Since I began working out a month and a half or so ago, I've managed to successfully to go the gym every other day, the exceptions being when I hung out with friends and either got too high to go or ended up spending the night at someone's house. The important thing being that at no point did I not go simply because of lack of willpower.
I also finally learned how to lucid dream in the last month and I've had seven or so (short) lucid dreams.
I like this thread idea. I think that bragging about charitable donations should be especially encouraged.
Personal health habits, I like it.
I love my early morning lucid dreaming myself. I still need to work out the kinks in really controlling them, but even so, they're pretty enjoyable.
As for charity, it should ABSOLUTELY be encouraged. It's a less visceral awesome, of course, but I think we can all shut up and multiply if need be.
In an attempt to encourage more people to actually do awesome things (a la instrumental rationality), I am proposing a new monthly thread (can be changed to bi-weekly, should that be demanded). Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to comment on this thread explaining the most awesome thing you've done this month. You may be as blatantly proud of you self as you feel. You may unabashedly consider yourself the coolest freaking person ever because of that awesome thing you're dying to tell everyone about. This is the place to do just that.
Remember, however, that this isn't any kind of progress thread. Nor is it any kind of proposal thread.This thread is solely for people to talk about the awesomest thing they've done all month. not will do. not are working on. have already done. This is to cultivate an environment of object level productivity rather than meta-productivity methods.
So, what's the coolest thing you've done this month?
