on: Ask HN: Have OCD, suffering from extreme procrastination, please help?
If you haven't already tried a consistent exercise program, I highly suggest it. I've dealt with a few of these issues throughout my life, OCD, A.D.D., procrastinating, and for awhile, severe depression. I have been on a daily exercise routine for the last 9 months, and it has helped a great deal. My physical health has dramatically affected my mental health. I have always lacked drive, as most things came easy to me. And it's very hard for me to stick to a regular exercise routine. But it's been worth it. My overall health, physical, mental, and emotional, have greatly improved. My friends, family, and coworkers have all commented on it. While I still have struggles, it's become much easier to deal with them.

on: Ask HN: Does targeted advertising work at all?
I have learned to ignore ads in general, except when I use a search engine and the top results are ads. When that happens, I spitefully avoid clicking the sponsored links, even if they are pointing to where I want to go. I will intentionally scroll down further and click into the unsponsored links. Maybe I'm just weird, but at the very least, I'm confusing the algorithms.

on: Ask HN: Best way to improve my chances of a support job?
I agree. Listing many skills not needed for the job can be distracting. I always had my sister (H.R. Director) fine tune my resumes. I recommend finding someone that can help you do the same. It also helps avoid making you look like a "jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none". Determine exactly what kind of support a company is looking for, and write your resume for that job.
