Don’t wait until you have “free time” to start a fitness program. Because then when you get busy again, you’ll stop. The best time to start is actually when you’re busy. Learning how to fit it in when time’s are tough means you’ll stick with it over the long haul.

If you think of a good idea, write it down. Your brain will try to trick you into thinking you will remember it later, but it's a liar! Therefore: Write it down!

Practice doesn't make perfect, or even better. Practice makes permanent. If you practice doing something incorrectly, it will become far harder to get better as you have to unlearn bad habits. Be conscious of the right way to do things before devoting time to practice.

The news will NEVER be positive. Even if there was a news network in heaven, it would find something negative to talk about. It can only make money by injecting you with negative emotions and riling you up. Avoiding the news is the cheapest and fastest way to improving your life.

If you’ve got some free time and you’re planning on spending it watching tv/playing video games, etc. Make yourself go on a short walk or do some brief exercise beforehand. You’ll probably end up going longer than you planned and you’ll feel better about relaxing after.

Instead of thinking you’ve blown the day and thinking “I’ll get back on track tomorrow” try thinking of each day as a set of four quarters: morning, midday, afternoon, evening. If you blow one quarter, you get back on track for the next quarter. Fail small not big.

Don’t tell anyone you’re starting shit. You get a fake rush of endorphins, you get the reward of acknowledgement that what you’re stating, you’re gonna do is “so great” and “good for you!” It’s fake ass praise and then you feel shame when you don’t follow through.

@madzadev It would be a little ridiculous to learn JS without learning HTML if your point is front end dev. The purpose of 90% of javascript is to interact with the DOM. But if you're learning JS for node, then it might make more sense.

Don't ever remember code, remember concepts and algorithms. If you understand the underlying concepts (and algorithms) you can write code in multiple languages once you know their syntax. Professionals never remember code, they understand the algorithm behind the actual code.
