comment What is the best way to approach large tasks, such as reading scientific papers, that require intense focus?
Nice call, hellectronic. You can also find such similar items such as ocean waves, etc.

Out of curiosity, do you use both your thumbs, and do you use thumbs for anything more than the space bar?

comment What to do when tired instead of surfing the internet?
@HLGEM The question was not about how to go from tired to fried and exhausted! :-) Although, yeah, pretty worthwhile overall.

Key phrase: "...it takes a lot of practice..." Might as well start now ;-)

Do you mean non-fiction books that will help you understand what might be the underlying issues and offer techniques and suggestions, or more like fiction books that might inspire and open you?

comment Advantages of a label printer
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. I put labels on the top of my spice bottles so I no longer need to pull out and look at the face of every bloody bottle just to find the one I need at the moment!

comment When changing habits, what can you do to cope with stress?
Thanks for having mentioned the book "Willpower". I'm about a third way through the audibook and it's definitely interesting. That they speak of David Allen and GTD is bonus!

comment How to be more talkative
As an aside, I know someone who is 'INTP' (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTP), so introversion is a part of them. They prefer being alone, contemplating, and being with a few close friends. Yet this person regularly gets up in front of hundreds of people to speak, and is quite dynamic in that role. He is clear on his work and purpose and worked to do what he concluded was his to do.

comment How to be more talkative
At at a level of common reference, introversion is seen as being lesser. But that doesn't make it so. If one remains at that level of understanding, it can be a negative, limiting belief. That's why I recommended research or testing to see if a formal label of introversion really fits. Surely it will be revealed to be only part of the equation. Investigate the traits and characteristics, strengths and weaknesses, of your particular personality make-up. Then work to improve or accept.

comment How to beat the “Too Long Didn't Read” syndrome?
I think your tangent may be more of a social phenomena. Surely some read it, but chose to wait to laugh out loud until they could with the group.
