So, three useful things per day, each of which has >50% probability of "enriching life in a significant way"...
That's about a thousand useful things in a year. Taking the expectation, you think that in a year >500 pieces of knowledge will each enrich your life significantly. That seems an awfully big number to me. Either that or there's a lot of low-hanging fruit in your life :-/
Oh, and I would advise against the pep-rally style of posting. It will get you significant pushback.
If a post both motivates and communicates useful information, that seems better than solely conveying information.
Yes, but does the pep-rally style in fact motivate?
The post motivated me to just give up and drink beer while playing World of Warcraft.
The pep-rally style motivates a lot of people to turn away in disgust. Or to start throwing heavy objects.
