David Cain about things that he knows are good for him but he still only does them seldomly.

Number 8 will blow your mind! Just kidding. But seriously, I’ll quote the ones that apply to me the most:

2) I never regret working out. […]

10) The quickest and most reliable path to personal improvement is to do the things on my list that I resist most. […]

11) All you need to do to finish things is keep starting them until they’re done. […]

14) The most consistently joyful activities for me are visiting with other people and reading books.

After spending most of my life preferring various solitary entertainments to socializing, I’ve recently came to similar understanding about meeting other people. It seems to energize me and fill me with joy (self-reported mood data supports it). The trick is to find like-minded people. Maybe I’ll write a post about it sometime - it was a very big change in my life.
