"I'm waiting for the exact right moment", said the person who missed it 15 times.

The war on drugs tells us that LSD melts our brain. It actually repairs our brain. It creates new neural pathways and increased neuroplasticity, making it so that we can in fact "teach an old dog new tricks".

Maybe. Maybe not. You might just be going after the wrong type of people.

Too many thoughts? Write. Not enough thoughts? Consume (education)

When you work out, it’s not the weights that grow your muscle but the recovery. Likewise, when you learn new things, you must rest to retain that knowledge.

[Tanner Cottle @CannerTottle]

People want easy but what do you learn with easy? How do you grow? If everything was easy, we wouldn’t feel great about our accomplishments.

The only failure is giving up, everything else is just learning

What makes you extraordinary isn’t what you do, but how long you’re willing to do it for.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

If everyone thinks it’s a good idea, you already missed the opportunity.

[Tanner Cottle @CannerTottle]

Being the most disciplined person can help but it’s not required. You just need routines and less distractions.

[Tanner Cottle @CannerTottle]

If you’re depressed, you might lack a purpose. You can’t just do dopamine releasing activities all day (video games, porn, drugs) and expect to be truly happy. Whether it’s a passion, hobby, or mission in life, a purpose gets you excited to leave your bed in the morning

@jh3yy I agree CSS can be mastered very quickly but idk why it's being compared to JavaScript. CSS isn't a programming language. JS is used for complex logic. It's like comparing a penguin to a pigeon. Sure, they're both birds, but they don't even come close to doing the same things

Now when I learn something, I immediately implement it in an on going practice project and it becomes a registered skill in my roster

[Tanner Cottle @CannerTottle]

If you want to remember more of what you consume; instead of passively taking in information - make connections.
What does this mean? Go apply what you've learned. 🧵

[Tanner Cottle @CannerTottle]

When I was first learning to program, there were times when I'd study a new technique, I'd find it very cool and useful and just hope I'd remember it for a future project.

This combination, especially first thing in the morning, will cause spikes in glucose which leads to crashes in glucose.

[Tanner Cottle @CannerTottle]

Avoid plain carbs + caffeine for breakfast (e.i. bagels and coffee). This was my go to breakfast for years. But, you want to regulated your glucose levels to maintain energy throughout your day.

[Tanner Cottle @CannerTottle]

Staying up late with snacks and energy drinks will cause your glucose levels to crash and you’ll feel lethargic the following day.

[Tanner Cottle @CannerTottle]

If you have an exam the next day, instead of staying up late cramming - get some rest.

Relax your brain, make some tea, put on some soft music and go to bed early. You’ll wake up rested with mental clarity.
