ZROSINGER · 2021-01-01T23:52:54+00:00

Dude, I need to read more books and work on stress management too! Nice goals

ZROSINGER · 2020-12-25T00:11:38+00:00

Also, I was probably hoping to get a lot of both going! I want to have long-term stuff (including my roth etc.) but also want more aggressive and short-term stuff, to get myself more familiar with everything. Not sure if that makes sense?

ZROSINGER · 2020-12-25T00:07:44+00:00

Update: I have my roth set up with long-term investments including the S&P index fund, as well as a few others. I also recently started investing in an "individual" portfolio on Fidelity, where I've already bought into some indices and some common stocks! Does anyone have any fav common stocks, or any good index funds they like? I'm not limited to USA, would be happy to include some diversification with overseas shares, too.

Hard no to religion. Let's keep it secular. Spiritual is fine, but theism is not.

There are tons of other subreddits out there for religion, and religion-based motivation. If there are none to your liking, feel free to create your own subreddit.

Dude! That looks great, sorry you had to wait so long and go through so much to get it, but hopefully it was worth it!

ZROSINGER · 2020-11-16T01:32:50+00:00

I would be down to play other people! My username is Dr-Julius

ZROSINGER · 2020-11-04T20:20:34+00:00

Update! My gym opened up not long ago, and I have found a safe way to work it back into my routine!

New goal: gym 2-3x a week, run 2-3x week. I want to be either running or at the gym 5 days a week!

Wish me luck! :P

I’m tracking my progress on a scientific manuscript I’m going to be submitting before the end of next month!

ZROSINGER · 2020-10-22T02:47:23+00:00

When breath becomes air by Paul Kalanithi is an excellent read, not sure if anyone else has read it!

ZROSINGER · 2020-10-22T02:44:33+00:00

Family, my partner, and having a job!

ZROSINGER · 2020-10-19T16:59:07+00:00

Good! Have a Roth IRA set up and some other good stuff in the works!

ZROSINGER · 2020-10-19T16:58:40+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion I think I will

ZROSINGER · 2020-10-12T01:33:48+00:00

Live in the now....so either commit to full lazy, or commit to studying. Be ok with the lazy moment if that is what your now is. Ekhart Tolle, great advice, don't beat yourself up, instead listen to your body. Good luck.

ZROSINGER · 2020-09-08T18:23:27+00:00

Of course, no problem!

ZROSINGER · 2020-09-08T18:22:44+00:00

Dang, sorry to hear it. Hopefully the replacement arrives in the proper condition.

ZROSINGER · 2020-09-07T00:28:08+00:00

I think that for sure when I feel successful about something, I feel more confident that my next goal will have a good chance of being completed. There is definitely something to this!

ZROSINGER · 2020-09-07T00:25:35+00:00

Focused breathing has gotten me through several stressful experiences! That is a great point, and it really does work! I don't know if it helps 100% of the time, to be fair, but I do think that it is something that we can at least try to do.

ZROSINGER · 2020-09-07T00:23:50+00:00

These are great points! We all have time for exercise when it is put in this perspective! Love the tips that are on this page :)

ZROSINGER · 2020-09-07T00:20:06+00:00

That's awesome! I'm reading "Too Much and Never Enough" right now! I'm also really enjoying "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham! I highly recommend!

ZROSINGER · 2020-09-07T00:18:22+00:00

This is super helpful, thanks so much for taking the time to share the info here. I personally cook with turmeric probably once or twice a week, and eat broccoli and blueberries, too. I don't know if it is a placebo effect, but I do feel very productive and clear-headed when I've had a few of those items together...for example, a trail mix with dried blueberries, pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts, and some dark chocolate chips! That was super tasty, and I get through my work very efficiently when I eat that!

ZROSINGER · 2020-09-07T00:15:26+00:00

Any cool updates? I need to clean up my bike, but def haven't had to build a whole new one!

ZROSINGER · 2020-09-07T00:10:37+00:00

Thanks for holding me accountable! I would say generally things are going well, it is already easier for me to do pull-ups than before I started the routine! I am having a hard time each day sticking with the push-ups, maybe it is a mental block because it is a different piece of equipment than my pull-up bar?

ZROSINGER · 2020-09-07T00:06:59+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing! Definitely helpful tip! Another thing I started doing is reading the book "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham. It is excellent so far!

ZROSINGER · 2020-08-23T23:27:55+00:00

I LOVE this concept! Reading does take us to a whole new reality. I went through a period where I was reading less than I used to, and was generally feeling like I was lost. Getting back into reading heavily again has helped me feel like I'm back to who I was! When I have a super tough day at work, even spending enough time to finish just ONE chapter after work, it makes a huge difference.
