Hmm I don't think I'm dopamining, but not writing it off entirely either. I've definitely wondered if I had ADHD, but so far it's not checking enough boxes.

I usually have a big "passion" that I keep for at leaste a few years. Right now I'm doing lots of music, and it's not that I want to do something else, it's that sometimes there's just natural dip in activity.

Interesting! I wonder if it's saying one is better than the other? Maybe I should take up more things. I guess I've had the fear of overwhelming myself, but perhaps it'll help!

The latter, which is the more difficult feature to find

Oh right! I see! Sorry I couldn't check it myself as I don't have access to a Windows device yet. Thanks so much!

Hmm these all require command lines. The one I'm looking for is for "non-hackers" with a simple user interface.

I think this is it! Thank you!!

EDIT WAIT no maybe not. They all look the same! hmmm This looks like a download manager, doesn't seem like it can actually extract files from a webpage??

I'm the exact same. Tried grad school and dropped out after a year, for a messy mix of reasons.

Well hello Taylor Town! Email sent, can't wait to read it!

Thanks! Now the question is how to find such a niche!
samh748
·vor 3 Jahren·discuss
Transcribed interviews would work! Do you think there's a niche for that, as compared to podcasts or videos?

Personally I actually prefer reading text interviews but it seems the "people" prefer the passive form of audio/visual instead.

Thank you all for the recs! This is already plenty to get me started. Really appreciate it!
samh748

Agreed!

Curious, what areas/topics are these spaces? I myself have been hoping to find them but don't know where to look.

Thanks for the recommendations and the tips! Very helpful :)

Thanks so much for this!

With fiction, especially classic literature, it can often feel like I'm "ought to" read XYZ, which was quite demotivating. But I love your point on finding what I like reading and relate to; makes a ton of sense!

That's such an important and clarifying point!

Houellebecq's works look fascinating! Will def look into all these! :)

Thanks for the recommendations! This is really helpful!

What do you mean exactly by serious literature/"Literature"?
samh748

Very good point and a lovely analogy. Thanks for this :)

Thank you so much for this!!

The bit on "avoid ambiguity, or introduce useful ambiguity" is especially fascinating.
samh748
·vor 4 Jahren·discuss
That's really really great advice! One I actually haven't heard of or thought of before. Thank you so much :)

Discovering new worlds... That's just my kind of thing. I try my best to align my endeavours with that in mind. :)

Thanks so much for the thorough and helpful response! especially the note on the classics being more difficult. A lot to chew on and explore, that's for sure!

And thanks for the article on Einstein and music; coincidentally I've been trying to appreciate music more as well. hmmm

:)
