Interested to try the Oura ring, but also skeptical. Will write a review in a months time ish.

Was there a post of your recommended kitchen wear? Like pots, pans and cutting boards? @Leo Gura

@PenguinPablo You can do that though for awhile. I do it. You can learn to be satisfied. Many not permanently.

Chatgpt Your new Oura ring can be a powerful tool for optimizing your energy, recovery, and focus, all key to building the powerful life you envision. Here are some targeted ways to get the most out of it: 1. Sleep Tracking for Recovery and Performance • Deep Sleep and REM: Aim to improve both deep sleep and REM cycles. These sleep stages are crucial for recovery and mental clarity, which can help you stay grounded and focused on your ambitious goals. • Sleep Consistency: Track your bedtime and wake time consistency to help stabilize energy levels. Small shifts in sleep routine can yield big benefits. 2. Readiness Score for Optimal Timing • The Readiness Score reflects how well-rested and recovered you are, helping you decide when to tackle demanding tasks or workouts. With high scores, you can lean into challenging activities. On lower days, focus on lighter activities, like planning your Qigong sequences or managing tasks for your subscription service. 3. Daily Movement and Training Readiness • Use your Activity and Movement scores to track daily physical activity and assess if you’re achieving optimal movement without overtraining. For you, this balance is key—overdoing it could impact your Qigong practice or music focus, while under-training might reduce your productivity and energy. 4. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) for Stress Resilience • Monitor HRV trends as a measure of your nervous system’s adaptability and stress resilience. For example, a drop in HRV could signal a need to ease up, incorporate breathwork, or use grounding techniques. 5. Mindful Tracking of Sleep, Recovery, and Qigong Effects • Track how different Qigong routines, breathwork, and diet impact your overall metrics. This personalized data can help you fine-tune your practice to align with your recovery, alertness, and energy goals. 6. Temperature Variability as an Insight into Health • If your ring detects fluctuations in your body temperature, it could signal stress, fatigue, or even illness. Use this as an early cue to prioritize rest and recovery. Let your Oura ring guide you in pacing yourself effectively, aligning daily energy with your ambitious goals, and supporting long-term consistency in your journey toward financial independence, wellness, and creative growth.

This is the guy who has largely inspired me to fix my sleep score. From this I started looking at devices I can measure my sleep score.

@TruthFreedom Logically, you have your own logic. You can logically view solipsism from two world views. That of materialism, naive reality and a physical external world (this world view does not allow for a metaphysical solipsism) or, the world view that all that exists is a conscious dream. When you dream, you can speak to other people but you don’t use “logic” to say they exist. From the metaphysical solipsism lens, your life is a dream dreamed by you only. Others, including you, and any causality applied is all the same dream. All in your mind. In the end, solipsism is a mostly useless awakening. You won’t know if it is true with logic. Because it reality is a dream, which it is, you materialistic and dualistic logic can only slice up the dream.

Good don’t believe it. If solipsism is true, everyone is you. Other people with their own unique thoughts, are included in the bubble of experience. Whatever you have experienced up to this point in life doesn’t change. (hehe, can you predict your next thought?) Logic is useful, but it isn’t truth. You can logic your way to many false conclusions.

@shree Hey. Sorry, the Remarkable 2 lasts for 2 weeks. I thought you meant the ring.

This is an area of myself which I think has many layers and I look forward to making progress.

I do think more social experience, more social conflicts, more rude people, and more self reflections and growth is needed The trigger I had today wasn’t super bad. The guy was being a jerk. Anger was a normal response. But the trigger filled my whole body with the anger energy. I wasn’t able to hide the anger. I did manage to use non-violent communication which was a win. I think in my cognition there are scripts, frameworks, models and criteria which are not ideal for effective interaction in some circumstances. This conflict I had today was rather small. But, it always brings a deep reflective period when I have them.

@Salvijus That’s not what I am doing. I’m no longer responding to you because you aren’t hearing me.

It definitely a difference in views and perception.

@Salvijus Negative Motivation is motivation that is avoiding pain, or motivation based in fear, guilt, worry etc. I don’t need to worry because I’ll have the data. I will apply Peter Ralston’s principles of effective interaction. Being able to face truth, through data and measurement is a healthy and mature approach. That’s not my approach. I am recognizing that sleep, stress, etc are fundamental for being happy and healthy. And living a long healthy life. And being able to be at peak performance. I enjoy self help and personal growth which is why I am on the forum.

I am exploring my triggers around anger. I can be a b but angry and snappy. It’s rare, but it does happen. It can happen faster than my pre-frontal cortex can realize. My household had a lot of fighting. My mother would yell a lot when she was frustrated. I wonder if that has something to do with it. I self reflect deeply on this. Anger isn’t bad. But, it has risks and should be dealt with appropriately.

@Salvijus You are projecting on me a negative s motivation scheme. But, checking your weight with honest intention is important.

Measuring your weight don’t make you fatter. Using a gps don’t make you more lost. Using a budget don’t make you more broke. Come on now…

@shree 8 days! Takes about 80 minutes to charge.

@Salvijus No.

@Salvijus I disagree. If you wanna wing your health that is fine. I am extremely joyful and I love self improvement. We all have different value systems. I definitely respect a more casual and natural approach to living. I am extremely ambitious and want to grow my health and productivity to a super human level.

@shree I own a remarkable one and use it all the time. I’ve had it for 5 years. All my qigong routines are filmed with it as I write my routines on it. I also use it to contemplate and as a distraction free contemplation. I love my remarkable. I want the remarkable 2, but my remarkable 1 works just fine. It all goes on the cloud so I’m probably gonna use it until the wheels fall off.

Like what?

@Salvijus Oooo, a refund. So hard. I make 400-500 a day. So, it’s not so bad. I’ve got an emergency fund, and paying off debt. Overall, my organizing is improving. If I didn’t start measuring my spending very closely I’d never have made the improvements to my finances that I have. That being said, I have lots of improving to do. I suspect the same thing will be true with measuring my health. If I find myself not using it, I will simply return it. I’ll have the knowledge of the device, which will be worth the hassle of returns. For me, investing in tool to maximize my health and productivity matter. I’ll openly admit a month from now what I think of this. I am wrong about stuff often. really want a data driven approach to my health. It seems low risk to me.
