Listening to an actual radio
Listening to an actual radio frees us from the pressure of making decisions that we normally do while deciding what Podcast or digital station to listen to. It is a simple pleasure and the warm radio tones are soothing.

Attempting to fix things when they break is more satisfying than letting someone else taking care of them, or replacing them.
Blogging or personal website
Blogging, or just having your own little website was a great thing when the Internet wasn't hijacked by social media and retail giants.
Playing games around the table
Playing games around a table with other people was a genuine treat and a really fun experience of togetherness.
Sitting down to a board game gets everyone together physically, and also mentally-you can't play a game while half-absorbed in your phone. It's easy to be fully present because there's always something to do, to hope for, and to talk about.

If you’re waiting for someone to give you the right training to change your job or do something radically different in life you will wait forever.

Learning to Learn
Learning is not a rigidly formal system of precisely labeled steps.
Learning is messy. It’s trial and error. It’s failing and then failing again and then slowly figuring it out.
Give Up Magical Beliefs
You can’t borrow someone’s motivation. No matter how many books you read or chants you do you won’t become more motivated.
Motivation comes from inside. It comes from you and nowhere else.
