How to Build New Habits with Mind Maps and Mindmapping

Recently I had the opportunity to read a fantastic book on habits and how they really work backed with some scientific research. What really stood out how the author was able to break down habits into different components that would make it much easier to adapt new habits and change old ones. With help of mind maps building new habits has become even easier. Here’s how. Quick Summary Each habit consists of a cue, routine and a reward.Mind maps support you in planning your habit and effectively overseeing it.Each mind map will have a branch for each habit component.Specify your plan of action and details in your mind map. Habits 101: The Habit Loop In the book The Power of Habit, author Charles Duhigg writes how each habit can be broken down into different parts and I’m going to borrow his framework for this post.

Hosting a static site on Amazon S3: ec2instances.info | powdahound.com Amazon added the ability to host static sites on S3 recently so to try it out I made a small site comparing the different types of EC2 instances: www.ec2instances.info . It’s not much of a site but it was the only thing in my ideas list that didn’t require some sort of database backend. The setup was very simple: Buy the domain ( name.com is so much nicer than GoDaddy by the way). Point domain’s nameservers at my slicehost account. Add a new DNS domain in slicehost and add a single CNAME record with a name of ‘www’ and data of ‘s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com.’ Updating the site is easy – just select the file in Cyberduck and click the ‘Edit’ icon in the toolbar (or hit ⌘K) and it will automatically upload the file whenever you save. Overall it seems like a great way to host a static site on the cheap (~$1.50/year for this). Note: I tried to use Amazon’s new Route 53 DNS service instead of my slicehost account but the configuration is still a bit more involved than I’d like.

Finally, RollCallMe can be used in place of a business card by everyone attending the PTA meeting. How We Built it: Technology wise, we coded it in Ruby on Rails, designed the front end using Bootstrap from Twitter, hooked up Stripe to process credit cards, and we run all our text messages through Twilio. Dogpatch Labs is by no means normal. When we needed a designer, we just walked across the room. What I learned First, talented developers are critical to starting any project. To create your own RollCallMe list: 1.
