If you find yourself regularly constipated, eat a banana daily. At least for me, that seems to be a huge source of relief; but, if I skip a day I'll have problems the next.

Any sort of music annoys me and literally triggers my "get away from there" instincts after 10 minutes top.
That article seems like another marketing attempt to make peolpe buy and listen more of the commercial brainwash all day everyday.

No, sorry. You're incredibly abnormal. Not that anything is wrong with that. But even infants react positively to music.

The trick is to listen to music with a design that matches the topography of what you're doing. That is, music that flows with what you're working on.

And you can get that stuff without paying anything (except for a computer with Internet). The hard part is actually experimenting with what works under what circumstances for you. I've found downtempo/nujazz/jazzy hip hop to keep me going during research writing at a rate that is basically the same as doing cocaine. But that's just me. My colleague does the same with hardcore gangsta rap. I have no idea how that works for him, it's like having someone yelling at you constantly. But it works, for him. You take the music away and he's distracted and scattered. Put it on and he sits there and writes for hours.

Experiment with it!

Also, since it's summer and errybody's gonna be grilling, share your grilling tips!

Don't cut off the bottom parts of your asparagus and just toss it. Just use a potato peeler to remove the thick skin of the bottom inch. It's just as tasty as the rest of the stalk.

is it even a tip to say that you can roast veggies and taters in aluminum foil and drench those bad boys in olive oil, rosemary, and garlic? steaming+grilling baby

You can do the same with feta cheese. Add some sliced onions and tomates to the package, drizzle with olive oil and close it really tightly. Soooooo good.

I finally figured out the secret to doing well in school: Not having any extra shit on your mind.

Back when I had no hobbies and no friends I was a straight-A student, because I was focused. Ever since I got a backlog, discovered the internet, and made friends I haven't been able to accomplish shit. I'm going to spend the Summer beating as many games, reading as many books, and watching as many shows/movies on my backlog as possible in order to prep me for Fall.

I imagine that's not going to work. You've figured out the right cause, but I think your solution isn't going to work because the lizard part of your brain that's interested in having fun or doing things that are personally fulfilling doesn't give a shit about what happened months ago. I'm not saying "don't spend your summer having fun," but I don't think it's going to make school any easier in the fall.

The best thing you can do is probably to commit to a program like GTD, or start scheduling your life. Include stuff you like to do as part of the schedule, because that stuff is legitimately important to your mental well-being, but make sure that the amount of time you spend on the other stuff you need to do doesn't suffer.

Oh of course, MGS5/GTAV are coming out. I can't just ignore them. Still, I can't spend days online or read 7 books at once, or go to parties on the weekday either.
