SpaceX Successfully Completes Sixth Starship Test Flight

Tonight, SpaceX successfully carried out the sixth test flight of Starship, landing the vessel in the Indian Ocean. The tests were conducted on a similar plan to last month's, but without the 'claw' tower.

However, the tests planned for March 2025 are expected to be more interesting – they aim to refuel the spacecraft in orbit.

The Two-Minute Rule

The Two-Minute Rule helps stop procrastination. Do you postpone tasks until tomorrow? Try the Two-Minute Rule. Businessman and travel photographer James Clear shared a simple and effective strategy that anyone can use. Its goal: to start doing things you should have done long ago and to implement plans you've been meaning to start for a while. The Two-Minute Rule overcomes laziness and delay, making it truly easy. Here's what it consists of.

The Two-Minute Rule

If a task takes no more than two minutes, do it now. It is amazing how many postponed tasks could actually be done in just two minutes or less. For example, washing dishes right after eating, putting laundry in the washing machine, throwing out the trash, tidying up, sending an email, and so on. If the task takes less than two minutes, follow this rule: do it right now.

The Two-Minute Rule

When you want to establish a new habit, you need to start it within two minutes. Can all your goals be achieved in less than two minutes? Of course not. But every goal can be launched within two minutes or less. It may seem that this strategy is too trivial for the grand goal of life, but it is not.

The Two-Minute Rule

This approach works for any goal, and the reason is physics. As Sir Isaac Newton said, objects at rest stay at rest, and objects in motion stay in motion. This is just as true for people as it is for falling apples. The two-minute rule works for small and large goals because of the inertia of life. Once you start doing something, it becomes easier to continue doing it. The rule is related to the idea that good things happen once you start working.

The Two-Minute Rule

Do you want to become a good writer? Just write one sentence (the two-minute rule), and gradually you will be able to write for an hour. Want to switch to healthy eating? Just eat one fruit right now (the two-minute rule), and you can find inspiration to make a healthy salad. Want to make reading a habit? Just read the first page of a new book. You'll not notice how quickly you'll finish the first three chapters. Want to run three times a week? Just put on your sneakers every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and step outside, and you'll start running instead of eating another portion of popcorn.

The Two-Minute Rule

The Two-Minute Rule focuses not on the results, but rather on the process that leads to the results. The main emphasis is on the start. The most important part of any new habit is the beginning, not only the first time, but always, as the actions must be consistent. Try it right now. Of course, it is difficult to claim that this rule will work in every single case. But, this can be said for sure, it will never work if you don't try. The problem with most articles we read is that we only consume the information but rarely move to practice. This information can be started to use right now. So, what is something that you have needed to do for a long time that you can do right now in two minutes?

Life will sort everything out

I always thought that life would sort everything out on its own. That it should decide who should be and who shouldn’t. And only now, looking back, I realize how foolish it was to think so and how many people I lost and let go. We ourselves leave people out of our lives, thinking that it has to be that way and that life will surely bring us together with those we need to be with. In the end, we often stay alone, not because life didn’t bring us together, but because we ourselves once rejected someone. Of course, it's always easier for us to think that we are not the ones to blame for our misfortune.

Run Away If There's No Tenderness

If there is no tenderness between you, no long hugs and passionate kisses, if you don't fall asleep nestled against his shoulder and don't wake up with the desire to spend time together, chat, cook, clean. Especially if you irritate each other, want to spend more time alone rather than in his company, do everything not out of desire, but just because 'you have to'... Why are you in this relationship? Pack your things and run! Don't think about complexities, obligations, and shared property! Just run! Life is one and it should be lived with a loved one, with whom everything is enjoyable: watching the stars, walking, being silent.
