We believe in a challenge-based model of learning—learning by doing.

Coding

Great for both learning and evaluating competency.

We have purchased several classes here. When getting up to speed on a subject, I like to start by watching a Udemy class at 2x. Hit me up for login.

This is the ultimate challenge-based coding environment.

Sleep/Circadia

Besides making us happy, sleep is crucial for critical thinking and doing a good job.

Try all this stuff for sleep:

Temperature is most important. Your bedroom should be around 68 degrees fahrenheit.
Invest in good pillows/mattress.
Read paperback or hardcover fiction before going to bed. Non-fiction stimulates the problem-solving parts of the brain which keep you awake, whereas fiction stimulates the imagination.
Make a non-caffeinated (i.e. nettle) tea with honey and apple-cider vinegar before going to bed. It will knock you out.
Take a bath to help get your core body temperature down.
Install flux on your computer.
Set up night shift schedules and sleep schedules on your phone.
Set a consistent bedtime.
