I turned my to-do list into an RPG and finally stopped procrastinating

I turned my to-do list into an RPG and finally stopped procrastinating

Published by skeptic

No matter how much I try to get done in a day, it always feels like there’s something else just waiting around the corner to get done. It doesn’t matter if I get done with all of my work early; there’s always something behind the proverbial wall waiting to poke its ugly head out at the worst possible time. While I can use programs on my PC to track my activities and make sure I’m not getting too distracted, I always struggled when I was away from my PC. It doesn’t matter if I’m starting something new or needing to catch up on other projects I’ve been putting off for too long. I needed to start holding myself accountable, and I may have found an app that finally keeps me hooked and interested in getting my daily tasks done. Habitica holds me accountable If I’m not doing my “quests”, I take damage. I don’t want that Habitica takes something simple and turns it into something a bit more engaging. I’m the first to admit that …

Not exactly a word to fill you with joy, right? It’s the very tedious and time-consuming spectre that looms over adult life. The logistical equivalent of the most boring person in the room, who makes everyone else more boring by some sort of osmosis. Absolutely no one’s favourite way to spend their time. And for many of us, it’s not just deeply dull. It’s also strangely… dread-inducing. Tasks that should, in theory, not take more than 15 minutes max have a habit of metamorphosising into something huge and terrifying, the longer that you put them off. They pile up in the back of your mind, taking the form of a sort of bureaucracy bogeyman who seems impossible to vanquish. A strategy of avoidance, …

If running a 5K is on your 2026 to-do list, this entry-level alternative to the popular Couch-to-5K training plan is where you should start

Published by Jenni Sidey

Running is a popular form of exercise at any time of year, but especially in the New Year when fitness resolutions abound. If you’re new to the sport, you might have heard of the popular Couch-to-5K (C25K) plan, a nine-week program involving three run-walk days per week that build up to 30 minutes of continuous running. While it’s often recommended for beginners, its completion rate suggests it might not suit everyone starting from scratch. You may like One small 2023 study of 110 participants found that only one in four (27.3%) completed the C25K plan, with injury and the plan progressing too fast cited as the main barriers. If that sounds familiar, then an alternative worth considering is None to Run (N2R). “C25K has obviously helped thousands and thousands of runners,” says N2R founder Mark Kennedy, a former investment banker turned RRCA-certified distance running coach with a background in kinesiology. “It’s a great starting point, but I thought with my background, I could make this a bit better,” he tells Fit&Well.

Los ateos tienen fe después de todo — creen en alienígenas – OpentheWord.org

Los ateos tienen fe después de todo — creen en alienígenas – OpentheWord.org

Published by Sam Flores

ENGLISH: The majority of atheists have faith after all — they believe in aliens El hecho de que los ateos no crean en Dios no significa que no tengan fe. En su reciente libro Religions and Extraterrestrial Life, el astrónomo David Weintraub de la Universidad Vanderbilt en Tennessee dijo que el 55% de los ateos creen en alienígenas. Según el Daily Mail, en su libro Weintraub publicó los resultados de una encuesta sobre lo que diferentes grupos religiosos creen en relación con los pequeños hombrecitos verdes de Marte. Por supuesto, los ateos tienen pruebas científicas sólidas para su creencia en alienígenas. Quiero decir, tenemos el encubrimiento gubernamental del Área 51 en Nevada, EE.UU., donde supuestamente se estrelló una nave espacial alienígena. Dependiendo de la teoría conspirativa a la que te suscribas, algunos de los alienígenas todavía estaban vivos después del accidente y fueron mantenidos ocultos por el gobierno durante años en una instalación secreta ubicada a millas bajo la superficie de la tierra. Y, por supuesto, estos ateos pueden señalar todos esos globos meteorológicos, eh, OVNI, volando …
