A reminder: I have unrefined drafts of ideas in on this forumwiki, and I discuss controversial and complicated topics. Please excuse anything I say that’s uninformed; if you let me know how I’m mistaken and I find you convincing, I’ll revise what I’ve written. I am no stranger to changing my mind on things.

Misc thoughts to file

• Done: I need to have some kind of master task list linked to from this main page, and that master task list should link to lots of smaller task lists which are dispersed around the wiki.
• That story of the MMA fighter showing up at the house of his CS opponent and it turning out to be a 10-year-old is a great example of how the Internet is the equalizer. If we could do the same thing for jobs that we can do for esports opponents, we might make society a lot more efficient.
• I should have a section called "Service I would be willing to pay for from other people" that people can browse and help me with. For example, I'd like to be able to get connected with some cheap assistant that would edit YouTube videos for me, but I don't want to spend the time necessary to find someone reliable.
• How much money do the top 1% have? Especially these internet entrepreneurs and hedge fund managers (as opposed to the owners of established companies like Wal-Mart). What would be the effect if all of that money was flooded into the market? Eg if they all went on a buying spree. Would it lead to inflation? If so, how much?

Major behavioral problems I need to fix

1. Not focusing (My weaknesses)
   
   1. Related: Procrastinating / Anxiety / Making Excuses / "I can't do this now because ..."
      1. Related: Not tracking my time.
      2. Related: Spending too much time consuming and organizing information that may be useful in the future, and not enough time producing / selling, and consuming information that'll help me get the next small piece of my product finished.
   2. Related: Giving up / not persevering / not being persistent
      1. Fretting / panicking / reacting to a new problem with dismay rather than an aggressive attitude
   3. Related: Not sticking to my bets.
      1. I bailed out of the Trump bet at the first bump in the road rather than researching whether it was really a sign I was wrong.
   4. [Update June 2023: Stimulants solve this. 200mg-400mg of caffeine per day should be enough. Get enough sleep afterwards: don't use an alarm clock, don't have a schedule you need to stick to.]
2. Not spending my time according to a top-down plan (My weaknesses)
   
   1. Related: I don't have a good system for keeping things top-of-mind that I should be keeping top-of-mind.
      1. Example: Things I can do when I have a spare moment.
      2. Example: Major weaknesses that I should be keeping an eye out for / correcting when I notice them.
3. Feeling overwhelmed by large problems (My weaknesses)
4. I often think too much; I spend too much time thinking about a problem instead of just trying to jump in and tackle whatever tiny piece I can get started with.
   1. [Update June 2023: Stimulants solve this.]
5. I don't reach out to people enough. I want to be like Richard Branson when he was creating his magazine: totally comfortable with reaching out to strangers who may be able to help me.
6. I can be a pushover at times. In trying to be friendly / a good person, I'll let people take my money/time when it's not a good deal for me.
7. Meta: Follow the Ben Franklin approach and focus on improving a single characteristic for two weeks at a time!
8. Minor: Not spending my money in interesting / creative ways
