Learning

Things I'm learning or re-learning in 2024: 

1) Better to swim then eat than eat then swim

2) Timing the cacio e pepe right

3) Chinese bit by little bit

4) You'd be lucky to see Mt. Rainier even when you're at Mt. Rainier

5) Don't give up, but try new tactics

6) Boil problems down to their simplest expression will help you manage them

7) If you eat salty chips you will also want a soda. Better not to eat the salty chips.

8) If something costs more, buy less. 

9) If you are watching more sports than exercising, this is a bad sign.

10) If subscriptions aren't worth double their monthly cost, you are likely wasting your money

11) Never interrupt your enemies when they are making a mistake. Similarly, never interrupt compound interest.

12) When in doubt, say "no."

13) Spend some time doing something you are bad at. You will gain humility but also the learning curve is steeper

14) Whatever effort you think it will take, you will need 10x that amount

15) I've never experienced a runner's high but in only 20 minutes of lap swimming I've experienced a swimmer's high multiple times
