I’ve finished working though a book on proofs with the help of a fellow LWer (previously) and I’m now trying to work on learning measure theoretic probability theory.
I’ve been putting in more effort at work recently. I’ve been trying Pomodoros again with more success this time. I’ve been playing the game Angry Birds during my breaks in an effort to get some kind of reinforcement learning going on. It does seem to actually get me to do Pomodoros at least, but I don’t know if it’s done more than that (not that that’s trivial).
I’m learning how to dress better. Despite lukeprog’s reservations (his impression was that it was hit and miss advice), I’ve found reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice pretty useful. They give pretty conservative advice and, of course, since it’s community run there will be some things which are simply wrong, but they have lots of advice which does seem good (particularly in the sidebar). I suspect I’ve become slightly too interested in this topic; once I decided it was important, I’ve found it pretty rewarding to work on. I haven’t actually done anything to reduce my interest in it.
