You are entirely responsible for cutting through your own laziness, addictions, and unclarity.
– David Deida
“a ship never leaves port without a destination (in evening plan all)” (have as quote from the dude; and this is as motivation for why you plan course)
In the evening:
When reviewing day:
When time-blocking:
Go to sleep. Sleep enough.
Then you can start thinking about doing things. You’ll also be more able to do things. And to not be distracted. Good shit.
Do not fall into comfort seeking. That would just be running away from pain, which leads to suffering. Sit on the floor in discomfort, fall through the pain, until you reach the infinite loving core. Use sight and consciousness.
Have first steps clear (back in step 1). Have first steps prepped (forth in step 5).
Since I have difficulty starting moving, pack gym stuff night before and just GTFO of the house ASAP and go to the gym. That is a good default. When able, try working immediately, or maybe just short walks.
Example default:
control attention, control action
- can't find source... me? fat chance
Either do the action in the plan, or do nothing.
To persevere, who are you persevering for (now or in the future).
Meditate daily on that which is larger than life, to then be able to play life with humor, knowing that each task is a mirage of necessity.
When tired, options for recharging are:
All can be 15min and without a screen (list taken from Niels blog).
Don’t spike dopamine prior or after effort, learn to spike it from effort itself. Meaning no YT as reward.
Can try a long midday nap if energy is gone (and to potentially be able to sleep less than 11 hours during the night…).
Example default:
Take care of yourself as you would for someone you care about.
