Try to waste as little time as possible in life. There might be a good chance only 20 percent of what you are doing is really working for you and helping you. Try to increase this. Hopefully all humans on Earth will use the time available wisely, thoughtfully and in ways that are enjoyable and fulfilling. Hopefully all humans on Earth will use time in fruitful ways. Tim Ferriss writes about the 80/20 principle in the book The 4 Hour Work Week. If my memory and understanding serves me, he recommends doing an analysis to figure out what 20 percent

Life Enrichment Manifesto

This is sort of a manifesto about life enrichment that is about becoming happy and/or happier. This is about trying to help engage in life enrichment on personal and societal levels. Life enrichment is related to increasing the amount of happiness that humans experience individually and collectively.

Relentlessly pursue success. Be virtuous. Be honest. Relentlessly attempt to solve problems in life. Engage in potentially enjoyable activities. Read the book The Art

This is a theory about why some drugs may seem to increase suicide rates. One theory that I have about why some psychiatric drugs seem to increase the chances that one will engage in suicide is that by labeling suicidal feelings as a quasi-neurological problem, to varying degrees sometimes sends implicit messages to the individual being treated with psychiatric drugs that there is nothing that one can do to stop wanting to die, other than take a drug that will hopefully work. Of course, some psychiatric drug prescribers frame psychiatric drugs as a tool to assist therapy, and that seems less

In reality, editing wikis may not be significantly fruitful for editors. If you want to be earning money, for the most part, do not edit wikis. This is a bit of discourse on editing wikis and earning money. There are various free to use and edit wikis that exist on The Internet. Many of these wikis have contributions licensed under an open license. Editing these websites is not a good way to earn money it seems. Editing perhaps most of those free wikis is a sort of volunteering. volunteering is generally not a good way to earn money, for the
