Memories are very personal; something that works for you won't work for your friend, even if you're learning the same thing in a class.

> bash/emacs+orgmode/emacs+tramp/emacs+? You wanted to say "Magit" in the last one :-) Why do you say you're limited to text-only things? Org supports links, images, code blocks, s…

Oh, and you if you need a little more persuading or motivation you might want to check up on books by Sam Harris [1] and Michael A. Singer [2]. The first one is also a neuroscienti…

Several people in the thread have already recommended meditation. I’m going to join them. If you’re already doing therapy, consider complementing it with meditation. Meditation, if…
