Just once I'd love to see an article that instead of breathlessly promoting ultra-expensive, risky, and unlikely to scale technologies, emphasizes how inexpensive and straightforward processes and procedures are far more effective for global health increase with reduced costs. While some of the concepts in this article may go on to be successful, they will mostly just increase the total cost of care. |

- wash you hands often and don’t touch your face unless you just did
- stay out of midday sun, over 45 degree elevation
- no alcohol, simple carbs, or other addictive substances
- no prolonged seating; walk some distance a few times a day.
- modest stretch and exercise (like hipster yoga)
- 8 hours of sleep; observe sleep hygiene.
- prioritize reducing stress over “making a difference” and such
- prioritize fulfilling social interaction
- prefer a job that doesn’t torture you but gives a modest sense of accomplishment
- if you are a doctor follow checklists
- if you’re not a doctor follow checklists anyway
EDIT:
- plan vacations as far in advance as you can and generally sprinkle in your life something unconditional to look forward to
- try dog or cat sitting for your friends; I’ve found that a good cat is a permanent +4 boost to mood every day for $100 per month
