Hi! I'm excited to share a website I created that compiles the top 100 submissions on Hacker News on a daily basis. It's simple to use and supports arrow key navigation. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Hi,

>> ... washing your face with cold water after you wake up every morning

I've been doing this. It sure feels great and the best part is you don't even feel your face after a couple of splash and the cold doesn't bother you anyway (Yeah! It's a "Frozen" reference).

Can't really say if it has something to do with wrinkles lessness, but take it as a commitment, give you a feeling of accomplishment and a thing to brag about ;)

Hi,

In the view of replies posted, I think profile pics (hereafter avatars) in colleague section are fine to have but dIefinitely not a necessity.

IMHO, here is an optimal solution:

Couldn't there be a two way option: whether i want to share my avatar in the circle, and if i want to look at other avatars?

It would be pretty effective.Lets say, I'm not interested in avatar of your colleagues, so i can turn them off or they would be in a drop down list. And say if I don't want you to see my avatar in colleagues section/list, I can turn it off from my side. So, you would only see a default avatar associated with my profile.

Hi, First of all, thank you for taking interest! > Do your 3 sections have time limits? No, as this would be against the fundamental idea of my approach. Usually, the first section (or "the morning drill", as i call it) lasts till breakfast. After usual morning stuff, if i have time left, i browse social media, tunein to a ted talk, check mails. After Breakfast, second section goes as long as there are tasks left to be done. It may be just a couple of hours, or the whole day. Then there is section three, which is nothing much to plan about. Before going to bed, I prefer writing a log/diary and setting up tasks for the next day.

Hi, I agree with your view. And over a couple of years of (failed) scheduling/optimizing techniques, I learned a thing or two that I would like to share. The approach OP used in her article is undoubtedly, a great way of looking at your footprints. I used to do a similar (revising over time) thing, but looking back on how much time i "wasted" and how little i was "productive", was not worth the effort. Over time, I've changed and perfected (well, kind of) this approach to a new way.

The New Way* I divide my day in 3 sections. The first one, Morning Drill, from a set wakeup time (it really helps) until breakfast. I comprises things like regular morning routine, say exercise, freshening up, etc. It give me a good start into the day. I prefer not to do anything "productive/work-related" in the morning. Next, I take up my todo list for the day (i manage is using Todoist), understand my priorities and think of a general direction of the day, is it going to be a work-day or a fun-day?. I'm strict about my list, but not so much that I would not talk to anyone till i'm finished. I like to play it cool. The third section, i've finished all i had planned today, so i can do anything i want, read a book, go out with friends, and other cool stuff. This kind of summarises a day.

> All of us live at least partially on autopilot, so bad habits tend to sneak up and stay unnoticed. I love keeping notes, and reading old notes and revising your day, really helps for such a thing.

Results of new approach: When I go to bed, I sleep sound realizing the day wasn't a complete mess as opposed to drooling over "I've not been productive enough".

All in all, this was a wonderful article with beautiful insights and a magnificent approach of data science in daily life.

Conclusion: "The more you focus on productivity, the less you make it."

PS. I have been following *this approach for over 5 months now, and I've never been better.

Hi! Regarding `Read 10 Books`. I would recommend "Andy Oram, Greg Wilson - Beautiful Code (2007, O'Reilly)". It's a personal favourite.
