this is ridiculous what the fuck

[James Johnson @jamesjohnsta]

@tferriss Sometimes using extreme behaviours to kickstart a new habit. I.e. a vacation to stop smoking pot or buying brand new gym outfits to start and new kick. Unsustainable habits just to get you over the hump / pain period in the beginning

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Friends - what tools or tricks have you used for changing your behaviors and habits? Specifically, have you used any tools or approaches for creating incentives (carrot or stick) like https://t.co/HWVdb549Fp or newer options?

[James Johnson @jamesjohnsta]

@tferriss Tim, legitimately love your work! Constructive criticism from a nobody: your profile picture hurts your credibility, for such an authentic brand / personality, it truely seems like such a waste and miscommunication ❤️

@shadmbrooks I think for this pendulum analogy to be more accurate, it would be the equivalent of a team of skilled people setting up all the ‘pendulum mechanics’ and the ‘artist’ simply showing up and tapping the can in a certain direction

I have tried hard to make a habit of something which is rather rare on the internet - to not comment on things which I know nothing about.

The 24-Hour-You.

One of the best questions to ask yourself when faced with a decision is “what would you tomorrow want you today to do?”

This has been something I’ve relied on for years to help give me perspective and make better choices.

It rips you out of the moment.

It stops you from relying so heavily on the confused chemical signals coming from your body and instead gives you a bit more distance.

It depersonalises the decision and helps you to treat yourself like a friend you’re responsible for helping.

It forces you to optimise for long-term thinking rather than immediate gratification.

It reminds you that ultimately decisions aren’t being made for you now, they’re being made for you in 24 hours, and 24 days, and 24 months.

Our decisions are investments we make into our future, and the more ruminative and deep of a thinker you are, the more you need to make decisions for your future self, not yourself now.

Optimising to gratify your desires in the moment at the expense of the way you feel and the story you tell yourself about yourself in the future is rarely a good deal.

You live with the story of your decisions for far longer than the impact of them.

Choose wisely.

We don’t have crystal balls to see the future, but this is about as close of a tool to clairvoyance as I can think of.

In fact, I can’t think of a single decision which would be worse if I actually did what I wished I’d done 24 hours later.

So yeah, try to be kind to your 24-hour-you, they’re ultimately the one who has to deal with whatever you do today.

@Ten_24 Very cool! Would love to see this with topology :)

[BeeCarms @BenCarmeli]

Believe it or not, most scooter rigs out there aren't built for this kind of animation

So when @get_reactiv said they needed a "scooter that twerks" I got to work on a custom solution. A few revisions later we had a Vespa that could throw it back with the best of 'em 🍑🛵🍕
