Action Plan
No more advice seeking unless necessary.
- No searching for ‘best’ ‘top’ etc unless stuck with current resource
- have a problem first, then look at advice/research
- define a question before googling anything
- “Advice is useless without context
start summarizing every article that I read (it’s already on the google sheet)
- start scheduling for this..?
adjust diet
- research on keto
- salad and protein instead of carbs and protein
- vinegar salt and olive oil to taste, still no sugar
- NO SUGAR!
- research on intermittent Fasting
Moring routine DRAFT
- Wakeup and STAND. No lounging around
- Drink
- Meditate for 10 mins, without guidance/anything
- stretch with the video thing #TODO add link/list
- Workout (do this everyday and add 1 set per week, increase reps per month)
- 1m plank
- 15 squat with freeweight
- 10 pushups
More pointers for thought
- 30 - 60 mins walk everyday -> commute to office with TJ?
- do more stuff in the real world
- eliminate stress inducers
- pick a bobby and do it twice a week
- look into muay thai
- watch your posture
Do something where small improements can be felt everyday
“Failure is an event, not a person”
- Keep a win list #TODO
Extract the intrusive thoughts
- Write things that bothers me on a regular basis
- “All the bad things that I have done, All the bad things that had happened.”
- Journal the events
- Attempt to identify why these memories are stuck or causes pain
- What have I learned?
- Just do it on a simplenote file
“It’s normal to feel pain in your hands and feet, if your using your feet as feet and your hands as hands. And for a human being to feel stress is normal - if he’s living a normal human life. And if it’s normal, how can it be bad?”
On Success
- Fulfilling relationships
- on money: enough to live on without constantly worrying
On Happiness
- Bring happiness to others in some way
- DO NOT try to get happiness through achievement
- this is a hard way to get a short term happiness
- Find things that makes me hapy, and none of them have long term impact #TODO schedule these in
- meditation
- regular exercise
- gratitude journaling
- philantropy
“To reiterate, the things that work are the things that give you a little boost of happiness every day, and if you find the right ones you can get to a level that is good for you through constant maintenance.”
“Purchase your happiness separate from your goals, it’s much cheaper that way.”
Group people to priorities; time is expensive
- #TODO group in CRM?
- Be kind and caring, with effort
- Start logging events, fill people’s details
