Build your own morning routine with these 5 habits:
Waking up sets the momentum for the rest of the day.
When you hit snooze, you throw off that momentum by disrupting your routine.
Hitting snooze once quickly turns into 3 times.
Next thing you know, your whole morning is offset.
Here’s how to fix that:
This removes snooze as an option and forces you to get up.
Once you’re up, it’s 10x easier to stay awake.
A simple trick yielding huge results.
75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
Even a 2% decrease in brain hydration results in short-term memory loss.
Long periods of dehydration causes brain cells to shrink in size and mass.
To prevent this, aim to drink 3-4 liters of water a day.
The best way to increase your focus?
Meditation.
Studies have shown mediation to:
• Raise your mood
• Boost your memory
• Increase clarity of thought
You can use apps like Headspace to help with the habit.
As well, here’s a simple guide to meditation:
1. Sit comfortably.
2. Close your eyes
3. Focus attention on your breath
4. Inhale through the nose
5. Exhale through the mouth
Breathe in for 5 seconds, breathe out for 5.
Repeat for 1 to 20 minutes.
Exercise is proven to boost:
• Brain health
• Energy levels
• Focus + memory
Invest 15-60 minutes into an activity you like.
• Weight lifting
• Running
• Walking
• Yoga
This has immediate and long-term benefits on your life.
Every day, you have thousands of thoughts.
Many silently drain your focus in the background.
Here's how to clear these:
Set a timer for 5-10 minutes and write down whatever comes to mind.
By the end, you’ll have 2x more mental clarity.
1. Quit hitting snooze
2. Hydrate
3. Build your focus
4. Exercise
5. Journaling

The first area to focus on is diversity. This has become a dogma in the tech world, and despite the fact that tech is one of the most meritocratic industries in the world, there are constant efforts to promote diversity at the expense of fairness, merit and competency. Examples:

ElectronConf is a conf which chooses presenters based on blind auditions; the identity, gender, and race of the speaker is not known to the selection team. The results of that merit-based approach was an all-male panel. So they cancelled the conference.

Also in the name of diversity, there is unabashed discrimination against men (especially white men) in tech, in both hiring policies and in other arenas. One such example is this, a developer workshop that specifically excluded men: https://t.co/N0SkH4hR35

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
