I just read a fresh news piece where heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is preparing for his May 23 fight against Rico Verhoeven at the Pyramids of Giza. What caught my attention was the cognitive training as part of his preparation. Not the physical work, but the mental side. According to the British Psychological Society, cognitive training is an approach that treats the brain like a muscle and regularly exercises it through games or problem solving. Usyk uses bidirectional translation drills, getting a word in one language and having to respond in another at constantly increasing speed, to speed up his decision-making. He says boxing is not chess and you have to think quickly in there. What caught me the most was the framing. He openly says he does not enjoy training and does not enjoy doing this work every single day, but he knows that without it he will not show up in the ring in the shape he needs. Pure discipline without romanticizing the process.

Has anyone here tried cognitive training drills in your own routine, for work, sport, or just for mental sharpness? Curious what works for you.

Porn is passive. You watch, you’re done. AI sexting is interactive, personalized, adaptive, remembers what you like, builds on it. It hits completely different psychologically and I guarantee it’s way more addictive. But nobody’s studying it, nobody’s talking about it, and millions of people are using it daily pretending it’s just a “chat app.” Are we sleepwalking into something way bigger than we think or am I being dramatic?

So i'm someone who procrastinates a lott and also not very productive in my day to day life. I see a lot of girlies cook three meals a day[ that too healthy with protein and all], do some workout and also skincare. Even waking up in the morning is soo tough for me. I barely have the energy to brush and bath that's it. Please tell me how do i habituate myself to at least having 3 meals a day.

I run an app studio, we produce 5 - 10 vibe coded apps per month, but maintain high quality. Need native Swift + Supabase.We’ve been pretty satisfied with Superapp app builder, but it’s expensive for a team. Any alternatives, same same but cheaper?
