Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of September! I hope your month has started well.
Some discussion ideas:
- How was your week?
- Do you have some plans for next week?

Interplay is the program I’m using to learn of HVAC stuff, been learning these past days how chillers work, how to diagnose them and fix issues with them. No company is hiring me yet so it’s a good way for me to learn at least, heard other people have used it to learn and then get NATE certified and then hired. I wish there was a better way like on the job training but guess this is what I have to do.
Grind set of 4 hours of study a day Tuesday to Friday. When I get home I cook eat and sleep. My dream is still HVAC but the pace to get there is leaving me frustrated sometimes. Flip side this interplay stuff is accredited at least so it ain’t useless

Language, chess, still working on State and Revolution. Ran a 10k this weekend and last. 2 weeks to the trail 1/2 so I need to get in a 15+ mile run in the next week.
You’ve got this, comrades!
i crashed and burned hard and had a whole Mental Health™ month, drank a bunch, now i’m sober again and will crawl my way back to sobriety now that i have actual meds
My week wasn’t great in terms of mood but I managed to make some progress. I went running on 3 days in a row. Practiced meditation on 5 days in a row. Did some reading on a few days.
These three habits are now my pillars and it is something that I strive for every week. I invite everybody to take The Moonlake Challenge - every day from Monday to Friday:
- Run for 10 minutes
- Meditate for 10 minutes
- Read for 10 minutes (before sleep)
It’s only 30 minutes total per day so it’s something that I can sustain long-term. After many years of self-improvement, I think these habits are the best bang for your buck. Maximum results for minimum effort.
I frame it as a challenge since it’s more fun that way but it’s just something to strive towards, it’s not reasonable to expect the 15/15 score every week. Let me know if anybody attempts it
