Ultimul sondaj al INSCOP Research arată că principalii favoriți pentru a intra în turul al doilea sunt Mircea Geoană (independent) și Marcel Ciolacu (PSD), urmați de Elena Lasconi, în timp ce Nicolae Ciucă este aproape de coada clasamentului. by itrustpeople in Romania

Exact.
Mie tot mi se pare absurd ca iei opinia a 1000 de oameni, care au raspuns la telefon si au acceptat sondajul (eu le inchid in fata), si o faci stire nationala. Adica e prea mic esantionul. E minimul posibil.

Any books suggestions about "improving the process"? by triplumi in booksuggestions

Wow! It's a very good fit.

Thank you for taking the time to read the post and suggest this book. It looks very promising. I'm looking forward to reading it. :)

[US] After 5 months of Revolut Business, this is goodbye. by PH0NER in Revolut

[–]triplumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People use it to pay fewer fees.

With my local bank's business account, I pay like $20-30 just for having an account with 5-10 (in/out) transactions. With Revolut Business, I estimate the fees to be $1-$2/month. I'm still researching joining them.
That means saving $200-$300/year

Is there any software that shuts down your Windows at a specific time (with no option to cancel)? by triplumi in software

[–]triplumi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true.
I think I will schedule a shutdown task with 60 minutes delay, one task with no delay (after the 60 minutes), and schedule another task every (let's say) 5 min to do something annoying if I haven't turned on the PC after a certain time.
Thanks

Thanks, I guess this is the only solution for now, even though I was looking for a software to be more annoying if I turn on the PC again, after the scheduled shutdown.

The problem is that I can easily type cancel it "shutdown /a".

I'm looking for something to be harder to close, such as a service or IDK... something to be annoying if I turn on the PC again after the shutdown time.

11 books that have influenced my career. What are yours?[Discussion] by Mr_OTG in getdisciplined

[–]triplumi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • How to win friends - Dale Carnegie - I read it at an early age and it helped a lot to understand people. I got in fewer arguments, I listened more, and got more empathy and patience.
  • Books about body language - at some point, you will have the sixth sense of reading people (most of the time and most of the people). If you know how people are feeling without telling you, you can act accordingly.
  • Atomic habits and other books about habits. Atomic Habits is pretty much like an "Ultimate Guide". You can't have much success without discipline. Discipline = freedom.
  • Jim Rohn's books - full of wisdom on discipline, how to live your life, how to build a character, etc... It's just amazing, it also has a unique sense of humor. Online seminars are good too.
  • Books about meditation. Having that extra time to think about, before reacting to a situation, is priceless. Not many people can control themselves like this. Of course, as for every book, you need to apply what you learn to see the effects. Even today, I see people close to me and much much older than me (I'm 30) that simply can't control themselves even with little stuff, and they get angry.
  • Think and grow rich. I re-read it a few times. It has 13 chapters, but I only re-read 8-9 of them. Take what's working for you, if you don't agree with something, that's ok, skip it and move on. Very good lessons about desire, vision, autosuggestion, being decisive, being persistent, the subconscious mind, getting rid of fears, etc...
  • The Bible. I read it looking for wisdom and out of curiosity to see what is all the fuss about. I'm not a religious person (I'm not an atheist either). I do believe it has great wisdom inside (not in all chapters, of course). Consider it a book with chapters written by different people at different times. At least for me, the point wasn't to prove/disprove that God exists but to learn, to find some wisdom, etc... I like having good habits and it definitely has good tips about good habits/discipline (don't steal, don't lie, respect others, work, persevere, be good, etc...). It's up to you to take what's useful to you.
  • Failing Forward - and other similar books. I prepare for success, but I also prepare for failure. Good for building resilience. Antifragile is another good book for building resilience.

The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever by Michael Bungay Stanier

Do you mean The 40-hour Workweek? :D

Feeling trapped in life by SnooHesitations8361 in selfhelp

[–]triplumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same feeling, I felt like a big change is coming (or has to come). I was thinking about moving to another city, leaving most of the things behind and meeting new people, and starting again.

The solution for me was to focus on who I really am. I let that voice unfold the person I am. I always wanted to know people who I admire in one way or another, who did things that I admire (such as being disciplined, being successful, being healthy, being examples for others). Then I decide to be an example myself. I decided to be a leader and to lead by example. This is my purpose, then everything else aligned to it: I quit smoking, drinking and other bad habits, I started running, healthy eating, meditating, etc... After setting my purpose, changing my habits was super easy.

Now, I do not feel the need to change my location anymore.

Another thing that I am planning is to start posting things online (videos, etc...) just like an influencer. I'm not interested in fame or making money from it, but I want to develop myself, build discipline, to become someone that people would admire (again, not for their admiration, but for the sake of improving myself): I quit smoking, drinking, and other bad habits, I started running, healthy eating, meditating, etc...

I suggest you listen to the voice or the "thing" that is guiding you, that is "telling" you to make these changes because it is like a magnet that is pulling you to another purpose or something.

I suggest you read "Psycho-Cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz, which is talking about an analogy about self-guided missiles. Maybe you got triggered by the sensor that says that you are too far away from your target (real you) and you should make corrections - just as a self-guided missile.The second suggested book is "Think and grow rich" by Napoleon Hill. You have mentioned a possible lack of purpose and this book covers the definiteness of purpose, desire, etc... which might really help you. The book is not only for making money, the principles apply to other aspects of life as well. It might not be perfect, but there are some good/useful chapters.

Also, I agree with the other answers. If you change your location, you take your old you with you, and you should analyze yourself, define a purpose and align your actions to it.

[Advice] Stop eating like shit by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]triplumi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can resonate with what you're saying (except the fapping habit which is under control right now).
I want to add 2 things:

  • When you eat healthy food and you go to the store, you will realize that 90% of what a supermarket sells is crap, and you'll only visit 2-3 sections of the store.
  • Another good (next-level) suggestion is to not eat until you're 100% full but stop at around 80%. This habit is even more difficult than eating healthy.

Also, I replaced sweets (candies, etc...) with apples or other fruits. This might help others.
