The handbook of StoicismI looked up at the clock. 4:20 PM. (Nice.)“Let’s see if I can read this entire book and take notes on it before the top of the hour,” I thought to myself. And so I pulled up my browser’s EPUB extension and started reading, occasionally stopping to jot down ideas I found interesting. When I hit the final sentence, I glanced back up at the clock. 4:51 PM. Mission accomplished. Now I’m not a particularly fast reader (in fact, my reading speed is quite slow).

Use this engagement tactic to get your posts out of the voidIn November 2024, I started a brand-new 𝕏 account. 0 followers. 0 following. 0 posts. Completely new. My goal? To find out how quickly I could grow a blank slate social media account to a respectable audience size while working a full-time job. I started by posting every day. I knew that if I wanted any chance of growing my account, I’d have to create content consistently.

Naive ignorance is blissThey say that the best person to write to is not anyone you know today. Instead, it’s the version of yourself from the past. Why? Because somewhere in the world, there’s someone in the exact same shoes that you were in five years ago. And as I write, the only thing I can hope for is not that my grammar is correct, or my formatting is well-thought-out (although those would be nice), or that my thoughts come out clearly on the page (although that would be ideal).

Why I am holistically selfishI defend my sleep like a junkyard dog who’s just found a bone. My sleep schedule is very strict. I sleep at 8:30 PM. I wake up at 5:00 AM. If you ask me to hang out, it has to be before 7 PM. Even earlier if accounting for the commute home. “Want to go out and grab food?” No thanks. “Feeling like heading out to the city?” Absolutely not.

Life is a video gameKevin Feng·FollowPublished inPractice in Public·7 min read·--Image generated by Leonardo.AiI beat the hardest video game challenge known to mankind. Okay, I guess “hardest” is a little subjective here, but I thought it was plenty challenging for myself. Old School RuneScape is a multiplayer medieval-fantasy game. Think goblins, dragons, quests, and wizards — a classic MMORPG. Its ultimate test of skill and endurance is the infamous Inferno.
