[Meta]

This thread is a great idea. But with all these repositories we almost need a repository repository. Or a book summarising all of the stuff on this site. It is starting to be too much.

The Repository Repository.

I share the concern about navigation and size, although lesswrong is far more legible than most long-running blogs, forums, and community projects of a similar size.

Since this is the Meta comment:

Brainstorming topics (in very loose order of this-is-interesting and hasnt-been-talked-about-too-much)

  • Commuting/Transportation
  • Chores/Household tasks/Cleaning
  • Personal Appearance/Hygiene/Fashion
  • Cooking and food (health, taste, time, money, social aspects)
  • Parenting/Understanding and interacting with children
  • Family relationships
  • Non-Romantic Relationships
  • Nuts-and-bolts of traditional employment (e.g. finding work, interviewing, bosses and coworkers, workspaces)
  • Use of mobile devices, normal computers, internet
  • Information diets (finding information, filtering information)
  • Stress/Mental health
  • Finding and doing music, art, cultural events
  • Tourism/How to visit places/Long-distance travel.
  • Formal education topics?
  • Dating/Romantic Relationships
  • Exercise/Posture/Physical injuries
  • Studying/Learning/Reading
  • Productivity, organization

I take the above to be the Meta Comment.

I think this is thread is a good idea. Thoughts:

  • Maybe you could bring it into a more general form. With tags, standard comments, a template. Then other people can suggest further topics without fearing interference with your schedule.

  • Sleep is possibly not the best starter as I think this has been discussed a lot. I would have liked commuting more. Other ideas for next topics could be people skills, daily chores, dating, reading techniques, parenting, programming.

  • A comment (possibly with a poll) about the next topics might be a good idea.

What would "standard comments, a template" mean?

I like your list of ideas. I think commuting/travel/transportation would be good next. I suspect that programming is too niche.

Have a look at the thread listed in http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Special_threads

Most have a 'rules' section and follow some common format.
