I read that comment, and use it similarly, as more a super-dictionary/encyclopedia in the same way I’d watch supplementary YouTube videos to enhance my understanding. Rather than automating the understanding process.
More like having a tutor who you ask all the too-stupid and too-hard questions to, who never gets tired or fed up with you.
I thought the headline said they were linked. My first reaction (which surprised me) was “oh well, not much to be done about that then eh”. Glad I re-read it 😅
Even clicking the refresh button on boost doesn’t change the image, it’s still the crewcut one now.
I’ve started using a stopwatch, and my aim is not to complete the task, but just to spend time on that task and nothing else. This does 2 things: 1) just the fact I’m on the tasks moved me forward more than not being on the task. 2) as its counts up, not down, I am just interested in increasing the number, so every 30 seconds or minute or 10 extra that I do makes the number bigger and the dopamine higher.
I combine this with a habit tracker (literally called habits on android store) so I can try and beat my last high score etc.
I don’t set myself any targets etc that would cause me to feel shame (and then procrastinate due to that shame), so it lowers the barrier of startinf sufficiently low so that I can get on. And then the flow starts to kick in and we’re off…
I wonder if that doesn’t work because it’s not about them knowing that we like them, but about us doing or being things they like. It just comes off too strong or too soon.
Wait what? That works??
