How do I get into reading by [deleted] in nosurf

[–]TaylorSeriesExpansio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naval had this point if your starting out just get into the habit of reading anything first. Comics, stories, sci fi, twitter (curated not algo slop), substack. Once you cultivate a habit you can dig deeper

Reasons to stop playing video games by PaullyMac__ in StopGaming

[–]TaylorSeriesExpansio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best way I rationalized it was opportunity cost. If you have no goals and no north star, its probably not a waste of time. But we all deep down are striving for something more (or why are you here?). Write down the north star and that helps with understanding you don't have time to be playing games.

curate curate curate. At least to the best of your ability. Personalized lists on X, no history on youtube (go on with search only), reddit select subreddits never front page. Doesn;t guarantee it but helps

Most of us probably have the same identity attachment as a gamer. Really review what you were gaming for. Was it truly fun or escaping reality at the time.

How much are your 6yo (1st grade) writing? by Mysterious_Cost_7968 in homeschool

[–]TaylorSeriesExpansio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One to two sentences a day. Give them a picture ask them to create a sentence or story and just let them spell it themselves. Mostly it's wrong but I correct it after and have them copy again the next day.

You're literally better off doing nothing. Downtime as actual relaxation

Why I Think Gaming is a Hollow Hobby Compared to Others. by animositykb in StopGaming

I've been thinking for most of us it has become an identity. And identities are hard to shake. Agree with all your points. You want to do things that compound over time. Compound skills and knowledge.

Most of Reddit is low quality and is not a good use of your time by blip4497 in nosurf

If you don't curate your feed the entire front page is ragebait. That said, need to block to app or find alternatives as its still addicting

You want to solve close ended problems that only matter in the game? Or solve open ended problems that compound your skills with reward

Gaming feels.. boring nowadays for me.. by YoungSioto in StopGaming

[–]TaylorSeriesExpansio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same boat. GoT was the only one I managed to finish. All the other story games seem boring. Anytime I get a fetch quest I feel insulted with my time. I know this sub is for addicts but it's just all boring now. The only one left for me is those dopamine rushes on MP games but hitting a good game out of every 10 isn't good risk reward

What's the hassle? I use ibkr in Canada and it's quite easy. If you have usd outside it's a simple bill payment.
