      9/ With each successive review, the amount of time between reviews increases exponentially, so it's not long before reviews are spaced out by many months or years.

      10/ The exponential falloff in review frequency is so quick, that the time commitment to doing this is not materially larger than the time spent learning the original thing in the first place.

      11/ So, several years ago while I was at Google and wanted to level up my knowledge about Machine Learning, I set out to spend 30 min per day reviewing concepts and ideas that were due for review on that day.

      12/ I built into walrOS a simple system that tracks the things that I never want to forget. I use @rememberthemilk to track concepts and wrote a hacky script that uses its APIs to automatically schedule future reviews. Code is here:https://github.com/ali01/walrOS/blob/master/memex_daemon.py …

      14/ Another big habit for me has been waking up early and working on the single most important thing before doing anything else. See this tweet from a few months ago:https://twitter.com/ali01/status/1006404894872334336 …

      "If you want success, figure out the price, then pay it." ––Scott Adams It's a surprisingly powerful idea. Once upon a time, I wanted to become a Machine Learning researcher. I woke up at 4am every weekday for a year to put in 3 hours of learning before work, and viola! :) h/t: https://twitter.com/morganhousel/status/1003288465000321025 …

      15/ More recently, I've been trying to do more writing. Writing is hard for me because I end up feeling a kind of hyper-perfectionism that can be paralyzing.

      16/ As of two months ago, I'm giving myself time every day to do at least 500 words of non-stop, steam-of-consciousness writing. I added a habit column to walrOS and have been using this web app to make sure the writing is non-stop:https://www.themostdangerouswritingapp.com

      17/ A few other habits include: writing down how I want the following day to go down right before bed, limiting time on social media, and taking a 3 min cold shower every morning.

      18/ This all may all sound like a lot, but it's just the sum of a thousand micro improvements on top of a simple foundation over four years. The key for me to getting any of this to stick was to start simple. All I needed to get started was a four column spreadsheet 🚀

      So... what’s been the visible external outcomes from this? Did you achieve any big goals like making a million bucks or writing a book/opera or inventing a better mousetrap? Of course improved personal life is great but...
