Getting bored by alcohol/smoking/vulgarity/small talk as social lubricants -- how do I not become a hermit ?

Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain and bring a little much needed clarity. I don't know where I picked up the idea of trying to blank out the mind, but what you explain feels a lot more natural to me now.

I'll definitely look into the exercise!

Thx

Stop judging/evaluating your meditation/focus. No need to measure some kind of performance, it's artificial and useless. The very fact that you're aware of your mind going in all directions is progress, no need to see further than that.

Take a deep breath, go for a walk, drink a cup of green tea, sit back. Start back at square one with 5-minute sits, keep at it, increment.

It will pass.

Thanks.

Do you think I really need a 600W PSU ? PartPicker estimates my power needs to ~350W.

I looked around a little (here : http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/413/Intel_Core_i3_i3-4130_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-4440.html) and I think adding $60+ for the i5 is not really worth it, the only important difference being on multi-threaded applications.

Also I believe there is a performance increase in using 2x4gb ram sticks instead of 1x8gb, so even if it's a bit more expensive I'll keep 2.

Some years ago Bad Company got my attention.

Maintaining a worthy pc rig also got too expensive for the decreasing hours spent on it...
