Whenever I see people asking about technical tasks we see a ton of links and references, management is surprisingly poor in that sense, everyone just seems to be winging it.
There's no structure, there are no guidelines and that's because it's mostly dealing with people and people are almost always completely different from each other.
If you want to learn how to be a good/better management, focus on being a better person and helping the people around you get better.
I like it, whenever someone is criticizing me or my work I take it as an opportunity to improve.
I always second guess and ask for more details, because the person might just be misunderstanding me and I don't want to act on a false negative feedback.
I also make sure to tell them that's like pair programming for life, that the person making the critic is helping me, that I like it and I also tell a funny story to make them comfortable.
I tell the person that when I was in the army I had big angry men with guns screaming insults at me, there's nothing they can say to me that I might take offense.
Not drinking but smoking, I quit when covid started and I was afraid that my damaged lungs would make vulnerable to it.
Earlier this year I was reading 'The Gracie Diet' which is a book about nutrition written by the Gracie family, a the people who pretty much made brazillian jiu jitsu and the key take-away to avoid bad food is to think of it like a fight with a nemesis.
There's someone that is trying to kill you, he will try to use any means, what if he would try to poison you? How easy would that be? What if this enemy were to add poison to your ice cream? How easy would that be for you notice that?
News flash, icecream is already poison and the enemy is yourself.
Replicate the same thinking to alcohol, it is poisoned because someone is trying to kill you.
Can't have tilted paintings.
Ice-cream is poisonous.
Alcohol is poisonous.
The floor is lava.
Make it a game or leverage your existing OCD for good things.
other then iron deposits, all is looking good. going to consult with an endocrinologist this month, this is more about removing the link between pleasure and nutrition.
I'm far from being an expert, but the CO2 is just a byproduct of your body's metabolism. And although oxygen only makes up 21% of the air, your lungs don't extract 100% of it and even if it did, it wouldn't get used, or you would pass out.
Or even worse, you would get used to having 100% oxygen delivered to your lungs, your red blood cell count would drop and then you would pass out as soon as you stopped using the O2 tank.
I've read a comment about gut bacteria, and I've also read a study about it and I was able to lose weight. If you think about types of gut bacteria that are helping you digest your food like little populations, you need to stop eating bad food like pizza, fast food, etc so that you can starve the population that's constantly secreting hormones that make you hungry for that kind of food. Then the craving goes away.
Declare war on those bacteria.
No, it's no easy, it's pain and suffering. The first two weeks are hell.
Then it gets easier and easier.
What I did was:
- Sunday I cook meals for the week, two small portions every day.
- Two options of tasty but healthy food.
- Like mashed potatoes and grind meat or chicken and rice.
- One small cake that should last the entire week as an emergency craving snack.
- A ton of fruits.
- A cheat meal on Saturday.
Do your best to stick to it, if you feel hungry you can try to eat one more portion, or fruits and in the worst case, a piece of cake.
The cake should also be very 'fit' like carrot cake with no fillings or frostings.
I have no weird tips or hacks, I've tried and fooled myself too many times.
I think you're correct on the oxygen. If the atmosphere is richer in it you will just breathe shower or shallower.
If you try breathing to fast for your body needs you might faint. I think it's called hyperventilation and it's not pleasant.
that's inspiring
