A very useful site. readlists.com/ You can compile lists of articles and share them with your friends or convert them to epub/mobi. I used them on sequences I wanted to read or share.

Interesting discussion on philosophical methodology and intuitions in a recent book. http://ndpr.nd.edu/news/39362-philosophy-without-intuitions/
I think the A theory of time is effectively disproved by relativity.
By the way, for those who do not know, these are actually called "the A theory of time" and "the B theory of time"
I don't think its been disproven. See <a href=http://philpapers.org/rec/ZIMPAT">here</a> for how A-theory can fit in with relativity.

What do you guys think about memory palaces? http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Memory-Palace I heard of it in Sherlock.
I also have a low processing speed relative to other mental abilities.
When reading this, I ask myself whether processing speed has something to do with akrasia.
How would you label your level of akrasia relative to other people?
IDK really. I do procrastinate more than I should.
There's some preliminary evidence that action video games could increase general processing speed, though the results have also been disputed.
This may be just me, but "processing speed" sounds terribly ambiguous. What kind of tests was this "measure" based on? This would help narrow down the area of functioning that needs work.
I think it was this

I went to my university psych center to get evaluated . Everything is pretty good , except my processing speed was below average. Since there are guys who know a lot about cognitive science here , is there a way to improve or at least ameliorate that? Any links to stuff would be appreciated.

Where could one find many, many past exam papers for university undergraduate courses? I find attempting them under exam conditions the ideal way of preparing for exams, and really excellent at pointing out where there are gaps in my knowledge and I need to revise. I'm particularly interested in psychology exam papers.
Depends on your uni. Ask your classmates. That's what I did.

An interesting article on "precrastination". Basically some people spend more time and effort doing things , when it would be more efficient to complete them later. Also this writer reads lesswrong and refers to one of the posts on akrasia in his other articles
