Hi comrades and welcome to the second weekly improvement megathread!
I am glad to see that there was a lot of engagement in the first megathread and that people were checking in throughout the week.
Same as the last week, here are some ideas for discussion:
- Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
- What would you like to do next week?
- What aspect of life would you like to improve?
- Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
- If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
- Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?
Good luck to everybody with your goals! 
You can sort of skip the first half-ish of the book, if you don't want to know the historical background for why the book is important. The second part, where he begins talking about how to get better at scheduling focused work, and the benefits of doing it are much more interesting. It's also an incredibly easy read, and only about 250 pages, so even a busy person can get it done in like a week / long weekend. If I have to give Cal Newport some commendation, he is actually pretty good at writing in a way that is accessible, and he avoids a lot of the #Grindset shit that you see on instagram and hear on podcasts. In particular his point about concentration being a muscle that you have to exercise regularly, and if you don't it will wither and must be retrained.
Thank you for the info, I will check it out! The best book on productivity and organization that I've read is Getting Things Done by David Allen, I definitely recommend it.
