> [@ochrismongrelo](#): > > Lulz @ Triple A… They know me on a first name basis! 😃 As they do me, for different reasons! They did all my car-hunting FOR me, after I gave a list of what characteristics I wanted, brought the potential cars to the local office (which is just blocks from my home AND my work) for test drives, and then sold me the 180-point inspected car for _under_ KBB value AND with no commission. My other suggestion for life hacks is a credit union – my CU gave me 1.75% interest rate, and their algorithm for charging overdrafts (if I understand it correctly) is to draw out all the small drafts _before_ the largest, and _after_ crediting your account with any deposits, assuming they’re all on the same business day. What a concept! And if they _do_ charge an overdraft fee, it’s only $5 instead of $25. They have no debit-card-fee, either! ---

Recently, for productivity, I’ve been using the pomodoro method with Focus Booster [focus booster - home; try the pomodoro technique](http://www.focusboosterapp.com/) Essentially, its a timer with starts and gives you 25 minutes to do a task and then a 5 minute break period. I use it in combo with Self Control to block distracting addictive sites, like pherotalk, facebook, ahaha. [SelfControl|Steve Lambert](http://visitsteve.com/made/selfcontrol/) ---

Macadamia nuts, coconut, chocolate and it has hemp! Hemp is hip/happenin’. 🆒 It has a fantastic nutrition profile! Both the seeds/oil have a mild nutty taste and are so good for you. _ **“No other vegetable oil offers EFAs at such high concentrations and, more importantly, in such a desirable omega-6/omega-3 ratio.”** _ And it contains all 10 essential amino acids and 3 T of Hemp Seeds = 11 grams of protein! I use organic hemp seeds/hemp milk on my cereal. I sprinkle the seeds on salads and often use organic hemp oil in salad dressings. I also occasionally condition my hair with it. Not the salad dressing, the hemp oil! 😛 I love hemp, it’s truly a wonderful thing. 🙂 [http://www.drbronner.com/pdf/hempnutrition.pdf](http://www.drbronner.com/pdf/hempnutrition.pdf) ([http://www.drbronner.com/pdf/hempnutrition.pdf](http://www.drbronner.com/pdf/hempnutrition.pdf)) I have a preference for dark chocolate so this one caught my eye because I’m particularly fond of caramel, too! _Mmmmm…_ God help me, lol.

Just made another awesome discovery: In a spoon, peanut butter (whatever you like, creamy, crunchy, chemicals added or organic) a couple of small pieces of dried apricot and liquid Nesquik! Yum. Roll that around your mouth for a minute! 😃 ---

I’m beginning my quest for vegetarian carnivore 90/10 for 2013. I’m about 65/35 now but I want to switch over even more. I really loved it when I was juicing for life and plan to go 90 days this time. Maybe even 120, but a day at a time 🙂. ---

**Pramiracetam** good stuff, i have about 1000 pills of it stocked up, after about a week of taking it at 1500 mg a day you temporarily gain a photographic memory… very good for those in college. I used them for boards. but this drug massivly improves your memory, you can pick the stuff up online like ebay, its not cheap but it works if you take it right. Also it increases your chloine uptake so you might want to get some of that too. I have picked these “hacks” up over the last cupple months so there fresh; IF you ask someone to say the answer to 3+3, 2x3, 1+5 in there head and then ask them to repeat 6 over and over in there head. Then ask them to think of the first vegtable that comes to mind also in there head, 90% of the time people think carrot, the other 9% of the time its celery and then 1% other ALSO ill say this even though it could be debated as a “Hack”… more of a glitch.. If you put salt on vanilla icecream it taste like it has peanuts in it ---

GOOD stuff, the Prami… I’ve been taking Noopept for the last couple of weeks and I can see it’s a bit of a concentration whore. Focus like crazy and on one or two things… 🙂 I do like my Noopept for getting things done. Mmmm… Yes, I’ve tried that glitch, salt on vanilla Ice cream DOES taste like Peanut butter. I also had a thought of Cream soda as well when I tried it. 1Alpha .
