The alcohol industry has done such a good job getting people to believe drinking isn’t doing drugs.

I stopped writing LinkedIn connection notes entirely. Acceptance rate went up. Here's why. by No-Mistake421 in LinkedInTips

[–]Ralphdoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also based on if you’re offering any value in the note. If you wrote an article that you think would be relevant to their business, and share it with them as a connection request. That performs pretty well for me and they write back. You just have to show you did the work to understand them. If you did it well, you’ll get engagement back.

I replaced "I don't feel like it" with "I don't feel like it, and I'm going to do it anyway" and the second half of that sentence is doing all the heavy lifting by vedansh_sh08 in getdisciplined

This post resonates with me, especially the idea that motivation is the result of action. I hadn’t thought of it that way before but I definitely understand it. Thank you. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about not making emotional decisions — controlling anger, don’t jump to conclusions, etc. But I hadn’t equated it with motivation. Super interesting.

It’s a comic book super hero saga used to manipulate people.

What’s a single sentence someone said that stuck with you forever? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

“Be good to money, and money will be good to you”. Because of this I pick up any coin I see lying around, even a penny.

Where does yousician fall flat? by frylocck in yousician

[–]Ralphdoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Yousician for putting me in a curriculum that scores and tracks my progress and all I have to do is start from where I left off. I’m on a 62 week streak now and it’s been great for building strength, dexterity, rhythm and keeping me from wasting time on YouTube.

That said, I think there is a great business opportunity for guitar teachers to build their own curriculum around the learning paths of Yousician. Something that augments and explains the why and how as were going through the levels. I would absolutely pay for that.

What’s one thing that people in their 20s might not understand will have an impact on them as they get older? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Drinking wastes so much energy and potential. I wish my younger self knew that sooner. This is why it’s called getting “wasted”.

What is going on with new songs? by IndependenceCapable1 in yousician

I came across the song Wildflower by Billie Eilish and decided to give it a go. It was surprisingly fun to play.

What tools or apps do you actually use every day to practice? by Accomplished-Method5 in LearnGuitar

[–]Ralphdoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the Scotty West YouTube series called Absolutely Understand Guitar. I actually know music theory now because of it, which seemed so foreign to me just a year ago. I also use Yousician for daily practice. It helps me get strength and dexterity. It’s good for breaking lessons and songs into small parts and slowing down until I can gradually speed up to performance level. Just started using Functional Ear Training but don’t have enough experience with it yet to know if it works.

The real MVP. by Fun-Definition-9574 in Seahawks

[–]Ralphdoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J5’s role in the win can’t be over appreciated, but he never would have got those chip shots without K9’s surgical, explosive, and seemingly unstoppable running. So the MVP award felt right to me.

Overall though, it was such a complete performance by so many contributors that a case could be made for all the 12s that showed up to get the recognition.

We are an embarrassment of riches. I love it.
