PS- I'm sure you only have the best intentions.

And I can't help but feel like an effective serial killer wrote that post.
Though, I'm sure when you actually need a doctor, you won't be feeling that you still have better things to do.
Yes, and par would be like needing a doctor about once every three months. Keep it less frequent than that, and you're winning the game.
A friend of mine without insurance skateboards at a skate park. And I'm like "dude, that's pretty risky for not having insurance."
He explained the math to me, as long as he doesn't break a bone or need stitches more than once every few months, then not paying for insurance saves him money even if he has to pay $300-500 out of pocket at a walk-in clinic.
For young people in America, it seems that the only time that insurance isn't a net negative is when: 1) you have a chronic illness that requires regular treatments, 2) you have been diagnosed with cancer, and 3) pregnancy.
If you have insurance, the opposite is the case.
What about when a President appoints his daughter and son-in-law?
Yes, we'll said.
What has worked to solve this in the past? Is there any precedent for getting back to a productive discussion? Can't we act in a way to proactively cool emotions and identify the root issues?
Yes, though I also appreciate when people recognize and call out these biases. That has helped me understand the phenomena of physiological biases. And HN is the only place I can think of where people actually recognize this sort of thing.
Thanks for pointing out this problem.
Is this something that might get better in time? For example, downvotes catching up with those who can't participate in a productive discussion.
In the USA or China?
What makes you so sure?
At least someone has to pay for the book to be in a library.
Time and time again, I wake the next day will the full-blown illness.
Instead, a little rest goes a long way in letting my body heal itself.
And anecdotally, both my partner and I can recognize adverse psychological effects in myself after I consume too many high-glycemic carbs (ie, sugar).
David Allen, in GTD, recommends an alphabetized system. Something that I don't do because all of my reference material is digitized and easily searchable.
Search-ability is the primary reason I avoid keeping a large physical file system.
I take inspiration from multiple books written about productivity and organization. Other books that have been highly influential in my systems are:
- Principles (Dalio)
- The ONE Thing (Keller)
- Organize Tomorrow Today (Selk, Bartow)
- Productivity Planner (more of a journal than a book)
Something I try to do is keep my physical notecard files small. Besides the inbox file, urgent and important notecards are the only ones I keep in a physical file.
It's surprising how fast you can go through a thousand notecards. So effective filing is a must. And for me, that means maintaining digital archives. Something that, on its own, is a whole topic for discussion. Once again, I recommend GTD by David Allen if you'd like to dive deeper and avoid reinventing the wheel.
Put them in an inbox immediately after writing on the notecard.
At a predetermined time, manage the inbox.
Some of my notecards get stored into folders created for current projects. These folders can be digitized at a later date for archiving and searching. Though, most notecards don't make it that far.
Some notecards represent tasks. Those get recycled as soon as they are completed.
Many notecards head straight to the recycling bin. You'd be surprised how often something seems like a good idea before you write it down.
Most of my process follows the "Getting Things Done"(GTD) framework by David Allen. I highly recommend it.
"Your brain is for having ideas, not remembering them."
The value of high-demand domain names should increase on the secondary markets. But, the price of unregistered names should be decreasing.
The worksheets are mostly based on highly recommended books for productivity. Like GTD, Principles, ONE Thing, OTT and many others.
I fill out the worksheets by hand. I archive the majority of the completed worksheets. And information that needs to be searchable gets transcribed into accompanying spreadsheets or documents.
The worksheets have been critical for maintaining my current projects without wasting time. They are great at helping me maintain strategies I've worked hard to acquire. They can also help teach these strategies.
I've been considering publishing these worksheets as I have dozens of them.
What would make you interested in using worksheets?
