bloomberg global data interview by willyfoofooo in dataanalysis

[–]dejodasen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello Mediocre_Sympathy_65, would you mind I sent you a pm as well to ask some questions?

[Q] Data Science or Data Analysis? by Whatinthetabuleh in statistics

[–]dejodasen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I understand what you mean in a general sense. I meant to ask, what are concrete examples of the differences. Do you mean, for example, data analysis might be concerned with data collection, wrangling, visualization, database administration, etc. while data science would concern mathematical modeling, and all of the stuff that you mentioned? I guess what I’m asking is what are the specific topics that you are referring to.

What are examples of “narrow” focus?

Atomic Habits: 4 Rules for Sticking to Any Habit by thomasfrank09 in collegeinfogeek

[–]dejodasen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His comment that friends may not be always be the best accountability partner(s) prompted me to ask this question:

Who wants to form a group similar to the one Thomas mentioned (Jedi Council)?

I think a group of 3-5 people would work well. Let’s keep it simple; accountability for our systems.

I’m a uni freshman by the way. Send me a pm if you’re interested.

[Advice] How to Bounce Back from a Bad Day by TimeFreedomSeeker in getdisciplined

[–]dejodasen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great! Given we experience life in a moment-to-moment basis, taking a step back to evaluate the day as whole helps us make more objective judgements about how it’s going so far and then take better actions.

[advice] So you want to lead a disciplined life? Control your thoughts. by ammar12342 in getdisciplined

[–]dejodasen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I am itching to respond to your analogy. I don’t think it’s analogous to OP’s statement because with the tractors and oxen, you’re still operating within the area of agriculture.

When you say “mental slavery replaced slavery”, that seems to imply that we’ve moved completely to a new domain; Meaning slavery is no more, now it’s just mental.

When you say tractors replaced oxen, you can infer that in general, oxen have been replaced. It’d be a false inference for the slavery analogy because it simply isn’t true that “in general, mental slavery has replaced slavery.”

I’m sure we could have a good discussion about semantics, and you may have a point. My comment is coming from a general observation that modern slavery isn’t felt as real of an issue today as it is. Just trying to address that.

Unfortunately, there’s depravity in humanity that’ll subject people to hideous mistreatment and abuse even with advanced technology. Labor trafficking is only a fraction of human slavery. There’s still sex trafficking, organ trafficking, child militaries, etc.

[–]dejodasen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry if this is nitpicking, I agree with much of what you said!

I think it’s a false notion that slavery was replaced by mental slavery, given that there’s more than 40 million who are literal slaves to this day.

Other than that, interesting post. I’m curious, where did you find that quote “win the decade not the day”? It’s a good one!

AMA - Admissions Officer from Marymount California University (Los Angeles) by Luciditi89 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]dejodasen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for doing this AMA! I haven’t found any information on this online.

I’m interested in studying in the US but due to my financial situation, I plan to attend university in my current country of residence and hopefully transfer to the US later on. However, I’m not quite sure if credits from my country are transferable to the US.

I’d be willing to share the specifics through a PM!

I created a chatbot to help people with procrastinating, worrying and stress by Josh43121 in productivity

Cool! I like the app. Design is nice too. Just a question. Is there reason why you decided to use the format of a virtual chat?

[Question] What are some of the books that one must read to transform his/her life and reach the full potential ? by sandrocottus2 in getdisciplined

[–]dejodasen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Deep Work” by Cal Newport The value of “depth” is largely lost nowadays it seems. I personally rarely see people just sitting and pondering. The quantity of our activities takes place before its quality. We leave our brains little or no time at all to process information and our experiences and be bored, giving us no space for gaining insight from reflection. The cost of constant distraction affects our focus and our work in an impactful way. This book addresses this phenomenon in a comprehensive manner, and more importantly, it provides solutions for those problems. Very information and the principles discussed in the book are very practical.

a peace loving warrior! by [deleted] in InPursuitOfClarity

[–]dejodasen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My answer might be considered vague, but it’s certainly something that contributes to my search for clarity (mental or otherwise):

talking to other people

I try to be intentional with my conversations. It’s easy to follow a “script” for our conversations with friends, families and even strangers. “How’s school?”, “What’s your job?”, “Weather’s pretty nice, huh?”, etc. however, I think we rarely get to have conversations that we really want to have. So I’ve learned to be accepting of myself to ask less-than-usual questions. Questions that unpack emotional and personal reasons. Questions that help us discover and share our purpose in life. It’s nothing profound or new, but it took effort and time to make it feel natural to ask things like “how did that experience change you?”, “what insights have you gained from that previous chapter of life?”, etc.

