Re: Ask HN: What are your most valuable habits?
#3My insomnia causes me to be productive during the best time of day: when everyone else is asleep, I can finally focus and get work done without being interrupted. Definitely valuable to me personally.
As far as any valuable habits at work, I do well to not be as stressed as everyone else. From the philosophy of Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy that I try to live by: No matter what situation you find yourself in, DON'T PANIC.
This, however, can appear as a blessing and a curse: The fact that I come off as too down to Earth or too laid back or lackadaisical, which can upset my supervisor or co-workers because it appears I'm not taking something seriously [enough], although I certainly am, I'm just not stressing about it as much as everyone else.
Whatever the situation, there are only two outcomes: We'll either get through it... or we won't.
Since life is pretty much in a linear dimension, especially when it comes to work, it would be rare that we wouldn't get through any situation and we'd eventually move forward and learn from whatever we went through.
And again.. the downside of this? I'm probably more likely to get passed over as someone who could be in a "supervisory" or "management" position. The plus side? Less stress ;)

#41. Earlier I used to procrastinate but now I have overcome it by 50%. The power of ruling my mind is the most valuable thing for me.
2. I usually write 200 words a day, it keeps my mind healthy and busy.
3. I share my knowledge free of cost. I don't want people to be a follower but I want to create more leaders.

#7- Don't eat carbs.
- Only eat once a day.
- Only drink water.
- Sleep on the floor (or any relatively firm surface).
- Get rid of everything you rarely use.
- Only buy in bulk or on sale.
- Never keep an idea or task in your head.
- Stop carrying a wallet and keys.

#8Perseverance and responsibility.
There's been lots of times where I personally didn't want to do something or learn something, but realizing that I was responsible for whatever that was helped me keep doing what I didn't feel like- and ultimately that results in happiness and a sense of accomplishment.

I don't quite understand the last one. Can you explain?

I used to carry a big wallet and a big keychain.
Regarding the wallet, I realized that all I need are 2 cards (ID and credit). I just put them in my pocket (no wallet needed).
Regarding the keychain, I made sure I did not need to carry keys. That means using digital locks (PINs or smartphone).
I like the freedom of carrying less.
