The neuroscience here is more damning than the advice.
Killingsworth and Gilbert tracked 5,000 people across 83 countries using real-time iPhone sampling. They pinged participants at random moments throughout the day, asked what they were doing, whether their mind was wandering, and how happy they felt.
The finding that should change how you think about your own brain: mind wandering explained 10.8% of the variance in happiness. The actual activity you were doing explained 4.6%. What you’re thinking about matters 2.3x more than what you’re doing.
And here’s the part nobody talks about. People’s minds wandered to pleasant topics 42.5% of the time. Neutral topics 31%. Unpleasant topics 26.5%. Even when wandering to pleasant topics, they were no happier than when focused on the present. The only state that reliably produced happiness was attention locked onto the current activity.
This is a prefrontal cortex problem. Your default mode network activates the moment you disengage from a task. It runs simulations of the future, replays the past, and generates the anxiety you interpret as “I’m lost.” Dr. Fabiano is pointing at the right paper. The mechanism is your brain literally cannot generate satisfaction in default mode. It can only generate rumination.
The 2,250 adults in this study averaged 46.9% of their waking hours in mind wandering. Almost half their conscious life spent in a state the data shows makes them unhappy. Training sustained attention on whatever is in front of you right now is the intervention, because the research says that’s the only configuration your brain produces wellbeing in.
Your attention is the quest.

You're not depressed, you just lost your quest.

For anyone wondering how a third-grader can complete six years' worth of math in a single year.
This knowledge graph spans 3,000 math topics, from 4th grade to the university level, providing the perfect basis for mastery learning.
Students can go as fast or far as they want! There are no restrictions whatsoever. The only requirement is that they must demonstrate mastery of each topic before moving on to the next.
Kids are capable of incredible things when given that kind of freedom and support.

Today feels big. My third grader earned another stripe on his BJJ belt and then casually finished the last lesson of his Calc BC course. This kid, who just over a year ago claimed he hated math, fell in love with the subject when he started @_MathAcademy_. He became thirsty for more and more math. He has been setting his own goals, and they vastly exceeded anything I would have dared set for him. He finished 6th through 12th grade math in just over a year. He hates reviews 😂 and loves new lessons. He doesn't like calculations but loves concepts. He takes math notebooks to restaurants so he can toy with proofs while he waits for his food. And he cannot wait for the MA Abstract Algebra course (@ninja_maths, counting on you!)

Recently, I completed my MS in Physical Chemistry from University of Dhaka, with completion of a thesis on 'Retrospective Study of PM2.5 in Dhaka Using Machine Learning'.
This puts an end to my eventful DU life. Got to experience fascinating things and learnt priceless lessons.

@LauraLoomer @grok how much money did the US spend on the recent strike on Iran and how much damage(financial) did it cause to Iran?

Donald Trump is going down in history as the most influential President in US history.
There is no one greater.
Shame on those of you who called him a warmonger.
He just saved us all from a nuclear holocaust.
Good bless him.
