#BM absolutely love this concept- putting a period at the end of your actions

If you lie down for 4 hours after work and just stare at your phone, your brain stores that time as >>phone time<<—just one single chunk. Since there's only one piece of data saved, it feels like the whole 4 hours evaporated To cut down on this kind of time and use it more densely, it's good to forcibly put >>periods<< in the middle of this hazy daily routine to create clear memories •On the way home from work, listen fully to exactly 3 favorite songs and then turn it off •When you get home, hang up your outer clothes and drink a glass of cool water •Before washing up, clear away one used cup from the desk •Watch YouTube Shorts for exactly 15 minutes and then closing the app Even with something this tiny, if you mark it with a 'it's done' period, your brain will recognize that a lot of data has been stored.. For people who feel like their day is way too short—especially those with ADHD—I bet it'd really help to give this a try

i believe this can help those that feel like their lives are slipping away it is always about the smallest things what i love about this is how it leads back to being intentional in living your life - putting period at the end of actions https://x.com/Adhd_Hana/status/2046432517428056471?s=20

To him, people’s motivations were intimately linked to the pleasure of possession that others are denied the same good.

The Man Who Dies Rich Dies Disgraced: The Forgotten History of the Idea That Wealthy People Should Give It All Away

The idea that wealth carries obligation is not new, not progressive, and not radical. It is older than any religion currently practiced, articulated independently by civilisations that never communicated with each other, and encoded in the legal structures of ancient Rome and the sacred texts of ancient Egypt alike. What Carnegie did in 1889 was not invent this idea. He repackaged it in the language of industrial capitalism and pointed it at the people who most needed to hear it. The man who dies rich dies disgraced. Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity. The gods chained him to a rock for eternity. He is still, two and a half thousand years later, the word we use for someone who loves humanity enough to pay a price for it.

Frequent ejaculation (roughly 21+ times per month) is associated with health benefits, primarily a reduced risk of prostate cancer.

Harvard Health: Ejaculation frequency and prostate cancer

The scientists found no evidence that frequent ejaculations mark an increased risk of prostate cancer. In fact, the reverse was true: High ejaculation frequency was linked to a decreased risk. Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer. And the results held up to rigorous statistical evaluation even after other lifestyle factors and the frequency of PSA testing were taken into account.

Among male athletes, pole vaulting and gymnastics were linked to the highest extension in lifespan (8.4 years, 95% CI [6.8, 9.9] and 8.2 years, 95% CI [7.4, 9], respectively), while volleyball and sumo wrestling were the most negatively associated with lifespan (- 5.4 years, 95% CI [- 7, - 3.8]; - 9.8 years, 95% CI [- 11, - 8.6], respectively). The association between lifespan and popular team sports in males was positive for cricket, rowing, baseball, water polo, Australian rules, hurling, lacrosse, field hockey, minimal for rugby, canoeing and kayaking, basketball, gridiron football, and football (soccer), and negative for handball and volleyball. Racquet sports (i.e., tennis and badminton) exhibited a consistent and positive association in both male and female athletes, as shown by an extended lifespan of up to 5.7 years in males (95% CI [5, 6.5]) and 2.8 years in females (95% CI [1.8, 3.9]).
