Been tryng this on my own with no rel guide. just doing simple things like a small workout every day. Cleaning and some structure. While I don't feel amazing it's definitely been a great start. Rest of life in shambles but one step at a time lads. Even small amount of effort every day truly helps.

I'm gonna post some infographics for anyone interested :) At least you're doing something user. Good start and keep it up!
I work two jobs to save up money before going to grad school in the fall. I have next to no time to improve myself even though I'm working. Please help.
Kevin Martin
Do one small improvement every day. Like switch that coke bottle to a water bottle. Or read one page in a book before bed instead of wasting an hour on the phone. Just start with a small thing and eventually do more.

This isn’t really /SIG/ but this is the most inspirational thing Iv ever seen!
About 6 months ago, I decided to clean my life up after spending a while on Jow Forums. It was the /sig/ threads that finally motivated me to fix myself. Now I don't smoke weed, I only drink small amounts at the weekends, I gained 20 pounds of muscle (I used to be underweight because I was a drug addict as a teenager) and I have incredible determination and confidence for the first time in my life. I'm respected more by everyone in my life and many people have told me that I seem like a totally different person now. I can honestly say that I feel happy and have respect for myself for the first time in my life. Working out is a big help, reading good books and eating better food have helped me immensely too. I once thought that I was too far gone to save. I was lost in bad habits, low self esteem and self pity. I hope that this serves to inspire others because, if I can do it, anyone can do it.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is good, basically a personal self hep book written by a Roman Emperor for a Roman Emperor.
Short of that, have a look at the book list posted near the top of this thread.
Really tho, its not about what book to read, its just reading a book that is important. Regardless of the book, reading makes you more intelligent, more well rounded, understanding, and it is much more productive than internet browsing for hours on end

Wrong! Politics is all about control. /sig/ is about self-control. Without self-control, one can't control their external circumstances. Control of external circumstances is politics.
Therefore, /sig/ IS Jow Forums.

Nice. I'm okay with this :) Been learning German anyways.
Books and goals go hand in hand. If you find a goal, try and find a writer with similar interests.
>How to win friends and influence people - Dale Carnegie >Self help, 200-300 pages or so Basically, how not to be an Autist when talking to people, the book. It's common sense to people who're good with people, a bible for the rest of us autists.
>Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep - P.K.Dick >Fiction, Sci-fi, 200 pages or so long. The book blade runners based on, takes less time to read than the film takes to watch, and didn't bore me to sleep in it's opening. Solid book if you want to question what makes humans human.
Those are some easy reads. I find once you can crack through a 200 - 300 page book again, you can step up and read some bigger pieces. Take "Atlas shrugged" for example.

Has anyone gone through bad depression and found it hard to concentrate. Is this normal? I currently have this depression thing for a while,plus I was drinking nearly every night for 6 months until 3 days ago. But yeah. Find it hard to concentrate when feeling depressed, then I feel stupid because if this, which makes me even more depressed. It's like an alliance of Depression and it's bastard child, confusion, playing tug of war in my head and bringing me down.
This is great to hear.. keep it up
Thanks man
Asher Adams
The Road No Country for Old Men Fight Club
These are "easy" books but they're still adult literature. I always suggest these to my friends (men only) to read if they aren't readers. Every single time the guy comes back a week later and tells me he inhaled it. They're modern, normal English, with themes that apply to men, especially the /sig/ culture.
Start with Fight Club. You could be done with it in 3 days. Then the road. You could be done with that in 2 days. And that's not even rushing yourself either. Report back to /sig/ after.

Starship Troopers.
The book is not like the movie. It is focused more on political philosophy than on space marines hunting giant insects. It is an easy read while also providing an interesting view of how civilisation could be run.

Also I didn't realize L-arginine balanced pH...that would explain why it worked so well for threshold work on the MTB.

I've been using Duolingo.com, it seems to be good for getting your foot in the door. They have quite a few languages to choose from as well. And a torrented version of Rosetta stone.

I've been using Duolingo for Spanish (already speak French and English) and it's surprisingly way better than I thought it would be. Really good for the basics. And a LOT more content than I thought would be included in a free app. I've only used the Spanish one though so I can't speak to the other languages it offers.

> shave your pubes > trim your eyebrows > face lotion
Is SIG supposed to become a beta faggot ? tim your nostril mostly ... I'd say when you arrive a certain age.
> shit > shower > shave
Why would you shave once you took your shower ? It would take fews second to wash your after shaved and consume water again.
Truely german inneficienty at its best.

That's okay I suppose, better than nothing. I would like to recommend you the materials mentioned in this video (also the channel is pretty cool if you're interested in this sort of stuff)
Thanks lads. I'm still in shock at how much life can change with a bit of hard work and determination. I'm gonna keep going, there's no limit to this.
Owen Mitchell
As bathing as everything to do with triming your eyes brow and puting (((chemical))) lotion on your face.
not even talking about shaving your pubes if you are active. it's totally idiotic. you will get irritation much.
also shit>shaving>shower is more efficient.
> t frenchman who dunnot bathing like a faggot but wake up at 4 am , where every second in the morning is precious. who don't need a guide to take a shit.

How do I improve my ability to concentrate/focus while studying? I've set aside about 10 hours for studying every day, but thanks to my inability to keep my concentration up, I end up with only about 3 hours of actually studying, with the rest of it doing nothing at all.

I regret not giving these things up earlier in life. It's fucking hard, to find what to do with all this extra time. Like a literall 20+ hours a week free for better things. Thinking about refining myself into more of a human being, and join in with local politics.
