How to trigger real focus before you study:

- Before you start, run a silent script in your head: "I need to learn this"
- Tell yourself the information is important to voluntarily ramp up alertness and focus
- Don't wait for material to pull your attention out of you - engage it volitionally
- When your mind drifts, bring it back, constantly. That is the work
- Put on a hoodie and hat as blinders so you can only attend to what's in front of you
- Expect strain and agitation. That's the signal, not a failure

The strain reflects release of neuromodulators like epinephrine, which cue your circuits that they need to change later. No strain, no neuroplasticity.

People who drank more coffee had less body fat, less visceral fat, and more lean mass than less-frequent or non-drinkers.

The biggest benefit was seen at 5 or more cups per day.

And for men, every extra cup per day was associated with a ~10 ng/dL higher total testosterone. Higher coffee intake was also associated with better glucose and insulin regulation in men.

This was an observational study, but mechanistic and experimental evidence actually supports coffee's benefits on metabolic and hormonal health. I'm willing to believe there's a real link here rather than draw a conclusion such as "coffee drinkers live healthier lives in general."

The opposite of love is indifference, and the opposite of happiness is—here’s the clincher—boredom.

Excitement is the more practical synonym for happiness, and it is precisely what you should strive to chase. It is the cure-all.

When people suggest you follow your “passion” or your “bliss,” I propose that they are, in fact, referring to the same singular concept: excitement.

This brings us full circle.

The question you should be asking isn’t, “What do I want?” or “What are my goals?” but “What would excite me?”

#VicenteFernández and Tony Bennett singing “Regresa A Mi” (Return to Me).

[Mario Lopez @mariolopezviva]

Vicente Fernandez was not just a singer. He was the voice of a culture who filled the households of many of us who grew up listening to his songs. His music is the soundtrack to a ton of memories growing up.. Damn, I’m sad

#RIP #ChenteSigueSiendoElRey #VicenteFernandez

As President, George W Bush was not exactly known for his eloquence. But today, he sure showed-up.

This a beautiful and poignant speech, reminding us of what makes us America.

Hope you consider taking the time to listen to it. 🇺🇸
