Working out? A squat rack + Starting Strength book does not cost much and you won't need a trainer and you will become strong, fast.

None of the things you described have to cost a lot of money. Cheap bike, is still a bike. You can still watch a cheap tv. "Nice" does not mean much, really.

I`ve made a reply to your original post, but I`d like to add to my earlier question. Any books or resources or suggestions on defining values, techniques to exert more control over my internal state?

Thanks again.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Could you point me towards books or some other resources that go in to more detail about number 2. that you`ve found useful, and others(although they are more or less self explanatory).

Would you be so kind as to share a few resources?

Thank you

Read and fully implement Getting Things Done by David Allen. It’ll free up your mind even more.

Any suggestions about how to improve? Your writing IS clear and concise. =]

I'm sorry this is off-topic, but there's no other way for me to contact you.

I read your comment in one post about salaries: "Your comment really saddens me. There’s so much more you could have. There’s no reason why what I make has to be an outlier. I’m so so so not special. Many people have come on HN to say exactly what I’ve said and have achieved outsized results. Jesus, is patio11 really that incredible of a guy? I mean, he’s really nice and pretty smart but dude he made his start with a bingo card creator. Our mindset is our greatest limitation."

I'd like to send you a letter. Could you please drop me an email at xplosiveoctopus (at) gmail.com?

Thank you for your time, Ryanmarsh.

It’s their platform and they can do whatever they want. They invested, they built it, they rule it. Whiny generation and their stupid EU laws...

GTD

Hi, I’ve re-discovered GTD recently and I’m blown away by the depth of the book and the possibilities it has opened for me. I’ve got a few people interested and started on GTD. I’m yet to finish my first weekly review, but that’s not my point...

I’d like to ask you to share more info about those other things you’ve mentioned, because if you consider GTD valuable, then I’d like to know about what else have you benefited from and why.

I know about the 5 second rule. I’ve read the book.

Thank you.

P.s. it was weird finding only one comment about GTD.

This 3 minute video explains this and gives tips on how to go about it all.

Great book.

It was the fourth or third book I had read in my life up until that point.

I read it and realized that in order for me to quit smoking, I had to quit drinking(I was around 19 at the time and a heavy drinker), and in order to do that I needed to change/get away from the circle of friends at the time. That day, after finishing the book the decisions were obvious and I did exactly what needed to be done. It was like: 1,2,3 done. I did it!

I quit drinking for 1,5 years. Moved to a different tow, to get away from all my friends at that time. Started reading books like mad, because I realized that the info in a book can substantially change my life.

I’m 30 now. I’ve been free from smoking for more than 10 years. Reading books has led me into having a well paid(by the standards of my country) job in SEO/digital marketing. I have not started, nor finished uni.

I think I need to re-read it, because I’d like to kick my habit of drinking and a few other bad habits.

I could not recommend it enough.

Could you elaborate on how do you go about keeping in touch with people professionally. It’s a struggle for me to even keep in touch with friends. I guess I need to sustematize it somehow, because otherwise I just don’t keep in touch with anyone. I’m 30, so it’s an issue.
