tmatthe··on Being OK with not being extraordinary
That's a good idea, in the beginning I had no idea how hosting works so I just went with HostPapa, but now I am considering switching.
tmatthe··on Being OK with not being extraordinary
I think it's working now.
tmatthe··on Being OK with not being extraordinary
HostPapa. I contacted them and they said it was a problem with their server, so I can't do anything about it sadly.

Thanks for posting this! My website is currently down and I'm in the process of fixing it.
tmatthe··on Being OK with not being extraordinary
I really like this take. Haven't thought about sustainable emotions much, but this hits the mark.

It's nice to hear that you've found some peace! There's no point in being the best if you will crash and burn quickly.
tmatthe··on Being OK with not being extraordinary
AH yes that is exactly what I meant! I love the examples you put out here.
tmatthe··on The Art of Not Thinking
I see your point. I meant it more as a method to quickly get started on a task without having to think too much, but I realize that having to select the easiest part might be too much thinking already. I'll add a footnote for that.

Oh that's a good one, thanks for sharing!
tmatthe··on The Art of Not Thinking
Nice to see it works for others as well. And thanks for sharing how you code while thinking less, it's interesting to see how this can be applied to different areas in life.

That's true nothing ever follows a straight line from where you start to where you want to end up. You can't get away from the oscillating, but I do believe you can minimize it through practice and techniques.
tmatthe··on The Art of Not Thinking
Interesting, I've never had that work for me. I would just go to sleep.
tmatthe··on The Art of Not Thinking
That's a good technique for removing all possible excuses. It might take some effort in the beginning to actually follow the reminders, but as you said, after some training it becomes easier.
tmatthe··on The Art of Not Thinking
Yes I do this too! It's amazing what mindset can do.
tmatthe··on The Art of Not Thinking
Exactly. If you don't give your brain an option, you can't find a way to not do it.

I agree with your point on lying. I have tried it before but it takes a lot of mental effort to trick my brain and even then, it's a precarious situation where one loose thought can bring it all tumbling down.

tmatthe··on Contentpreneurs
Making content is a good way to be successfully passive for some time, but unless it is timeless, I think we still need to earn our reputation as contentpreneurs by creating again and again.
tmatthe··on The High Cost of Caring
So true, caring is difficult but it can be extremely worth it in the long run.
