This is a thread for the discussion of personal betterment, both mental and physical, goal setting, and sharing of results.

Harden yourselves, brothers. Make yourselves utterly incorruptible. Make yourselves whole again. Break your chains of addiction, and refuse to be a slave to endless consumerism. Fear nothing but the failure to meet your objectives!

Post inspiration, recommended reading, and share personal experiences. Let's help and uplift eachother, friends.

Basic recommendations:
• Create more order in your life. Live by a routine and set goals.
• Exercise at least 3 days per week. Lifting/sports/cardio are all great.
• Use a calendar and stick to it as closely as possible.
• Learn to focus + meditate
• Eliminate any unproductive or time wasting habits (watching youtube, browsing /b/, etc)
• Simplify your life. Work, hobby, socialize, eat, excercise, and sleep should be 90% of your day.
• Get a hobby that isn't excercise or work. If your hobby is video games, expand on that. Create content (guides, videos, etc.) for your favourite game or contribute your skills to an indie game project.
• Read non-fiction, watch talks/documentaries.

The best way to become a more interesting, successful and overall better person is to do more things. Try out hobbies, learn about politics, become passionate about different things, strive to learn and do more. Don't look for arguments and remain open minded.
