i walk 5 miles 4-7 days a week and if everyone did just that and nothing else it would eliminate a great majority of health issues. I am 37 and plan to do this until I no longer can. Walking is the perfect exercise in that you can easily multitask with a podcast, phone call, listening to music, writing/dictating. It is very low impact so the likelihood of injury is pretty low. You can do it anywhere on earth and need only a good pair of shoes.
Better protected with a CC because you are spending a banks
money and not your own. Obviously they will care alot more about theirs, however nowadays Debit Cards have very similar protections. Just pay the full balance every month and you never go into debt and with the right card you will earn a free vacation once a year with the bonuses.
I never used to mind working from the office when I had a private space (cubicle) where I could retreat to when the task commanded deep focus. Somewhere around 2010 however the dreadful 'open office' took over and I found myself at a long table in the middle of an open room with little separation between other employees. This is an absolute nightmare and productivity killer for me. I was glad to read the opposite end of the spectrum in many of these comments and it is now even more apparent to me that great flexibility for the individual is needed to maximize their own style/situation/productivity.
What’s the consensus on that assertion from The Matrix in which the human race is actually a virus on the planet, slowly consuming its resources and sucking the life out of it and AI is actually going to save the planet from the virus? Other species do seem to have no issue living sustainably within the environment. Humans on the other hand......
Me too. After a short break of a few weeks I definitely feel like a better player. I think part of it is a genuine missing of the activity and a renewed motivation and sense of enjoyment.
As a totally self-taught and advanced-beginner in bare bones R, Python, CSS, VBA, etc What can you recommend as the #1 thing I can do to improve my approach to programming? Not talking about syntax p,which I can easily reference when needed, but high-level paradigms and thought-patterns. Is there a favorite book, school of thought etc? Much appreciated. I know it’s a broad question.
I have a similar mindset and experience as you. American society is ridiculous in how rigid it is on this aspect. I essentially need to quit to get the balance I truly desire. I have no issues working for 6 months all day everyday totally dedicated and focused but then I need about 3 months to recharge. Trying to become sort of a “supertemp” but it’s not that easy. I am about to quit again, have been working for 8 months, 60 hr weeks, saved $25k and am going to do whatever I want for awhile. I am a top performer but I work in 6 month spurts of focus. I need that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, focusing me and my efforts to the freedom that awaits.
Ever get shin splints? Every time I make the attempt to make running a habit, I get them after a week or two and have to stop. I think I just really need to ease in and let my legs adapt.
I am very glad to know there are many people out there like myself. This article touched on many good points. I prefer to be alone about 70% of the time. I NEVER feel lonely, in fact just the opposite. I feel inspired in thought and connected to the massive pulsating power of our universe and everything in it. To be around people actually pulls me down into the superficiality of EGO which is not where I prefer to spend my time. I have practiced meditation for more than 10 years now and I credit this practice with allowing me to find comfort and power in Solitude. It really is a super power in today's world. I am completely comfortable with myself simply sitting on a bench doing nothing. I do not need more than that. There are certainly times where I do want to be around like minded people. I am constantly getting pressure from family etc.. to change my ways. The vast majority of people are obviously not like this.
