i think it will definitely have an advantage(and maybe save some time) if you will use it for a long time maybe have a notebook only for actualized notes to keep it organize

maybe you could just find a room completly isolated from distractions (where there is basicly nothing but you in the room) i am not an expert but i think it might give the same effect if you stay there long enough kind regards

I think it's completely fine it's never too late to begin learning new things

From what i have read you aren't born with a life purpose but it is something you create and work on(from so good they can't ignore you by cal newport) so i am sure every one have a life purpose

hi when there is something you want to improve on in personal development how long does it approximately/usually take until you feel like you have made the progress you wanted to make? kind regards

But i am not talking about how to make faster progress but how much time it usually take for other people to make the progress they wanted to make because i think it could maybe give a better idea of how long i should expect it would take when i would make my own progress i know it's probably different deepening on your effort and what you are working on but it still nice to know what to expect

i agree it can really help to give you a more clear view or a better Understanding about yourself and about the situation you may find yourself in kind regards

what life have thought me is that you eventual have to bite the bullet(aka do the emotional hard thing) if you want to make progress

an other really good book by cal newport i think this is a really good book if you are trying to find your passion he gives a lot of good clear examples of why some things work better than other things and what some of the traps are i highly recommend reading it kind regards

if you are interested in how to become really good at something i highly recommend this book it gives a lot of good information on what the process(or just a process) is to become really good at something and how to create impact in the world it also have a lot of good information on how to get your focus back in a distracted world probably one of the greatest book i have read my self so far kind regards

i am from Denemark

at the moment the thing i find help full is to just sit in a quite isolated room for sometime (maybe just 10 minuts) and do nothing except focusing on my breathing and trying to find some form of inner peace

hi if you haven't already seen this i think this video might be usefull kind regards

not really sure if this have been posted here before but i really like this quote it's a nice reminder

Really doubt it's an alien if it looks anything similar to human biologi

if you know what deep work is what is your opinion on it? and is it something you plan to do if you haven't already? kind regards

Hey have anyone tryed to go out of ones comefort zone maybe not to the edge but just a little outside of it and as a habbit?(doing it everyday) (a little similar like explained in this video) i am considering to do this my self and i have tryed it the last few days and i feel like i have made a few improvements. i think the advantages of making this as a habbit just do one thing that is outside of your comfort zone everyday over a long period of time(maybe like a year for example) could maybe get you very far(one example you could be doing is for example one of the things leo recommends in hes video like taking 100% responsibility or being radical honest) have anyone else done something similar before? If you did do you think it made a huge contribution to exspand ones comfortzone? kind regards

I don't know much about money but think a good think you can do might be to try to become extremely good at something it might take a while to get there but once you are you will have some advantage that you wouldn't get otherwise for example some who have researched on how people become really good at something says that better opportunities will come the better you are and also the better you are at something the better you will fell about it (if you are interested in this I recommend reading so good they can't ignore you and deep work by cal newport to know the why you should become good and how to get there) hope you can use it kind regards ?

If you want better concentration I highly recommend deep work by cal newport one of the things he recommends is: 1: focus as intensely as possible (the higher the concentration the more you can do in less time) 2: be bored so it becomes easier for the brain to fire the relevant neurons (even to the point where it becomes bored to concentrate on what you do) 3: avoid attention residue. Its something thats happens when you switch from task to task quickly and it makes your concentration weaker (this can happen a lot if you are on the internet) 4: be aware of tools that can give you attention residue even when you aren't concentrating as it can make your concentration weaker when you go back to concentration hope you can use it kind regards

Well that what the book(deep work by cal newport) is suggesting

Why not go to sleep earlier?

There is actually a lot you can do to improve ones iq from what i have read from call newport book called deep work focus is a skill that can be trained (best in isolation and be comfortable being bored for a long period of time and focus as intensely as possible) he also argues that focus/deep work is the new iq and how you train it can give you different (for example concentration while having facebook open will give poorer results due to something called attention residue) results how ever it's not something that is fixed but a skill that need to be trained like you pratice a guitar to become a better guitar player So i am pretty sure you can improve your iq with the right kind of pratice (on a side note some people also think they can't become a good piano player or what ever you want to become good at the research actually shows that anyone can become really good if only the right methods are used such as deliberate pratice, deep pratice)

I would but i am not sure if it's allowed as it says no self promotion allowed here https://www.actualized.org/forum/guidelines/ i have played the piano since 2006 but mostly as something i did for fun but i have considered taking it more seriously lately if your life purpose is music related (that's awesome btw) which part of music (for example performing, conducting composing etc.)do you plan to do?

I don't have a specific life purpose but my goal is to become really good at composing music even if it's probably takes 10+ years lol what brought me more clarity towards this is because i have always been really inspired by people who was extremely good at something and from what i have read becoming really good at something should give you some advantages (from a book by cal newport called so good they can't ignore you)

if you mean peak experiences as something like peak performance i think i know a few books which might be interesting: deep work by cal newport so good they can't ignore you by cal newport Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise by andersson ericsson Talent Is Overrated: geoff colvin the talent code daniel coyle The Little Book of Talent: 52 Tips for Improving Your Skills by daniel coyle i think scott young might also have an interesting blog post on flow https://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/2017/03/29/flow-doesnt-lead-to-mastery/ kind regards
