This is the public group rationality diary for February, 2017. 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.
(Note: Seems like we didn't have Group Rationality Diary for a few months, so feel free to write about things that happened in the previous months, too.)
(I think it is going to be useful, but I don't know yet.) I have a problem: lack of body mass, no set lunch break at work and things to do besides dinner that is yet to be made when I get home, which is about 7 pm. It's especially bad during "The Season" (middle August - middle October), the time when many people come to us to buy textbooks and we have time to maybe drink a cup of tea, if we remember to do it during a lull. Sometimes, I even took something with me and just forgot to take it out. Then we get home, eat whatever and go to sleep.
Recently, The Season ended & I tried eating just before I leave for home, so that when I do get home I have time to cook something that doesn't take much time, and/or uses ingredients from yesterday. Unfortunately, if I cook larger portions, we lose the food in the fridge. Now crossing fingers to keep this up.
