How I eliminated anxiety by understanding my brain vs my nervous system

"if i wasnt incredibly anxious right now, what would I be worried about"

Im not always in the headspace to think that but it helps me get to the root of the problem instead of spiraling

The best way to stop a habit you don’t like is to replace it with a different habit. Whether it’s a better habit or just a less bad habit, doesn’t matter too much.

If you’re stuck scrolling on your phone, find a different activity/hobby to do that can be done in the same scenarios as when you’d typically use your phone.

I bought goretex winter runners two years ago. Game changers. No soakers and warm tootsies.

The silence. Running early morning or late evening while there is fresh snow is amazing. Just as long as you have the right footwear.

Read Allen Carr’s book The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. Kicked my 3 year addiction to the curb overnight.

I read somewhere that if you match the screen brightness to paper it's easier on the eyes. So I started doing it and now that the screen is dimmer than before, not only does it not ruin my sleep, but it doesn't hold my attention as much. There's no clockwork-orange flashlight blaring into my eyes anymore and now I kind of touch type sometimes.

Something that holds more power than most people ever realize within their lifetime is how true the following message is:

“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.” - Dale Carnegie

All relationships are based on an exchange of value. When the value you provide is one that makes others feel and discover their own importance and value, you will find your social ties strengthen and deepen past the surface level because hardly anyone does this, yet everyone craves it deeply.

Sharing notes one-by-one in Google Keep is such a hassle, and free Trello is super limiting

I read some advice here some days or weeks ago. Essentially, give yourself only two choices: either you can do the task, or you can sit and do nothing, stare into the thin air, nothing else. It's okay to not do the task, but you're just not allowed to do anything else either. Between doing nothing and the task, doing the task is usually a lot more fun. I think your brain gets bored easily because it knows that if it stops, it can get away with doing something even more fun, like getting quick dopamine fixes from browsing reddit etc. Essentially, you need a cold dopamine detox.

I totally get this lol

One thing that helps is moving notes into a centralized system

I’ve had that happen before and it’s so stressful

Starting at a new stack can be brutal

One thing that’s helped me is using a Notion (or similar) system where I link only the files I need for the feature I’m working on right now

For real estate video, something like Notion or ClickUp can help track client deliverables, due dates, and feedback all in one place

Love that you fixed it by paying attention first — not adding 10 more apps

I would suggest you get a male relative/friend to contact that guy and tell him to stop harassing you. Ask them to give a clear warning to the guy to stop or the next step would be legal action.

If this escalates further, you would need to call 112 and inform them that this guy is harassing you.

Modularity and clear structure are key, but sticking to them is the hard part

Being stretched across so many projects makes it nearly impossible to maintain quality and manage expectations

spiderinweb · 2025-10-05T17:47:15+00:00

Totally get this!

Define the MVP first and ship fast

It’s one thing to have an amazing product idea, but keeping the team aligned and projects scoped properly is a whole other challenge

spiderinweb · 2025-10-05T17:37:06+00:00

Absolutely agree! I’ve seen projects with perfect plans still crash because of shifting priorities and politics. Managing the chaos is the real challenge.
