There are a number of tools I've been using to improve my life lately, so I though I'd share.
Reddit: this is the front page of all of the internet. In some ways, the internet starts and ends here. The amount of information, knowledge, and content on here is endless, and is constantly being updated in dialogue with other members. However, there is also a lot of negative content and bad news that could ruin your day, so I subscribed to the following subreddits:
1. r/GetMotivated - Exactly how it sounds. This is where people post motivating content. I collect a great deal of inspirational stories and motivational media from here.
2. r/Leaves - opposite of r/trees. It's for people trying to stop smoking
3. r/Fitness - Members are always posting before-after pictures. Supporting each other, answering questions, and giving advice. Reddit is full of professionals in their given fields, and the guides provided are also especially helpful.
4. r/NoFap - Porn-masturbation addiction is a lot bigger than people think. Because it's socially accepted, most people don't identify it as a problem. This is for people trying to break their porn addiction, or learn more about the effects that the brain has on porn. If you're more interested in the subject of the effects porn has on the brain, I highly highly suggest watching these scientifically-based videos
5. r/Funny - because the internet is also full of funny.
Flux - A program to make computer browsing easier on the eyes. Typical LED monitors are designed to mimic the sun, however, our eyes are designed to only have half a day of sunlight. This program basically changes the color brightness of your monitor based on the time of the day. Don't worry, it doesn't darken anything, it just blocks out blue rays that are responsible for keeping you awake when you browse at night. Give it a try!
My Tumblr - not trying to advertise but, a lot of the motivating, inspiring, uplifting content I find is reposted here.
Chains - simple little website that allows you to visually keep track of habits, or broken habits. The goal is to not break the chain!
