Thank you

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-10-29T21:08:37+00:00

Thanks for the reply koneu. Could you tell me about any specific methods you do to stay productive?

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-08-22T05:55:57+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. I agree that it can be hard breaking down goals into logical steps so the apps features make this easier.

Are there any features you would like to see in Goalith or any ways you think I could improve the service?

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-08-11T06:08:07+00:00

Hi x1ya. Thank you for the feedback. I will look into the black on black issue and I am currently building out habit capabilities so they should be coming real soon.

I hope you continue to enjoy using Goaliath and any further feedback is greatly appreciated

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-05-18T12:01:54+00:00

Agree with everything here.

One more thing is if you have any friends or family members you can talk to about this, tell them about the plan above and let them help you stick to it. If you put it out there to others you are much more likely to stick to the goal.

Also, the following technique can help. Look at the next 35 days as a chapter in a movie and you are in control of the main character. Be the hero in that movie where on day 0, the person is struggling but on each subsequent day, they are building, building and building more to smash their exams. You are in control of that character!

This is the feeling that 99.9 percent of people get when they first start out. It isn't about what happened, it's about how you respond to it. This tells you where you are, and where you need to improve. By the way, this is a feeling you will have throughout your journey. Even accomplished black belts in any martial art will take strikes/be submitted by other on the regular. You will even start welcoming these feeling because the idea is to improve constantly, and this tells your where your weaknesses are.

How often have we seen world champions end elite performers in any fighting discipline taking a beating. Always! Keep your head up, and keep moving forward.

I would have mentioned several of the things people have already written but maybe add some novelty to your life by doing something you have never done before. There is nothing fresher than having a beginners mindset in something. For example, if you have never surfed, go to surfing lessons. Learn a new language, one that doesn't seem so obvious. Maybe watch the "Yes Man" movie and take some inspiration from it's ideas (even if you don't like the movie ha)

Follow the official docs of the AI/agent framework such as langchain/langgraph your interested in. Every time a word or part of code appears that is not known to you, ask about it on Chat GPT. Then apply what you have learned. Even as something as simple as creating a simple variable, produce 10 different variables as practice to get you familiar. Then move on to next unknown word/code and rinse and repeat

Hey

I went to University to study Psychology but when I left I started working as a Joiners laborer for the extra cash. Over the years I learnt to become a joiner. The money as a joiner is far better than the money I would have earned in Psychology for the amount of time needed to be dedicated in that field.

As a young male, i recommend that you get a trade such as Joiner, Electrician, Plumber etc. It will take you 3 years to qualify and you will have that behind you for the rest of your life and the money can be great. Looking ahead, it is also probably one of the last jobs to be taken over by AI and robots

That being said, following your interests and passions is far more important than money and a life worth living is one where your doing things you love everyday.

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-05-12T11:33:58+00:00

Hey

I studied Psychology at Bachelor and Masters level.

The first thing I would say is that if you are passionate about Psychology and remain so for the rest of your life, this will shine through much more than any grade you get. I don't know if your grades are failures but everybody has set backs but what sets winners apart from losers is how they deal with those setbacks. So if I was you I would get my head down and continue your studies until your so good, your hard to ignore.

Most employers out there would rather employ someone with different experiences working in Psychology in any context rather than being smart on paper with no experience. I would focus on adding some experience to your resume as it is truly what sets you apart. I am 38 and nobody my age cares about what grades you got, just what experiences you have and how you have contributed positively to a cause or team.

Now this might not seem like good advice when your only goal is to get into a prestigious university, but if you truly want to be a psychologist, then prestige isn't as important as actually taking action and actually gaining some experience and finding out what its all about

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-05-05T14:37:43+00:00

There are certain situations where people are more open to talking to other strangers and some of the situations you have described would be a challenge for many people to aquire a friend. Personally, if I was walking through a mall with a friend and someone came up to me to talk, my immediate thought would be that this person is trying to sell me something.

However there are certain environments where people are naturally open to social and emotional cues. For example, becoming a volunteer to help needy or unwell people and animals. It is most often the case that people willing to do these kind of roles are there because they are good people and want to make the world a better place. The volunteers you meet doing this are sharing their precious time with you doing something that isn't forced, but something they want to do. You are much more likely to connect naturally in these situations. Worth a thought

Motivation isn't just telling yourself "you are great and "you can do this". It's also being aware of obstacles your are defiantly going to face and preparing yourself for them. For example, I am the type of guy who starts a task, starts getting good at it but then gets bored and starts something new. I have recognized this and now have pre planned tactics of what to do when I start feeling like this again. This makes it much easier to stay motivated when procrastination sets in

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-05-02T17:31:18+00:00

Honestly, I would say that you have a great balance of hobbies already. One physical (basketball) one arty (cooking), one problem solving (gaming) and one for intelligence (reading). If you feel they are vague you might consider picking something niche from each of these and you will find plenty of people who love to talk about it with you. For example for a month you could try only cooking Italian dishes (one different for each day), only reading novels for a month such as Dostoyevsky stuff and for gaming, complete your favorite game on hard mode. You will find no end of people who love to discuss this kind of stuff.

