Brand, thing, behavior, method, advice, mantra, etc.

I swear by Blackwing pencils.

Also, the ‘two minute rule’, which has really improved my life: “if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it.” I’ve got untreated attention issues and it’s very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn’t forget in the long run has been great for me.

    If someone can’t explain how something works, they either don’t know how it works out don’t want you to know how it works.

    Things can be complicated and have nuance, but there should be a general basic theory.

      The thing is, sometimes you just can’t find the right words to explain it in a simple way. It happens to me all the time.

      I tend to explain stuff to myself to figure out if I think I got it. Sometimes I try explaining stuff on reddit and hope anyone corrects me if I’m wrong. Works great imho.
