Religion and language are very similar, both in how they are transmitted and how they shift.

The latter systematizes thought and the former emotions.

Language is encoded by vocal utterances, characters, hand gestures, etc…

Religion by rituals, stories, customs. The purpose of it is to handle the common emotional needs of man. The starting point is the grief that comes from a dead person -> you need a ritual to handle the body and process emotions.

Next you need to handle who has sex with whom as that is another big area of emotional turbulence in man.

Then relationships between parent and child. And so on…

Write it down and get people to follow it, you have a religion. Which will shift and split over time as does language.

It can be completely distinct from the origin of everything though many choose to incorporate deities into their stories to give weight and meaning, this harnesses the inherent respect for father figures people tend to be born with to achieve this.

Or is this for music distributed by DistroKid, CDBaby etc. before 2018?

The classic example that's a bit wrong is a glass of water half empty or half full.

The true optimist doesn't see it as half full, he sees it as full. Half with water, half with air (being grateful for the air as well.)

The neutral person sees it as half full, and the depressive sees it as half empty.

And for #6, that's how the idea actually started. I asked myself "what would happen if I prompted myself like an AI?" and it turns out, it was a great experience.

* a timeline which pulls in your calendar (you can use this to timebox as well as timetrack.)

* a daily list of prompts, which are scheduled using recur rules (which you can generate using natural language.) a prompt is useful for lots of things, which is the hard part of explaining it

* a list of your reminders for the reminders app, which can also work like a lighter version of prompts and/or todos.

Basically this app combines digital and paper planning and journaling into one page that's easier to carry and more useful than anything else (imo.)

I agree the old first image (with the hands pulling out the page) could be better (in terms of clarity) than what I am going with for the new launch (just the plan next to a phone.) My thinking was the new one being a bit more vague to catch someone's eye as they browse, so they stop and look.

Thermal printers are way too niche I think, plus the PFAS exposure on that paper is supposed to be insane, and aren't they much smaller plus harder to write on with a pen?

Organ transplant surgery costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet donors get zilch, which is completely unfair when everyone else in the value chain gets paid.

If instead it was "allow my organs to be sold for my estate" I think the supply of organs would greatly increase, which would be win/win.

If you're in an impulsive mode, that's what causes procrastination. Being impulsive will obviously lead to novelty seeking.

Here's how I model the action loop (image at the top): https://wisedayplanner.com/blog/action-loop-impulsive-vs-eff...

Those who act would do well to think a bit more, and those who think a lot need help taking action.

I recently launched an app that can help in either case (Wiseday on the app store.)

It lets you print a daily page that can both be used to introspect, as well as an execution aid to help you actually take consistent action towards your goals.
