How much do you expect people to discuss... especially since some of us aren't even convinced this is your work that you wrote specifically for TL? You post five obvious ways to make your life easier and then people ask questions and you think that it's not worth discussing? Really? If you're not going to participate at all on this site other than to post your top five lists, then I think you owe it to the people here to discuss whatever they want to discuss. | ||

When someone asks a good question I will, and I've already answered one, and I will continue to do answer good questions and participate in positive discussions. I don't respond to people insulting, bitching, disagreeing, complaining or being negative. That's my policy. Now ironically you're complaining about me and i'm responding to you. Well.. consider yourself lucky this one time because normally i wouldn't respond to such a complaint. If you're not adding value to the post you are just a nuisance, and i choose not to participate to the negativity. So, I hope you understand my reasoning. If you still don't then so be it. | ||

When someone makes a good post or makes a good point in their blog's, it's generally well received. Not saying that all these people are right and that you're full of shit, but more so that it seems counter-productive to your 4th ideal of being self-aware. good luck to you. | ||

Not saying that all these people are right and that you're full of shit, but more so that it seems counter-productive to your 4th ideal of being self-aware. good luck to you. It's quite obvious to me what people think of my advice. I am well aware. Responding to criticism would not be the key to self-awareness when that criticism comes from people you don't know on the internet and a place of ill-intentions. So you are wrong in that respect. My posts are to help people who are truly seeking more knowledge. And if that leads to discussions, good. However, I have nothing to prove to anyone. You act as if im getting paid to do this, and that I need to appease everyone. If you don't like the content I write then my blog is not for you. There are plenty of other blogs for you to read. | ||

If you missed calling you have to do what you promised (i.e. you give them $50 to hold onto unless you miss a call and then it's theirs to spend or burn or whatever), and you do this every time you miss a call. generally speaking you'd need a really close/trusted friend to do this for you, because otherwise they might run off with your money... or worse, not care if you fuck up and hold you accountable for your words. one more thing to remember - don't try to change too many of your habits at once - if you just wanted to wake up earlier, don't change your diet and add exercise or vow to put in extra hours at your job or hobby, or else you might burn out and revert to old habits very easily. this was the biggest pitfall for me whenever I tried to change myself - all the sleeping habits, eating habits and working habits would go at the same time, but in the end missing one caused me to revert. you have to build these experiences and habits separately, one by one. | ||

Interesting Post. I certainly have an accountability partner on weekdays since I must get to work on time XD Exercise isn't necessary for me since once I'm up to the point where I can sit on my computer, I'm fine. It seems like the only thing that could make a difference would be to somehow establish a trigger like what you were talking about... I need to somehow convince my body that I should stop feeling tired when it's time to get up. I don't expect myself to get up the moment the alarm first goes off since that isn't even supposed to be easy. But if I set one alarm for 5:30 by my bed so that I can snooze and another on the other side of the room at 6 to ensure I get up, then the blow should be lessened ideally. Unfortunately I am still sometimes completely exhausted by the time the second alarm goes off! | ||

You didn't really answer anything. You basically just said "look at this link, I can't be bothered to give you any advice personally". That's not discussing anything. Actually the only posts you DID bother giving a decent reply to were Mora's and mine (and believe me, you have no idea how lucky I consider myself for that one time). Let's take a closer look at things. Top gamers: 37 replies, no replies from you other than OP Top animes: 102 replies, no replies from you other than OP Top graduations tips: 25 replies, no replies from you other than OP Top fat reasons: 67 replies, no replies from you other than OP Top NBA players: 13 replies, no replies from you other than OP This thread: 37 replies, 4 replies from you overall. Not very much actual "discussion" of topic Top beef up techniques: 25 replies, 1 reply from you being two sentences. Top rockers: 11 replies (so far), no replies from you other than OP So I've accounted for every single one of your posts right there. Something isn't right about this. Are you telling me that not a single post in any of those other threads was worth more than two sentences and/or a link? TL lets you post your blog here, right? So shouldn't you be interacting more with TL (by TL I mean the users of course)? Nobody expects you to reply to everybody but it gives off a horrible image if you don't reply to ANYBODY. | ||

This leads to problems getting up in the morning as you can imagine. I have two alarms on the other side of the room but sometimes sleep through both of them even though one is very loud. Even if I manage to wake up I have nausea and feel like vomiting cos I'm so exhausted and just fall asleep in class. So I struggle thorugh the week with little sleep and spend the weekend sleeeping. EDIT: Help! | ||
