one thing that I would say is if you are building a product, or if you are trying to achieve anything, try to do it quickly, and make quick decisions, and move fast... Not just so that you will make progress fast, but when something kind of slows down... Like, if I was a year into Actual - when you've been doing something for a while, it's really easy to just keep that pace. It's really hard to -- I don't know, if I have a problem on my house, like fixing a toilet that's been broken for a year, there's something about the psychology of it that's like "I'll fix it next week. It's already been a year, I'll fix it next week." Whereas if it broke yesterday, I'll probably go out to Lowe's this weekend, come back, it's a 15-minute fix, and I'll fix it, right? There's some psychology there that's interesting, where if you aren't acting on things fast, they just sort of become this pile of responsibility behind you that you just sort of ignore. I think that's one thing that sort of happened, to me at least. It's like, "I've already been working on this for so long... Let's just keep building a couple more things."

The start of the idea is if you've got a broken window, you can fix it right now. Because if you leave that broken window broken, I think it's a signal, and maybe a signal to the outsiders that no one's taking care of this house, or something. But also, it's kind of like, you know, then the next thing breaks, and you're like, "Well, the window's already broken, too." It's kind of like "Well, I'm already not taking care of this, and so..." Adam Stacoviak: \[32:18\] Yeah. Jerod Santo: Oh, here, we've got "Neglect accelerates the rot faster than any other factor." That's Jeff Atwood talking about the broken window theory, so I've found it a little bit. So there's a little bit of that going on there. I definitely understand how that is. Adam Stacoviak: It's a metaphor that leads to the disorder, essentially. If you have a broken window here, in this house - well, then your neighbor is gonna be okay with their lawn being not so good. Or your neighbors don't want to deal with their landscaping, so you don't... It's almost like osmosis, in a way. You sort of do things based upon other things happening around you... It's disorder that happens because of other disorder. It's kind of like that.

When a machine actsup, ten to one it is due to your own neglect.

what’s also evident is what he didn’t seem to get: appropriate attachment—the strong and requisite bond between a parent and a child that leads to a healthy life and without which children can die or be damaged.

No, it was too difficult. “I’ll—I’ll go with them, and write to William later. Some other time. Later. Not now. But I shall certainly write,” thought Isabel hurriedly.

Immune neglect describes another failure of affective fore-casting, specifically around predicting our ability to cope with adverse outcomes.

Internalization of anger can cause heart problems. As the Levenson study above shows, holding in your anger takes a toll on your heart. If you grow up in a household that is intolerant of your anger, ignores your anger, or fails to name, discuss or validate the reasons for your anger, you learn only one way to deal with it: wall it off. This may allow you to cope as a child, but it can harm your heart. Sensitivity to stress can cause back problems or headaches. What makes you sensitive to stress? Not dealing with your feelings. When you wall off your fear, your insecurity, your uncertainty, your anger, sadness, or hurt, those feelings do not go away. They simply pool together on the other side of the wall, waiting for something to touch them off. Then, when it happens, they all surge at you, making you feel overwhelmed and stressed. So going through your life with your feelings blocked makes you more sensitive to stress. Lack of self-awareness makes you vulnerable to poor habits. Families who don’t notice what their child is feeling miss getting to know their child on a deeply personal level. So they sadly remain unaware of who their child really is. I have seen, over decades of treating Childhood Emotional Neglect, that if your parents don’t see you, you do not learn that you are worth looking at. You grow up to be unaware of your own needs, and deep down you don’t realize that your needs even matter. You then are vulnerable to eating or sleeping too much or too little, drinking too much, or engaging in other behaviors that can harm your health. 3 Steps to Stop Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) From Harming Your Health Start paying attention to your feelings as you go through your day.
