an intensity that's quite frightening (to me) at times. All the cliches are true. It's not always been easy and the life I have now is...
