    Have Smartphones Destroyed Humanity?

    HOT! 
    This video is relevant. It is batshit crazy how susceptible our brains are to manipulation. And technology is constantly making it easier to do so. Here is the shorter version but I highly recommend watching the 1st link above. You will not regret it.

    Setting Goals

    EXECUTION 
    I highly recommend Habitica if you are planning to set up a routine. My daily routine includes Micro goals which comes directly under my Macro level goals. I also have a M.I.T. (Most Important Task) which I have to do everyday, which moves me closer to my ultimate goal and which even if it was...

    What bad habits have you broken?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    That only worked for me when I had something else to do. Otherwise notification or not, I'll pick it up and start using. Now I have a routine in place so even if I buy one again, I think I'll be better able to control the urge.

    What I'd do if I was 18

    MINDSET 
    Read TMF, Unscripted I still have to read. Learn -> Freelance -> Income -> Save -> Business I'll look into the threads relating to copywriting/coding etc and get on it.

    What I'd do if I was 18

    MINDSET 
    Yeah, but I have to be good at the thing they need help with. The problem I am facing is choosing that thing.

    What I'd do if I was 18

    MINDSET 
    So are you telling me to build up more capital so that I don't give up equity in a future business? How exactly do I do that? I mean the building resources part. What skills would you have picked back then if you were to do it all over again.

    What bad habits have you broken?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Used my phone way too much. Social Media, Youtube etc. I only watched educational entertainment so I excused myself for using it, but I didn't do anything about the things I learned, so it was still wasted time. Sold my phone, because tried quitting but couldn't. Now am way more conscious and...

    What would you do in my situation? Situation I just turned 18. I live in India. I have close to $300 and no skills. And the whole day free. I have the whole routine thing figured out recently and I stick to it mostly. But I can't figure out what skills I should learn and am just wasting time...

    Let’s talk about cyber bullying

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This. Just think of the 'bullying' as feedback for being a dick. I don't know what happened on the thread, but I've rarely seen anyone bash someone else on this forum if there was not a valid reason. Also, we are way too sensitive nowadays imho.

    Learning to Hate (:

    I haven't, no. It is very uncommon here (India) to hold one as a kid from a family with a comparatively decent income.

    Already did, and am trying to stick to it. Any suggestions for skills I could learn to freelance? Something that could help me when I build a business down the road.

    Learning to Hate (:

    INTRO 
    What I meant by that is that I have to learn to like the process as much as I like the outcome of the process/event. Like we all know someone who actually likes going to the gym, or the people who just don't wanna retire (like warren Buffett). Reading this makes me excited to be here, thanks...

    Learning to Hate (:

    INTRO 
    Hey. So I am an 18 y/o guy. Read TMF a couple months ago and I really liked it. Thing about me is I'm basically the human equivalent of a sloth. I scored 1.3/5 on the Grit Test (from the 'GRIT' book), which just means I have zero perseverance/drive/passion etc. Minimum you can score is 1, so...
