The comfort we get when offloading our cognitive load to LLMs is bad for us. Cognitive load should exist, and if we reduce it too much – if we stop thinking – we can actually unlearn how to think. Kids who always choose the easy route and copy their homework from other students eventually find […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)

I used to think clothes were mostly about being decent in public. But over time, I started noticing something different. When I wear a T-shirt, I work differently.When I wear running shoes, I walk differently.And when I put on a proper shirt, I feel that I think more clearly. … and to my surprise, there’s […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
In my last post, a lot of people commented that some folks are way too paranoid about washing fruit – like bananas or oranges (honestly, I’m still surprised by how a single sentence can spark a completely different discussion). I mean, you’re peeling them anyway, right? Plus, a little bacteria might actually help your immune […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)

You know that feeling – when you’re so immersed in a project that you forget to eat, or when you’re in deep work and time just disappears? That’s flow. It used to be about creativity and effortless immersion. Now, it’s been engineered […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)

I have a confession to make – I have a strange passion. From time to time, I find myself diving deep into books about productivity. Weird, right? The last one I read was Make Time by @jakek and @jazer. The thing is, as I read through their book, I realized they were summing up a […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
Entrepreneurs fail because they start their journey wearing the wrong hat. I’m talking about the roles they play – entrepreneur, manager, and technician. Each one is vital, yet most people only focus on one, especially in the beginning. If this sounds familiar, it’s because Michael E. Gerber breaks this concept down brilliantly in his book […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
Today, when my 1.9-year-old daughter tried to grab and eat an unwashed orange, I asked her to give it to me so I could wash and peel it if she could wait for a moment. She did. It got me thinking about the marshmallow experiment, where the idea was that patience equals success. But … […]| @desunit (Sergey Bogdanov)
