Except in a sentence. Generally, I think this is helpful. Simpler, cleaner, and still clear. If it’s not clear, or if you’re writing a book or an article, keep the colon.…Except in a sentence.

I love this quote from PW Anderson. More often seems like it should be more of the same, but more is different. It would be good if more people considered this.…I love this quote from PW Anderson.

My experience is that the middle floors in an apartment building are the best (except for the roof deck). On the high floors, you are disconnected from the world—people below are teeny, tiny ants as if watching on a screen. On the low levels, the world is un-shut-outable—shouts, fumes, traffic noise, and people can look you in the eye. On the middle floors, you are distant from street level but still connected—you can still make out faces and hear voices, but if you choose, you can easily block them out and not let them intrude on your environment.…My experience is that the middle floors in an apartment building are the best (except for the roof deck).

Three principles for spending your money to make you happier from the excellent titled paper "If money doesn’t make you happy then you probably aren’t spending it right." Buy experiences instead of things. Help others instead of yourself. Buy many small pleasures instead of a few big ones. If I feel like I have money and I'm not feeling so happy, the tips from this paper come to mind, and I find myself reflecting on what I could be doing differently with my money. More generally, I believe there is a correlation between money and happiness, but only up to a certain level, at which point most of our needs are met, and more money doesn't tend to make people that much happier.

Wilson, If money doesn't make you happy, then you probably aren't spending it right, Journal of Consumer Psychology, Volume 21, Issue 2, 2011, Pages 115-125, ISSN 1057-7408, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcps.2011.02.002…Three principles for spending your money to make you happier from the excellent titled paper "If money doesn’t make you happy then you probably aren’t spending it right."
