How is this going to be resolved: I commit to trying at least 3 top suggested interventions and resolve the market in proportion of how useful I found each. (I may also try more than 3 suggestions if I find them particularly attractive) What kind of interventions should you suggest? - This is meant to be fairly broad. Some non-exhaustive areas of life that can be optimized include: - energy - creativity - life satisfaction - productivity - longevity - relationships - reducing friction from common every-day interactions - Please see an initial set of options I've added for examples A bit about myself: - I'm Vlad - https://twitter.com/VladyslavSitalo - A single Software Engineer living in San Francisco. - How do I spend my days: - Work on projects following my curiosity/what seems fun - broadly in the space of augmenting human cognition though building software (other names: Tools for Thinking and Future of programming) and do coaching to help people become better at Software Engineering - Mostly work from home, though sometimes cowork with people in random places/work from coffee-shops. - Random computer environment facts: - macOS - Colemak keyboard layout - heavily using Alfred & Karabiner to automate things - swear by JetBrains IDE's - Kotlin is probably my favorite programming language, but I've been mostly reluctantly doing Typescript on frontend because of better tooling - I know that this is sparse and incomplete. Feel free to ask more questions in the comments about myself/ things I’ve tried before/things I care about Things in this vein that I tried in the past: - & found impactful - Speeding up audio/video I listen/watch (current default is 2.3x) - Listening to audiobooks in general - Finding & attending more social event I enjoy (and/or organizing them) - Using Karabiner to customize/optimize my keyboard usage. - Getting an iPad to optimize my reading experience - & didn’t find impactful - Taking Magnesium to improve sleep quality - Meditation Caveats: - There is a limit to how drastic of a life change I'm willing to make at the will of the market 😛. - Generally I may skip any suggestion for any reason, but will try not be arbitrary about it. May 31, 5:14pm: Description ended up a bit of a mess, as the white spaces (section indentation) is not preserved. I hope it's still understandable Jun 6, 11:49am: Options I have already tried & happily using won't be considered for selection. though, I can see trying things that I tried before again. And you can trade on that in case you think it's worth it! (e.g. Modafinil option, which is unfortunately invisible now) Jun 6, 11:51am: This now also has IRL money bounty for new options attached to it 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/groups/bountiedrationality/posts/3222271488016892 Close date updated to 2022-07-07 11:59 pm
