Started participation in the Good Judgement Project. I did the required test, was invited, did the training and am now waiting for the questions. Note: A summary of the training might make an interesting post but I wonder whether the material can be cited.
Obtained new evidence that made you change your mind about some belief.
Continuing old routines that were successful in the past doesn’t neccessarily make them a good idea in the furture after significant changes in context. This obvious fact can be difficult to realize when the routine has become habitual and the original benefit has cemented your feelings toward the routine. Concrete example: Joint family events don’t need to continue to be nice and beneficial for all involved after a divorce (or probably comparable life change). Just because one feels that the ‘should’ be nice doesn’t make them so. Reconsider them.
Consciously pursued new valuable information about something that could make a big difference in your life
Both failed. I do both only occassionally. It’s not that bad because I gamified exercise and award me a point for every 5 minutes of training (different kinds) and average 7 points per day. But it didn’t increase as planned.
Ooh, Good Judgment Project. I am vaguely familiar with that. I would be very interested in seeing an informal summary of your experience with it.
Kudos for your attempts. The 7-minute workout has struck me as a good idea on multiple occasions, and I still haven’t done anything about it. I suppose the next action would be to look through the 7-minute workout and see if there are exercises that would fit well into my morning stretches.
Installed Anki locally and mobile and used it to learn an artificial language: E-minimal (http://www.ebtx.com/lang/eminfrm.htm ).

Bought and started to read Causality ( http://bayes.cs.ucla.edu/BOOK-2K/ ). Whether that makes an impact remains to be seen. Praise is high.
I think pursuing the GJP (see above) also counts.
I tried to establish a routine for streangth training and mostly failed:
a) I installed a pull-up bar and use it every time I cross it and
b) I tried to do the 7 minute workout daily.

Pretty cool stuff you’ve got going, Gunnar.
