When you look around, you are looking at a series of decisions that you have made over the course of your life. Do you like what you see? The place that you live, the car that you drive, your physical appearance, how much money you have in your account; they all are a direct tie to the decisions you have made...

Coconut oil is a God given spectacular use case for numerous things. You can use it to cook (don’t believe the talk of how it’s ‘bad’ for you), you can use it on your body, hell, you can use it as sexual lubricant. However, the greatest place I have found the uses of coconut oil are in the bathroom for grooming...

After posting my setup to r/unixporn I received many questions about my system, why I do things certain ways, and what programs I use to achieve a “Tranquil” computing environment Questions such as: “Why do you use that program or this program?” “Why do you use Linux?” “How do you actually get work done on that...

So you want to get more done? It seems that every single life hack blog post in the last decade has fetishised this. So, naturally, I am going to tell you the truth - Cold showers do boost your testosterone and will make you a million dollars. Now that that’s out of the way, I’m going to change your life today by...

There is a baseline that you should strive for. An everyday, non-negotiable, automatically programmed baseline. It should look something like this: Get sweat coming out of your pores. Eat nothing that your ancestors would not eat. Get cold water on you. Feel the dread, the flinch - and do it anyway. Spend time...

Let it be known that forever forward on this timeline, I AM reborn in the image of Christ. I AM reborn in the image of the one True God. I AM Joshua. Held in the highest regard of what I AM. A reverence of self and all. I have found bliss in everyday life. When you find bliss in even the most mundane you will find...

If you know me, you know that I refuse to gossip. It is something that about ten years ago was one of the things that I decided did not have a place in my life anymore. I felt that if I was talking about other people, I was wasting exceptionally valuable time that I could be working on myself and the future which I...

Here’s a crazy productivity hack for you: When you are working, listen to music that you used to play video games to as a kid. You will automatically be immersed in the work to the nth degree. For me, this is a few select video games such as Halo, Age of Empires, and Runescape soundtracks. I have boosted my focus...

If you’ve played video games before you know about render distance: where your character is in one part of the world, but in order to save on compute, the rest of the world is not rendered, it may be in shadow, in fog, or whatever the developers have chosen for the particular game. Likewise, in life your perception...

This is going to sound so simple that most of you will discount it entirely: I only allow myself to drink coffee when I am at my desk or in front of a keyboard doing creative, needle moving work. Crazy, I know. But the thing is that the context surrounding a cup of coffee now Pavlov’s me into writing, coding, and...

All Change is Immediate. It comes with a decision. The heroin addict doesn’t ‘gradually change’ - he ceases his use of heroin in an instant. The business owner does not go from failure to success over time, it is in an instant decision that takes him from floundering to ‘overnight’ success. The disservice to...

To have unquestioning resolve in that thought, taking it first from a thought, to believing in the thought, and finally crystallizing it to Knowledge. Gnosis. For some...