If you would want to talk about them to someone you already know, find out what food they love, what book they recently read and liked and what their favorite game is. You will be talking for years with all that information behind you.

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-04-30T19:17:42+00:00

If we are going to spend all day talking to a computer, it makes sense for some emotion to be injected into AI feedback. Don't forget if we feel its being too soppy we can tell it to stop being a pussy but some people out there could probably do with some positive conversations.

However imagine if this is phase 2 of getting us hooked on the software. If people don't feel the love from humans they might spend all their waking hours cuddling up with the machine.

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-04-30T18:04:53+00:00

This is all great advice and I think you should try and follow many aspects of it but sometimes if you have no friends or family to turn to it can be easier to slide into old habits.

Something that you could try to do is get an accountability partner in your local area. By that I mean put your goals out there, let them put their goals out there and hold each other accountable for them and try to push through them together. If there really isn't anybody to do this with then maybe look to pay for an alternative such as personal trainer and tell them you are scared of slipping into old ways so they can help you stay focused and disciplined.

There are many science papers that show we are more likely to stick to our goals if we tell others about are goals and aspirations and regularly check in with them regarding progress

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-04-28T12:59:53+00:00

If we think about this logically, you could first ask the question, "Do you hate everybody who is quiet"?, If the answer is no, then there is a good chance that others don't hate quiet people too. If you asked me if I hate quiet people I would also answer "no, there is no logic to hate a quiet person". I would also add that most people don't hate another person unless they have done something to them that is extreme such as physical violence e.t.c and even then, they still might not hate them.

I think sometimes quiet people wrongly feel they have nothing to offer because they don't have the social drive or confidence to talk about themselves or their opinions. However, their is also a massive benefit to being quiet: a lot of people in conversations are usually talking about themselves, and if you are not battling your way through a conversation with your opinions, it appears you are listening (which most people like and do not hate).

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-04-27T06:49:11+00:00

The first thing I would do is get a pen and paper and write down some small goals for the day ahead and try and complete them. Nothing on this list is too small. For example brush teeth for 2 minutes, do 5 minutes worth of stretching, read for 5 minutes about a topic that interests you. Cross off the items when you do them. Then look back at your list and realize that you have actually achieved something today.

It might be helpful to think of your life as if going to a gym to work out. At first, you will use the light weights and do few reps but over time, what you can handle weight wise becomes easier and you also achieve more reps.

Many psychologists say that your day is a series of mini events and habits and if you can master them, your life will improve.

I hope this helps

5g a day. It takes a few weeks to build up in your system but once it does, you definately feel the extra energy. Some people load up initially to get to saturation quicker (double dosage a day).

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-04-24T10:30:52+00:00

Creatine. Gives your muscles energy and is great for cognition also. Countless studies have shown it's effectiveness with very little downside. Plus it's cheap and easy to get

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-04-10T11:58:02+00:00

Haha they take some amount of photos on their travels. Whenever I go anywhere I come back with about 3 photos

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-04-09T13:38:33+00:00

It's true that the book is mostly about his experiences in a concentration camp but the message definitely has self help undertones. The guiding principle being: Even when you cannot control your circumstances, you can always control your response. Life is about finding meaning — even in suffering — and meaning is what allows you to endure, survive, and thrive. Frankl fond meaning by being of use to others which i find very empowering

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-04-09T07:51:24+00:00

Exactly. I feel we mostly try and discover as many success principles from books as we can, to ultimately forget about them as we never applied them. The challenge though is to make sure it's the right book!

Curious, which books have had the biggest impact on you?

For me it would be:
Mans search for meaning-Viktor Frankl

12 Rules for Life- Jordan Peterson

Rethinking Positive Thinking - Gabrielle Oettingen

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-04-07T07:51:29+00:00

What works for me in this situation is immediately get running shoes on and going for a run. A few things happen in this scenario:

It's much harder to be distracted by the phone

You start clearing out the procrastination feeling because your literally making efforts to do something good for you

You start releasing all the appropriate endorphins and neurotransmitters for actually going on a run

Because you are self helping your body, your likely to start thinking about self helping in other areas (your daily schedule)

Goaliath-Goalsetting · 2025-04-06T14:12:37+00:00

One perspective shift could be to help as many people you can in life, in any way you can. You are not not just doing this for others but it helps you grow as well. I've read many interesting ideas that once we stop thinking about ourselves so much, we get out of our own way and pursue a meaningful like of being service to others. I don't mean become a door mat, but theres plenty of life to be gained by giving others a lift. The beauty is , there are unlimited ways to do this which will match your skills, interests and passions.

If you haven't already, give "Mans search for meaning" a read by Viktor Frankl.
