### "Things I Can Do" lists are awesome I've only just figured ou that making something more important doesn't make me want to do it. A part of me finds a way to justify or distract me from not doing something. A private key of mine has been used by a Ledger & was chosen by a cold card MK3. I should have moved it sooner but as I said, importance doesn't motivate me. This is my current "Can Do List" note in Obsidian (available on Zapstore). I've already purchased the towel rail & installed it in the bathroom. I've put off doing that for over 5 years. I just put the first simple, quick little task in that I can later check off that list. I check them all off at once for a bigger dopamine hit. I'm trying to use my tendencies to be kinder to future Me. If extending on the task gets boring I just pick up where I left off later. I try to tick off as many as I can without checking the list, I make a game of it. An unconscious part of then

These things are pretty cool too but I still prefer the dice. View quoted note →

If you trust any device to generate your seed phrase, you're introducing unnecessary risk for the sake of convenience. Get a few packs of plastic dice from the dollar shop and roll your own seed. For a 12 word seed with near perfect entropy, you'll need to do 56 dice rolls. 4 packs of 6 dice meant I could roll 4 words with 1 roll. The last word takes 1 roll & you will choose with the word from the device. Before you come at me with needing casino dice, it doesn't matter. Analog randomness was solved a long time ago, it's digital randomness I don't trust. Loaded dice are crazy expensive, your not going to find them in packs of 6 for $2.50 https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5ac611b8c9a9f44c6ea4f401/5f805bc9366dba6459a8ed36_diceseed.pdf View quoted note →

# The Power of the Streak GM, I've recently been made aware of the significance of streaks (not steaks) among certain ADHD bitcoiners. We love them & we can use them to motivate us to shape our physical reality to our preferences. Whether it's vacuuming & tidying a room, completing a word5, working out or simply going for a walk, if we do it every day for 3 days in a row, it becomes a streak. Maintaining the streak is more appealing than the task itself & any perceived benefits performing it has. The streak itself starts to have significance. Today is my third day in a row that I've gotten up early, had a coffee & gone for a 20 min hike to view the sunrise. Sometimes it's beautiful & sometimes it's disappointing, you can't really tell until you can see a decent horizon. I'm going to use the streak as motivation to get moving because I feel so good when I start the day like this. Your current physical state is largely shaped by the small things you do (or don't do) consistently. It's not the big, high intensity tasks, it's the small things you do every day. **Use it to your advantage.** *Photo from yesterday's hike:* Note - breaking a streak is extremely demotivating. You have to restart from scratch & often that's very difficult for an ADHD bitcoiner. Fuck you word5 - 88+ days in a row & you lost track of it. 🤣

This is effectively how you boil a steak. You'll never get a good crust like this because the Maillard reaction requires temperatures higher than the boiling point of water. If you're going to use butter, use it to baste the steak after you have a good sear. You want your pan hot & dry to do this, no oil is necessary. Once there is a crust, the pan will release the steak & it will no longer be stuck to it. If you don't believe me, look up Maillard reaction. View quoted note →

You can just do stuff.
