Hi, can you please elaborate your post on what you mean by neutral patterns?

Software Engineer

Chartered accountant 

To clarify on neural patterns : I am talking about each and every activity that your brain does, is all managed by the brain. You got a sneeze, all the mucus and the process that builds up a sneeze, all the data is relayed to the brain via neurons in organs. And the brain tells you to sneeze. Similarly every small detail in your body is governed by the brain.  
 So does studying these patterns on how the brain has a reaction for every trigger, help us make habits more efficiently, without going through much pain.

Just studying neural patterns and discovering them for yourself can make you feel miserable! What might help is finding activities/excuses that motivate you to overcome bad habits or develop new progressives ones.

If anyone here knows or has explored the science behind habit formation, did this new gained info help IRL habit formation?

I believe men are becoming increasingly conscious of their appearance and it’s quite evident on GV as well. Working out, getting in shape is only L1 problem, personal care goes beyond working out. But there are two problems when men want to start personal care (skin,hair, body)

1. Lack of knowledge. Where to start? How to start? Which products to use? What is Vitamin C? WTF is a hyaluronic acid?

2. If #1 is sorted, then the second problem is laziness. I spoke to 220+ men and 70% spend only spend or want to spend 10-20 mins/day on personal care.

I plan to solve this by,

1. Content. Becoming an education first brand. Best example is Ditto Insurance, they’re more of an advisor than a Insurance selling company. A good example in D2C space is The Whole Truth. I want to educate men about personal care. I want to build a brand that men turn to when starting their personal care journey. 

2. Innovative products & Functionality. Men would benefit a lot from serum but they don’t use it primarily because the hassle of using a dropper, rubbing it on your face is too much. We’ll innovate how these products are made. Easy to use. 


I’ve dropped a full-time job offer to build this right out of college. Borrowed 10L from F&F. Registered the company and on-boarded a few kickass people to create content. Hope all goes well. I’ll keep sharing the progress here :)

Same as title. These days due to low job security and having faced layoff last year, I always feel the need to continuously do interview prep like DSA, LLD, etc even when I am not actively looking for a job. Plus, due to new technologies coming up, I feel the need to keep upskilling too. If I don't upskill or do interview prep continuously, I feel guilty as if I am wasting time. I feel like at this point, I am just living life to upskill and interview prep. Is there a way to balance all this along with work as it gets very tiring after a while and I feel burnt out?

How do guys balance daily work and upskilling?

What is one thing that you would change, by going back in life?

Have seen lot of posts about digital addiction and procrastination bad habits and people having new year resolutions to be better. 

Do you now or ever before procrastinated in your work?

What were your reasons for it? Do you think it's because you aren't passionate about your work?

Has procrastination ruined your productivity? If yes, is it because it has become a habit?

What do you think would help you with overcoming procrastination?

Do you have/had procrastination with your work?

Some things I believe:
As human beings it is our right (maybe our moral duty) to reshape the universe to our preferences
* Technology, which is really knowledge, enables this
* You should probably work on raising the ceiling, not the floor


Enthusiasm matters!
* It's much easier to work on things that are exciting to you
* It might be easier to do big things than small things for this reason
* Energy is a necessary input for progress


It's important to do things fast
* You learn more per unit time because you make contact with reality more frequently
* Going fast makes you focus on what's important; there's no time for bullshit
* "Slow is fake"
* A week is 2% of the year
* Time is the denominator


 The efficient market hypothesis is a lie
* At best it is a very lossy heuristic
* The best things in life occur where EMH is wrong
* In many cases it's more accurate to model the world as 500 people than 8 billion
* "Most people are other people"


We know less than we think
* The replication crisis is not an aberration
* Many of the things we believe are wrong
* We are often not even asking the right questions


The cultural prohibition on micromanagement is harmful
* Great individuals should be fully empowered to exercise their judgment
* The goal is not to avoid mistakes; the goal is to achieve uncorrelated levels of excellence in some dimension
* The downsides are worth it


Smaller teams are better
* Faster decisions, fewer meetings, more fun
* No need to chop up work for political reasons
* No room for mediocre people (can pay more, too!)
* Large-scale engineering projects are more soluble in IQ than they appear
* Many tech companies are 2-10x overstaffed


Where do you get your dopamine?
* The answer is predictive of your behavior
* Better to get your dopamine from improving your ideas than from having them validated
* It's ok to get yours from "making things happen"


You can do more than you think
* We are tied down by invisible orthodoxy
* The laws of physic

I recently came across some articles.

https://medium.com/@srikanthp2019/the-intentionally-hidden-truths-of-iim-calcutta-3fc36cfd7e30

Does ragging of such scale where the seniors time and again disrespect the juniors and humiliate them really happens at top B-Schools( i m talking about IIM A,B,C,L,K,I, FMS, XLRI etc) l.

I am from one of an old IIT and haven't faced any ragging or harrasment from seniors over here apart from the freshers party where the seniors themselves told that if you are not comfortable then you can leave. Not one incident after that. Instead it has been a total opposite scenario and the seniors are too helpful here in a variety of ways. I have friends in IIT Bombay, Kanpur and Delhi and they too told me the same thing.

I was very surprised and astonished when I found out that kids age 18 years old aren't engaged in ragging at IITs but adults age 23 years+ doing their MBAs are doing the same at IIMs.

PS: I plan to pursue an MBA from an IIM in the future but such incidents are a big turn off for me hence I wanted to know the reality.
