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
Gabby Reece: Practice “going first”
“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole. (from TV series Justified)” I’ve already tested the advice by Gabby Reece in my previous post – she recommended that we should look at “sacrifice” in a more personalized way to … Continue reading
When the little thing could be the big thing
Last week’s experiment was about keeping in mind that “Weight of the sacrifice is based on the individual.” It’s definitely advice from “Hell yeah!” category, even though it triggered cognitive dissonance (because it reminded me too much of labor theory of value – see below).

January seems to have … Continue reading
Tony Robbins: Priming the mind to kick ass
Happy arbitrary period called “year 2018”! 🙂 I wish you lots of health, great relationships and interesting experiences. Learn, experiment, do more of things you enjoy and occasionally do things that scare you or feel uncomfortable – that’s how we grow. And of course spend ample time with those you love and respect and want … Continue reading

Of course you can’t, you know what would 10-year-older version of yourself would tell you. Because you can’t really see into the future. So what is the point of that question? What you get … Continue reading
