Re: The Education of Axel Heyst
The trouble is, when I do that, I downspiral into melancholy pretty quick and just don't do anything. Your answer is on the other side of this door. The only way I crawl out of those holes is by building plans and strategies and then making myself execute them whether I feel like it or not. *have c...

Re: Mens Fashion
If you have a nonstandard body type, one route is to buy whatever you can afford in a larger size, then have it altered. In big cities at least, there are many capable tailors. Here’s the one I used to go to: https://g.co/kgs/YBhyHc

Re: ERE Wheaton Map project: Green origin
I think Green has been burlesqued a bit in these discussions. I note the recent back and forth over whether one must have lived through the previous level in order to reach the next, but that had been my take away from the YouTube video series, and also jibed with my intuitive sense. Hasn’t “you can...

Re: Internet restriction
My experience has been that endless e-surfing is a very effective way to avoid thinking about unpleasant things. What is most unpleasant for me are problems that I don’t know how to solve. The screen time is a symptom of the larger avoidance. When it becomes more important to solve the problem than ...

Re: Digital Minimalism?
Too tired to do anything useful = meditate
Too tired to meditate = danger zone = get nourishment / physical touch / go “off-duty” (ie make sure someone else is responsible for putting out the fires for a while)

Re: Approved for apartment, but they want me to pay rent when someone is still living there for next 2 months?
I once read an article on the wisdom of taking a bench trial (judge decides guilt or innocence) instead of a jury trial. One piece of advice the author shared was that a bench trial is riskier, since jurors are often reluctant to hand down guilty verdicts with long sentences attached, whereas judges...

Re: New member checking in
Welcome and good luck. My word of advice is to reserve some time for your miscellaneous activities now. Even if they’re completely non-remunerative, give yourself an hour or two per week to think deliberately and engage in actionable steps. You might even “pay” yourself for your time. You can accomp...

Re: Cutting down your own tree?
My experience is limited to chopping firewood at the vacation house, but chiming in to say I’ve also known firsthand of a tree cutting death — the husband of one of my high school teachers. Proceed with caution.
