There are triggers far more powerful than gaining a bigger biceps to motivate you to go to the gym.

I'm currently experimenting with waking up at 5am to work on personal projects before heading to work.
Someone one Hacker News once mentioned they do this, and it stuck in the back of my head ever since. I've been at this for two weeks thus far.

On New Year's Day, my strongest resolution is often to avoid champagne for the next few years. Why do we start with fresh goals on a day when most of us can barely manage to raise our voices above a whisper?Making New Year's resolutions is fun, but staying committed can be anything but. These are a …

Человеку свойственно наступать на одни и те же грабли. Из года в год мы стараемся быть лучше и каждый раз, как только часы начинают отбивать те самые двенадцать ударов, загадываем такие простые и понятные каждому желания. Кто-то в обязательном порядке решает скинуть пару лишних килограмм, другой пла…

Кто-то пораньше, кто-то попозже. Популярен вариант встать в 4 утра и сделать работу до начала дневной суматохи…

Dr Piotr Wozniak
January 2005 (updated)
This article compares polyphasic sleep to regular monophasic sleep, biphasic sleep, as well as to the concept of free-running sleep. The follow-up to this article written in 2010 is available here…

Most people only think that there is one way to sleep: Go to sleep at night for 6-8 hours, wake up in the morning, stay awake for 16-18 hours and then repeat. Actually, that is called a monophasic sleep cycle, which is only 1 of 5 major sleep cycles that have been used successfully throughout histor…

Вступление
Доброго времени суток, %habrauser%! Думаю, в этой статье я не открыл ничего нового. Просто меня самого заинтересовала тема продуктивного сна. Несколько последних лет я был приверженцем мнения, что сон – это бесполезная трата времени, к сожалению необходимая организму. И посему, я максимал…

EVERY day, millions of American workers do something dangerous to their health: they sit down.
Sitting for long periods is hard on the body. It strains the back and causes the muscles to become slack. It slows the processes that metabolize calories, increasing the risk of obesity, diabetes…

Say you decide to go on a fast, and so you effectively starve yourself for a week. At the end of seven days, how would you be feeling? You'd probably be hungry, perhaps a little weak, and almost certainly somewhat thinner. But b.…

Staring at a pair of monitors for 10+ hours a day can get rather taxing. That’s why I pepper in small breaks throughout the day, like most people. When I need five minutes to untangle my brain I reach for my pile of art pens and the closest post it note (the back of a print out will also suffice).

After a brief, failed experiment paying me to do chores, my dad tried something really neat. It clearly took a bit of legwork, but maybe there are some transferrable lessons for parents who want to lay an entrepreneurial foundation.
He gave me a vending machine.

Почитав недавний топик про лягушек я понял, что Хабрасообщество не очень хорошо ориентируется в вопросах тайм-менеджмента и многие никогда не занимались построением своей тайм-системы.

All procrastinators put off things they have to do. Structured procrastination is the art of making this bad trait work for you. The key idea is that procrastinating does not mean doing absolutely nothing. Procrastinators seldom do absolutely nothing; they do marginally useful things, such as gardening…

For people who have never done it, working from home often holds the allure of a thing with infinite advantages: no boss, no commute, no annoying coworkers, more freedom, less stress, and so on in a never-ending list of awesomeness.
The truth, of course, is that the grass is almost never …

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post from Baker of Man Vs. Debt.
Every time we automate a process in our lives, we trade a piece of consciousness away for a piece of convenience.

We all know that we don’t get enough sleep. But how much sleep do we really need? Until about 15 years ago, one common theory was that if you slept at least four or five hours a night, your cognitive performance remained intact; your body simply adapted to less sleep.
