Tiny Habits by B.J. Fogg would likely help you further. The key trick is to start really small to remove the hurdle of getting going and establishing the habit, and returning to small in moments of low motivation or other impediment (eg 1

Why does that matter? First, I would imagine that in a fragile market any major piece of bad news could trigger the necessary panic (the Credit Suisse hedge fund story would have been a prime candidate), but it seems impossible to know in a

I found this guy's perspective to be useful: https://mobile.twitter.com/DaveHcontrarian In a nutshell: He views the current situation as the end of a 40 year bull market and predicts a very big market crash in the shor

Buy a pan without a non-stick coating (eg stainless steel or enameled cast iron) and try and fry as much as you can in it. The feedback is straightforward: If your food sticks, you've messed up. It teaches you loads about the right amo

This is all very cool, and FWIW I also love the retro design. Sorry if I missed it, but one thing I couldn't find on the website is what legal entity is behind the service. It would be important for me and the organisations I work with

A simple rule for dealing with comments is « no feedback on feedback ». Obviously works best if the person commenting doesn’t have any power in the situation. That being the case, avoiding a big discussion and extracting whatever useful inf

May I suggest two framings that might help? The first is that the option of being permanently productive doesn’t seem to be open to you, at least not right now. The bit that makes compulsive behavior so hard to get rid of is that it bypasse

To your last point, if it is possible for drug addicts and alcoholics to overcome decade long compulsive behavior, there is no reason you can’t too. If you are genuinely clear as to your values and what gives you meaning then mostly it woul

The bit I struggle with is the contradiction between "try ideas out cheaply and fail many times until you hit on the right one" and "believe in what you do and keep going come what may". How do you pick between the two?

Interesting. What sort of backend do you use? Is it homegrown or can you integrate with e.g. Wordpress?

That sounds like a great plot for a sci-fi movie. Not sure if it would be a utopia or dystopia though ...

Jason, this is amazing stuff. As the father of an 8 year old, I'd love to know how you got the kids to the point where "Create a web page called big-green-circle.html" and "Hint: use the events onmousedown and onmouseup

You make a good point. Though this particular friend might well stick to it - €1600 tends to focus the mind. But to be honest, I'm asking primarily for myself and my family. I'm not sure anyone can really be sure there is no malware on thei

I'm not sure if it was Eurograbber itself, but a similar attack in any case. Bank is "trying to help recover the funds" but won't cover if that fails. Part of the problem is that it took him a while to realise this had happened. I think i
