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.

I've been thinking about how to answer your question, and I realized I just can't do it in this form.

One of the things I've learned over the years is that advice must be tailored to the individual to be useful, and I don't know anything about you.

Feel free to reach me at biren@birenshah.com.

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.
