The thing is you're describing the acolyte as well. Same approach one turned out great the other not so great

I do think we tend to underestimate how much you can accomplish with 5 minutes of study a day. My main problem with Duolingo is that it isn't effective, but if I spent the same 5 minutes using anki or a better tool I get results

I have trouble sticking with things. Gamification is absolutely manipulative but it also worked for me. I tried to keel that streak going even when it did nothing for my goals. So I kept the gamification but changed the app so that I'm manipulating myself to further my goals and it works just as well

The gamification is genuinely so helpful. You can get it through other apps like habitica with some setup. I have ADHD too but I found Duolingo good for habit building but jot the greatest for actual language learning

Steamos might be cool as a gaming rig too arch based so you get the best of both worlds

You're not wrong either I like reading enough that I still enjoy reading a book even if I don't finish it. I think I tend to get hooked pretty far into a novel 100 pages or so... Its actually pretty rare that I'm hooked on a story immediately although they do exist. Lol I guess I'm saying I have no idea

I read a lot and at least once a year I encounter a book I almost put down but I decided to keep going and I had 0 regrets. A few of them ended up becoming favourites. Slow burns are a real thing unfortunately

The most 7/10 game I've ever played. But it was still fun

Carrot Season too classic hip hop

If you're willing to go a bit out of hip hop you'd probably love Dijon. Our tastes seem pretty similar. I'm assuming you listen to Freddie Gibbs? If not Bandana for sure collab with madlib and it sounds amazing

 

Push up, pull up, leg raise , and squat progressions daily at about 40% effort. Two hours between each set as per grease the groove. Ideal because I can run the routine in between breaks at work. Did the math on the reps and they equated to what I would be doing if I was on a 3 day split.

 

Hey everyone. I'm curious what books you've found to be useful in your own lives and if you have any reccomendations for us.

Mine would be the Compound Effect by Darren Hardy which talks about consistent small actions leading to momentum/habit and driving massive amounts of change.