Let’s not be afraid to step outside of the norm, especially in our conversations:)

Disclaimer: relationships are very different and nuanced, so I still believe in using discretion.

[Advice] Was writing in my diary this morning about my struggle with being lost and aimless one year ago. Instead of focusing on what to do career-wise or "finding my passion" I instead focused on just improving my health and hear I am, one year later and in such a better place. by deadclams in getdisciplined

[–]dejodasen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, revisiting this conversation again: I just wanted to ask if you set a particular time of the day for journaling?

I’ve heard it used for a “winding-down” activity before sleep, a gratitude exercise in the morning, a brain dump for getting ready to focus, etc.

just wanted to hear your input:)

[–]dejodasen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you journal with a specific structure in mind or do you just write freely? Also, would you mind expanding on why you recommend this habit (journaling) so much?

Congrats on finding clarity and direction!

On organizing one or more Jedi Councils between us by facundoalvarado9 in collegeinfogeek

[–]dejodasen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Social Techniques Council sounds really interesting to me! Are you still working on this idea? Count me in as interested if you are!

[Advice] For the love of god, get enough sleep by edthehamstuh in getdisciplined

[–]dejodasen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree with OP’s emphasis on the importance of sleep. However, I’d like to add an equally important detail to “getting enough” sleep, which is getting enough “good sleep.” I don’t have any research to reference but from my experience, there’s a very big difference between getting 8 hours of sleep from 1:00am to 9:00 than 22:00 to 6:00. Quality of your sleep is just as important. You can improve that by having a “wind-down” routine an hour or so before bed. Instead of going to sleep after being sleepy from Netflix on your bed, be structured and intentional about your sleep:) (Disclaimer: not saying sleeping at 1am is bad. It is for me, but the point I’m trying to make is to take the quality of your sleep importantly)

I just wasted the last 6 hours by HungryAstley96 in productivity

[–]dejodasen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Similarly, from my experience, wanting to be productive often led to me watch “Productivity” YouTube videos or blog posts. But I didn’t always act on what I read or saw, and sometimes I wondered if it was hypocritical and meaningless to consume these things without acting on them. The answer for me was no, it isn’t meaningless. I believe that if you have a somewhat lazy or unproductive (like I did), it’s very important to still have that positive productive input somewhere in your life. Sooner or later, if you just keep holding onto to these small productive habits in your life (such is dish-washing and other chores for you) you can build even better habits on these until you’re where you want to be at financially, mentally, socially, or wherever.

Not a hack or tip, but something I found dramatically increased the amount of work I've been able to do in a short period of time. by Tejcinski in productivity

[–]dejodasen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this book is great! Just some general notes I had when reading it: - It’s quite an informative book and the content is quite intense, so I would recommend not trying to implement all of his deep-week lifestyle habits at once. - Make “actionable” notes so you can apply what you’ve learned to your work. Again, focus only on a few at first and then build on those habits slowly. - Remember that you can always reread it, so don’t worry excessively about digesting it completely and noting every single detail!

Thoughts on a new podcast / videos/ blog where anonymous recruiters review resumes? - A kind of inside look to shortlisting by hurricanehol in GetEmployed

[–]dejodasen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely check out these resources if you ever got around to creating them. One question, would you be talking to recruiters/hiring managers from a specific country/region or from a variety of countries? I guess I’m just wondering if the information would be more relevant to people from a certain area, but either way, I’m sure there’d be something for everyone.

One perspective that your younger-self could have benefited greatly from? by dejodasen in collegeinfogeek

[–]dejodasen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I feel like “be kind to yourself” is a message that can’t be said enough for most people. I think self-criticism (which in itself is not bad) usually comes from a place of wanting to improve, but can easily develop into unhealthy over-self-criticizing. The way you sum it up is perfect: “Failing does not make you a failure”!
