How to become a proactive rather than a reactive (lazy) learner? but the areas in which i am a guru, i don't wanna do any more. so it is a dead end kind of situation. i am also kind of tired of looking and encountering the same thing all over, yet i am incapable of moving myself to independently acquire the knowledge needed to pass interviews cause i can't read a book to save my life. yet, i can do anything i lay my hands on, as long as i am given an opportunity to tinker with it. |

How to become a proactive rather than a reactive (lazy) learner? so IOW, i want to do something different from what i do now but when i tell them how much $$ i need, they say that at that kind of compensation they don't wanna be supporting somebody's learning curve, i.e. they want you to hit the ground running the 1st day. it's like that with every job i apply for. they all just ask for experience and ask very specific technology-related questions that only a guru can answer, someone who hasn't had a life other than doing that day and night. they don't ask intelligence-type brain teasers and overall high level understanding of concepts |

How to become a proactive rather than a reactive (lazy) learner? because every job i apply for, they want previous experience, at least at my compensation level. i just can't afford to take any pay cut for a job that will also train me as i have a large mortgage payment. |

Training yourself to sleep less this is a terrible idea. your body needs a certain amount of sleep. i would say 8 hrs a day at least. it is preposterous to sacrifice your health for the sake of getting more things done. |

How to become a proactive rather than a reactive (lazy) learner? what i meant is more like having a course of study free of fluff (most tech books are mostly fluff, IMO) that also has hands-on tutorial. also, most books IMO just focus on explaining concepts, which is great however it is hard for me to relate to a concept unless i instanly see how it is applied in real world. lastly, it is very important to have an actual, tangible product to be working on rather than having to come up with my own -- that is why on-the-job learning works well for me because i get to work on a product conceived by someone else, i.e. don't have to come up with ideas. |

How to prevent oneself from lounging around in bed, instead of getting out of it and starting the day? sleep is never a waste of time. if you were able to sleep another "1 to 3 hours", that means you needed it |

How to spend less time cooking? I typically cook a week worth of stew/curry, takes 2-3 hrs of prep and cook time but then I eat it for a week |

Hierarchy tree editor @Martin -- ideally, each node name would be text but you could put anything in the body (e.g. media attachments etc.) |

I'm chronically late to work: how do I change this? Do you work out? Weights, yoga, cardio? if you work out at the end of the day, it may be easier to fall asleep |

Personal workflow management web/mobile app with networking capabilities thanks. do you know if it has the concept of a network of contacts to whom you can assign tasks? this is my most important requirement. it would be much like your list of friends on FB |
