Ask HN: How would you spend $100 a month for a year on professional development?
Health hacks. Supplements, nootropics, MCT oil, sleep aids, HRV training equipment, meditation software--whatever I find works. $1200 USD more than covers my annual health needs for regular upkeep beyond food and exercise, but I would spend four times as much for the same without hesitation.<p>From a purely monetary perspective, I know I can reliably turn $1200 USD invested in my health into many tens of thousands more, but only if <i>I</i> am reliable.<p>Having the right tools helps me avoid illness, depression, inessential idleness, &quot;brain fog,&quot; anxiety, and other, similar maladies. Not fighting myself means I have more energy to focus on my goals, which results in more time for essential idleness, which provides me more energy to focus on my goals, and so on.<p>With the right tools, I can work at peak performance every day, and $1200 is, to me, a worthwhile price to achieve this. Regardless, I wish you well in whatever you choose to invest your $1200 in.
