Hi, Stefan here from StudySuccessful.com, a blog about study hacks and personal development tips. I am going to log my experiment here about stopping complaining for 21 days! This experiment is from Acomplaintfreeworld.org. The idea is you wear a purple bracelet on your wrist. Everytime I complain I need to change the bracelet to the other wrist.

I first came across polyphasic sleep from Steve Pavlina and LifeHack.org.  It seemed like a really cool idea, but my schedule didn’t seem to coincide well with the restrictions of the polyphasic...
