Psilocybin. (And I almost didn't.)

edit: instant, lasting relief from anxiety / stress disorder, depression, addiction...

For anxiety / stress, you have to keep taking it for awhile because your amygdala is enlarged. At least once per month. Once per week is great. After a couple of years, I was able to stop taking it so much. Before that, if I went longer than about 30 days my anxiety came back fast and hard.

I haven't been taking it much lately because I'm getting back into software after a mini retirement (growing mushrooms full time), and I don't want to lay in bed tripping when I have tons of work to do.

But now I'm going to try to balance software work with fungus work, and get back to taking it every Saturday.

I want to make it a social thing here in Medellín.

This is gonna sound like an ad, lol, but it's really just one of the few things that has improved my life for the better. And it's not a tech gadget!

I started eating this powdered food replacement called Huel a few years ago, and recently they released a cup-o-noodles variant that's really easy to make in a microwave. Each cup is 400 calories and packed with proteins and vitamins and such. Each cup is supposed to be a complete, nutritionally sufficient meal. It's basically like backpacking food for the home.

Now my partner and I eat these for about 80% of our meals, and it's largely replaced home cooking for us. As a really busy couple with no kids and minimal cooking skills, it's been a game changer for us. We both feel healthier, more satiated (meaning less hungry through day) and have lost significant weight on it.

It's not gourmet food, obviously, but perfectly serviceable. I actually look forward to it. On a subscription, each cup comes out to be about $4. The bulk bagged versions are cheaper.

I'm really glad I took a chance on it, despite having previously tried and disliked Soylent. Gonna go make one right now!

I can't really come up with anything so game-changing. I have to exclude things that came around before I was old enough to be aware of things because I have no way to compare life without them.

I suppose the closest thing I can come up with are ATMs. When they came around, it made a tremendous difference in my life. Being about to do basic banking when the banks were closed was incredible.

YouTube. It's where I get all my home workout and yoga videos.

And Google Maps - I suck at directions.

for me, since I got a smartwatch, it's been a game changer. I use my phone way less now because I can check notifications, calls, track my fitness, etc. I can't believe we didn’t have this before

A bidet. It’s something I really miss when I travel.
