Remember when reading Hacker News was considered a time-waster?

Fair, there's a ton of bs out there.

I hope you find something that works for you

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

There's so much nuance and individuality and cultural baggage around ADHD treatments, it's difficult to convey, and you've done so very well here. I'll see if I can incorporate some of that as I finish up the 100 posts.

I'm writing it as I go. There's an annual challenge called threadapalooza where you write 100 tweets on a subject in December

There's a wonderful group that meets every Saturday to practice and discuss: https://tasshin.com/metta-squad/

McMaster-Carr might have a better selection of obscure fasteners/hardware/tools. Pricier, but often faster shipping than Amazon

Roam is heavily influenced by Zettelkasten, it's the first digital version I've seen that works well

I'm a big fan of Barbell Medicine's work but they really need an easy to digest article on the bio-psycho-social model.

Look at how much fear-mongering is in this thread alone!

It's not about this case, it's about the precedent

If anything, good writing is more persuasive than face-to-face. A well written document carries some gravitas.

Of course, you have to get decision makers to read it...

I don't care about bezels or absurd amounts of RAM.

All I care about in a phone is the camera and headphone jack, so I ordered one. Good move Google. I wasn't expecting to buy a phone for another 6 months or so.

I can't tell if they got hacked or seriously are launching a product called "payboo"

Teaching Tech Together[1] is an incredible resource for learning how to structure lessons in a way that makes ideas stick. Highly recommend.

Commoncog has a nice general overview [2].

I haven't been traveling quite as long as GP but here's my two cents. Even as an introvert getting social interaction improves travel so much.

In a new city try to find a 'social hostel' (not a party hostel, unless that's your thing) with organized walking/food tours. Go on said tours and chat with everyone. After the tour see if anyone wants to get dinner/drinks/sight-see together.

Basically everyone in common areas at a hostel will be open to conversation at least. Be the initiator, chat with people, organize a group to go get dinner, etc.

If you aren't good at being the initiator, try to find someone who is and befriend them. Add people on whatsapp/messenger and setup a hostel group chat.

Befriend people who are also traveling longer term, they're usually more open to change plans a bit.

Socializing takes more effort and most relationships will be fleeting, that's the nature of the beast. But nothing makes a trip like organizing a small group of friends to travel together to a few different cities. You can create much stronger bonds and even some life-long friends.

The effects of this are easiest to see with online recipes; the highest ranking recipes are all thousand word ramblings with a recipe tacked on at the end. Google sees you spent more time on the site (i.e. wasted scrolling) and thinks you were more 'engaged.'

It's worth it.

Previously I would save notes and never use them. Now my notes are set up in a way that I get more projects done. Having reference material progressively summarized makes collecting ideas and shaping it into a deliverable way easier. Loading context for a project is way easier with a system like this, it makes an interruption much less painful.

The other benefit of taking the course is the forum, plenty of smart people to meet, discuss pkm and other ideas.

Here's a ribbonfarm article on using this sort of natural laziness to build things (architecture, behaviors, systems): https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2018/04/06/deep-laziness/

Derek's book notes inspired me to post my own [1]. Making the effort to clean up my notes and go through them strengthens the lessons learned.

However, I'm not sure how valuable these types of notes are for others. Often I find a passage that resonates with me falls flat for others, and vice versa. It depends on other books you've read, life context, etc.

I do try to indicate who might find the book helpful, or who should probably skip it.

I've been using focusmate for months, it's surprisingly effective (I figured since they can't see my screen I'd go on hn/twitter anyways, but I dont). Not only is it good for staying on task, I find the biggest benefit is committing to be in your chair at a certain time.
