Sustaining Our Creativity through Managing Multiple Projects

I completely understand your point of view. Before starting my personal blog, I used to work on one project at a time. But now, there are so many ideas, so many concepts to think that I need to capture them all, otherwise my brain will always be thinking of them (like a GTD system). So, keep doing what works for you! 

How to Achieve Hard Things following Brandon Sanderson's Advice

Absolutely! And imagine getting this talk as a student at 18, 20 years. Such a refreshing viewpoint that luck does play a part as much as we want to believe we did it ourselves.

Perverse Incentives: A Story About Rats, Nails, and Atrocities

Absolutely. If this behaviour is normalized, it makes sense more and more people will follow it. We must remain vigilant and call things out when we see them. 

Cognitive Dissonance Theory and How it Impacts US

Thanks for the comment, Monica! And about Netflix, we are all in this together :D I called myself out too :)

Why is Finland the Happiest Country in the World?

No, but I would like to visit it for a while (I will definitely have a notebook where I record as many social things as I see). I really enjoy finding out about different social measures that don’t cost an arm and a leg but they make a visible difference to society (like the transport gratuities for the police officers if they have their uniform. It really adds to visible security, doesn’t it?) I started to get interested in the Finnish mindset after I read Mannerheim’s biography (Jonathan Clements, [Mannerheim: President, Soldier, Spy](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6945413-mannerheim)). The author introduced a lot of interesting nuggets about the Finnish world. Really recommend that reading.
