I like the idea of Hey.com but honestly, I struggle with the idea of paying $100/year and I've had my Gmail since 2005. It's almost like an archive of my life.
Are there any systems, apps, or something similar to Hey that don't require me to leave Gmail? I know I could do Gmail forwarding within Hey but thought I'd just poke around first.
I found this extension called Manganum, it basically adds an improved new tab and a sidebar with a bunch of features to chrome, is there anything similar for Firefox?
Stoicism is a philosophy that originated in ancient Greece and has been practiced for centuries. It teaches us how to live a good life by focusing on what we can control and accepting what we cannot. This can be a helpful philosophy for productivity-oriented people, as it can help us to stay focused on our goals, manage our emotions, and deal with setbacks.
Some of the core principles of Stoicism include:
The dichotomy of control: This principle teaches us to distinguish between things that we can control and things that we cannot. We can only control our own thoughts, emotions, and actions, so it is important to focus on these things and not worry about things that are outside of our control.
Accepting the present moment: Stoics believe that we should accept the present moment, even if it is not what we want. This does not mean that we have to like everything that happens to us, but it does mean that we should not dwell on the past or worry about the future.
Detaching from material possessions: Stoics believe that material possessions are not important and that we should not attach our happiness to them. This can be helpful for productivity-oriented people, as it can help us to focus on our work and not get distracted by our possessions.
Practicing virtue: Stoics believe that the goal of life is to live a virtuous life. This means living a life that is in accordance with reason and that is beneficial to others. Practicing virtue can help us to become more productive, as it can give us a sense of purpose and motivation.
Some of the main authors or philosophers of Stoicism include:
Zeno of Citium: Zeno is considered to be the founder of Stoicism. He was a Greek philosopher who lived in the 3rd century BC.
Epictetus: Epictetus was a Roman slave who became a Stoic philosopher. He was a popular teacher and his teachings were later recorded by his student, Arrian.
Marcus Aurelius: Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor who was also a Stoic philosopher. He wrote a series of personal essays called the Meditations, which are still read today.
Why Stoicism might interest you:
Stoicism can be a helpful philosophy for productivity-oriented people for a number of reasons.
First, it can help us to stay focused on our goals. Stoics believe that we should focus on what we can control, which includes our thoughts, emotions, and actions. This can help us to stay on track and avoid distractions.
Second, Stoicism can help us to manage our emotions. Stoics believe that we should not let our emotions control us. This can be helpful for productivity-oriented people, as it can help us to stay calm and focused under pressure.
Third, Stoicism can help us to deal with setbacks. Stoics believe that setbacks are a part of life and that we should not let them discourage us. This can be helpful for productivity-oriented people, as it can help us to bounce back from failures and keep moving forward.
While I am not a full practitioner of stoicism I have borrowed some of the principles in my daily life. What is one of your favorite principles or philosophies that you follow?

In the gaming world, there are "speedruns" which may attempt to make use of glitches or advantages in games to be able to complete them quicker.
So it seems possible that in a similar way, we might try to find glitches or advantages in life to be able to accomplish things quicker.
What are some of your top "life hacks" to "speedrun" through certain things in life?
How could the concept of "speedrunning" be applied to life, and where shouldn't it be applied?
If you search on a search engine for "no goals" or "life without goals" you get some sites that emphasize the importance of setting and achieving goals, but there are some other voices who say that setting goals is often an issue for them, so they try to live without goals.
Some of the problems they indicate are that goals often end up being achieved differently or on a different schedule, so it seems pointless to set goals, or they can get things done without making it in to a "goal".
I was curious if you've seen this philosophy and experimented with it: what are your opinions on "living without goals"?
