This is the public group instrumental rationality diary for July 1-15.
It's a place to record and chat about it if you have done, or are actively doing, things like:
Established a useful new habit
Obtained new evidence that made you change your mind about some belief
Decided to behave in a different way in some set of situations
Optimized some part of a common routine or cached behavior
Consciously changed your emotions or affect with respect to something
Consciously pursued new valuable information about something that could make a big difference in your life
Learned something new about your beliefs, behavior, or life that surprised you
Tried doing any of the above and failed
Or anything else interesting which you want to share, so that other people can think about it, and perhaps be inspired to take action themselves. Try to include enough details so that everyone can use each other's experiences to learn about what tends to work out, and what doesn't tend to work out.

I'm moving. I notice I am being very uncurious about what my other options are besides following my parents to their new house. Still haven't mustered up the motivation to explore those, ho hum.
I have quit reading through this psychology textbook I have. Mostly because it's been packed into a box, and I don't feel like ruffling through the box to get it back out. Examining my feelings, it's also partially because I think I'm being more meticulously thorough going through an old textbook than I should be. I'll reconsider the habit once I'm moved into the new house.
Two of my coursera courses are close to being finished. I already started a new MOOC on medical statistics. I like learning, but I am dreading school. I've consistently gone into breakdown about a semester into school, for multiple colleges and some of high school.
I FINALLY started murphy-proofing my habit system. About time, I've been saying I would on here for weeks.
Now writing down accomplishments daily, since I dropped the daily gratitude writing a while back. I like it.
Also, I got my hands on some noopept. Trying out 10 mg approximately daily, sometimes twice.
I'm sporadically taking melatonin as well, it shaves off some time spent sleeping and gives me really interesting dreams.
