Did my best to get Cat to come to Vienna. Applied for C-FAR minicamp. Publicly precommited to doing 4 papers or wouldn't go out on weekend. Have started using music when doing non-important work (raises happiness, minimal work impact). Started using rewards to make myself do work (after a bout of work watch a short tv series or something).
This is the public group instrumental rationality diary for May 16-31.
Thanks to cata for starting the Group Rationality Diary posts, and to commenters for participating!
Next diary: June 1-30
