In case you were wondering whether the Titan Experiment project died off, you are right. Kind off. Not completely. I still do experiments, from Tools of Titans book, from other recommendations by guests on Tim Ferriss Show, and many others. The truth is that 2 of my largest experiments of this year took so much … Continue reading

Max Richter’s “From Sleep” – better than your mom’s lullaby
My closest family was visiting for 2 weeks of February and I wanted to focus my full attention to being with them and making sure we all enjoy ourselves, so I didn’t have time or space to do any sophisticated experiments. During that time I slept (on a borrowed airbed) in the living room where … Continue reading
Going first – for better or meh
If you like to be alone from time to time, know that you are not alone. This experiment was about “practicing going first” – smiling first, greeting first, communicating first. It should be great, right? Well no. My feelings are mixed at best. It turns out it’s not an easy thing to do in Singapore, … Continue reading

Summary: I learned two things from this experiment: I see … Continue reading

The piece I like the most was: Weight of the sacrifice* is based on the individual. *I don’t like the word … Continue reading

Quick summary is: Yes (cold shower and gratitude); Meh/so-so (breath and feeling God); Hell yes! (one golden nugget in the last part). But let’s go one by one (or feel free to skip to main … Continue reading
Best and most helpful experiments in 2017
Even though I acknowledge that “end of year” is just an arbitrary date, I take January as a good time to look back and ponder over what activities/relationships/methods had the best return on investment and I should invest even more this year, and what are those that I should cut back. January seems to have … Continue reading
