I am working on a solution for people to defeat procrastination. Here's how it works, you select a time slot for work, and we assign you an accountability assistant who will get on a call with you and keep in touch as often as necessary to keep you from procrastinating by holding you accountable for the task at hand.
Sounds expensive

#45Persisting your OS state as a "context" - saving and loading your open applications, their windows, tabs, open files/documents and so on. Started because of frequent multitasking heavy work with limited resources. Open Beta (macOS) as soon as I finish license verification and delta updates. https://cleave.app

Could you please elaborate on meditation? How has it helped you, how much time do you spend, what is walking meditation etc? Thank you
> walking meditation Walking while meditating. There's a common misconception that you need to be sitting or lying down to meditate *or even need to be in a dark candle lite room lol). Meditating is a state of mind.

#48The hassle of splitting proceeds from a service/event/product sale after the fact related to sending/collecting your % share, timing and details of wiring the proceeds.
Solution:
Pre-set allocations and create a customized checkout so that splits happen on a per-payment basis. Members dont have to wait to get their share.
Idea kind of came about after watching my wife, who is a yoga instructor/ studio owner try to split proceeds from a workshop she hosted with a few collaborators.
Another example: allows you to create a shield to a checkout that will split proceeds on a per payment basis.

#49The past several years I've been trying to find some tangible philosophical ground to stand on. This (desperate) search is and has been the produce of mental illness I've dealt with since my adolescence (I'm 32 now). Quite a long story short, I managed to get the mental illness under control; something I thought I'd be living with the rest of my life. My research has included mostly standing/walking meditation, and r…
He's doing an overview of huge fields, not an in-depth, point-by-point argument. You sometimes have to fill in details of his argument yourself, because he doesn't answer every possible counter-argument.

#50I'm working on pacing emails to a more manageable, calmer schedule. I'm doing it with essentially a UI-less system which is a rather fun way to produce an app. It simply requires a user to update their email of the website that emails them too frequently with a paced.email alias. E.g. johndoe.shopify@daily.paced.email johndoe.stripe@weekly.paced.email johndoe.github@monthly.paced.email At the end of each period, a si…
> At the end of each period, a single email is sent to the real email address containing all of the messages the alias received over that timeframe.
Why not send each received mail individually? If you aggregate them first, it makes it very difficult to reply to individual messages with standard email clients.
