Habit tracking keeps you honest. Most of us have a distorted view of our own behavior. We think we act better than we do. Measurement offers one way to overcome our blindness to our own behavior and notice what is really going on each day.

We all want better lives for our future selves. However, when the moment of decision arrives, instant gratification usually wins. You are no longer making a choice for Future You, who dreams of being fitter or wealthier or happier. You are choosing for Present You, who wants to be full, pampered, and entertained. As a general rule, the more immediate pleasure you get from an action, the more strongly you should question whether it aligns with your long-term goals.

Try to alternate between sitting and standing every 30 to 60 minutes. Bottom Line: Try to alternate between sitting and standing. Early research suggests you should only spend 1 hour standing for every 1–2 hours sitting.
The downstream task is the knowledge transfer process of the pretext model to a specific task. Downstream tasks are provided with less quantity of labeled data. Downstream tasks also known as target tasks in the visual domain can be object recognition, object classification, object reidentification, etc.
The generative method establishes the target model through online learning and then uses this model to search and reconstruct the image area with minimum error to complete the target localization.

Discriminative models draw boundaries in the data space, while generative models try to model how data is placed throughout the space. A generative model explains how the data was generated, while a discriminative model focuses on predicting the labels of the data.
We are limited by where our habits lead us. This is why mastering the decisive moments throughout your day is so important. Each day is made up of many moments, but it is really a few habitual choices that determine the path you take. These little choices stack up, each one setting the trajectory (route) for how you spend the next chunk (pile) of time.
Two-minute Rule
A new habit should not feel like a challenge. The actions that follow can be challenging, but the first two minutes should be easy. What you want is a "gateway habit" that naturally leads you down a more productive path...Your goal might be to run a marathon, but your gateway habit is to put on your running shoes.

…Lithium removal from the body is achieved almost exclusively via renal means. As a result, any medication that alters glomerular filtration rates or affects electrolyte exchange in the nephron may influence the pharmacokinetic disposition of lithium. Concomitant (伴隨的) use of diuretics has long been associated with the development of lithium toxicity, but the risk of significant interactions varies with the site of pharmacological action of the diuretic in the renal tubule. Thiazide diuretics have demonstrated the greatest potential to increase lithium concentrations, with a 25 to 40% increase in concentrations often evident after initiation of therapy…Loop diuretics and potassium-sparing agents have minor variable effects. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have also been associated with lithium toxicity…A growing body of evidence also suggests that ACE inhibitors (a high blood pressure medication) may impair lithium elimination, but further investigations are needed to identify patients at risk…
