Still using it, I wish I'd started using it 1 week earlier because from last last Wednesday I starting working on university applications on for one week from then my schedule collapsed and I'm still trying to rebuild it. At least I have data and it's made me make sure to do some things I...

How much of an impact do you think studying public speaking and speech had on your abilities? I studied a little bit of public speaking but I forgot most of it before it became useful.

I thought I sent a reply Monday but I guess not. I just looked it up and found this video and wow is the concept valuable. I'm looking forward to seeing how the before/after looks like on my grid. I usually try to check on goodreads instead of amazon, I find goodreads a bit more accurate.

With texting and the asynchronity, the extra time to process is both a blessing and a curse. For a discussion about some topic of interest that is not important (or more like, if one of us is wrong or right it won't effect either of us much) the extra time can help me think out logic. But for...

I have friends I've talked to for close to days worth of time in voice and text chats in groups but 1 on 1 I can't talk to them at all or keep a conversation going. I have another friend I can talk with for ages when I meet him but when we talk 1 on 1 over text it's a bit more difficult to keep...

I've been trying to understand that image briefly every day for the last 3 days but I'm still confused, I'm gonna go through this summary with IR

I think I've been getting a bit of impostor's syndrome because of that, I've had a great experience using it but it's hard to think I'm really learning all that much when there are so many people that get by without it

It's going kind of well so far, it made me make sure to finish chores I normally wouldn't (folding all my clothes and washing all dishes) as well as making me remember to do certain things I would normally forget, like using the journal. I think what will make this go much better than previous...

makes sense, I'll post periodically here but I have some IRL friends too that I think I could ask to show my grid periodically. I'm not a student (yet), since graduating in 2017 I've been on a long gap year. I wasted most of the first year and a half but ever since I started studying 2 or 3...

Just posted on the grid thread, after 2 weeks I'll post another image as a followup. Could you post one too to see how yours is doing now? Whenever I do use Supermemo, I tend to use it a lot but I'm still having trouble sticking to a schedule and consistently getting 3+ hours done with it...

My grid:

This reminds me of this article and the section on learn drive and entropy. To derive pleasure from learning, your brain wants something novel but not too novel that you can't understand it. If there's not enough novelty, it's not pleasurable, it's just boring. For relationships, you want enough...

Started on it, yeah it is more flexible and easier to use than an app.

Read the first 2, downloaded the 3rd, it's almost 2 am now so I can't do it now but tomorrow I'll start on making my own grid. I did have an app on my iphone for habit tracking but when things got bad and some tasks I consistently had misses on, I couldn't keep up I just stopped checking. Giving...

I learned and have been reading a little bit about mental models and one that's been sticking with me is entropy. The main takeaway can be summarized with this excerpt: "Entropy will always increase on its own. The only way to make things orderly again is to add energy. Order requires effort. "...

It's not really to my taste either unfortunately, Korean sidedishes are generally really good + healthy but hard to get when you don't cook

My staple diet alternative to salad would be rice + seaweed and generally tofu. Even with something like fruit in it, I usually just force myself through the greens. Sometimes it's not too bad with the right sauce but it's never my first choice. Is salad really that healthy a choice? Avocado...

Thanks Bee I don't think what you said is incompatible with input hypothesis because input hypothesis states that the only way to advance linguistic competence is through comprehensible input. Which sort of makes sense, you aren't going to get better in terms of vocab or what grammar you use...

I think for anything involving typing you can't just think it out because the muscle memory you build from doing it physically is really valuable

I have not heard of these steps before, do you have a link to more info? The approach you'd take to learning based on input hypothesis would I think be to receive a lot of comprehensible input and to slowly provide slightly higher level input over time. For vocab, I think the benefit this would...
