Contemplate··on Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young – Mary Schmich
I like this: "Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth"
Contemplate··on Micro-dosing reflection to stop weight loss procrastination
This is what you get when a procrastination researcher takes on weight loss. It started as a passion project of mine when I was still doing my PhD. I developed a method for helping people follow through on their intentions by spending a few seconds a day reflecting on what they already know what works for them and why their goal matters.

The research was pretty successful (won a few awards, and was featured by the BBC).

Over 600 people have used the platform now. So far Contemplate is doing what it says on the box.

This is a passion project of mine I started in 2018 when I was still doing my PhD. I developed a method for helping people follow through on their intentions by spending a few seconds a day reflecting on what they already know what works for them and why their goal matters. My research was quite successful, won a few awards, and was featured by the BBC.

Having had over 500 people try the platform, so far it seems that the research was right, and Contemplate does what it says on the box.
