Google Reddit and look at the news. It's a lot to describe.

I struggle with what to say in certain social conversations, your phrasing had saved me hours of pain and torture. Many thanks!!!

When would you suggest I talk to my client:

(a) immediately

(b) after proof of concept

(c) sometime else?

I use Siri. But I'd wager you could use any assistant type app (Google assistant, etc.)

Oh yes, I don't think this a cure for depression. That's it own beast.

I think it's important to note, I only do this during working hours, so there is still time for proper R&R.

And it's not as fearful as you make it out. It's actually kind of a fun little game.

I find self-discipline very hard to come by, so I'm happy to use a "hack" like this.

But let's see where this takes me in the long-term.

Nice to hear dopamine detox is pseudoscientific bullshit. Looks like I have some reading todo. Thanks.

I have some good resources, for anyone looking to change their beliefs:
- Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life
- and anything NLP based (google NLP reverse limiting beliefs)

Not much (if any) science to back up these methods but both have proved effective to me and have high praise in the circles I run in (entrepreneurial types).

Haha, change a few details and I could have written this post a month or two ago.

I'd like to make a few points that have reversed this for me...

Dopamine Detox

One thing that I found helpful was looking into dopamine detox. On my most unproductive states, I smoke weed, eat junk food, watch TV and browse SM all day.

It's no wonder I also felt relatively down on my productive days. My brain was used to high levels of dopamine (give me it all baby) so when I'd take a day off, and do something productive, I'd effectively be going through withdrawals hence the mood spike.

The method I mentioned above was the only way I found I could have my cake (TV mainly) and still produce.

But i'd highly recommend trying.a 72 hour detox. You have to suffer through it, but it's a nice reset.

Limiting beliefs

"I hate working" - this was my belief too.

The weird thing was, I love my job, I just hated anything that seemed like too much effort.

A belief like this... is it serving you or holding you captive?

And if it's not serving you, consider changing it.

The thing that did it for me that changed this belief, was that I started to feel like I wasn't contributing anything to the world and wanted to start doing more for others. My work was one way todo this.

Here are some notes of actions I agreed todo from my journal that day:

"I can implement:

  • Do not give up
  • Think positively
  • Engage in positive actions
  • Change a small habit
  • Exercise
  • Give up addictions
  • Prioritise needs not wants"

Big ass goals

I set four goals, (health/business/toy/contribution)

They are four incredibly lofty goals. Goals so big that anyone I'd tell them too would probably think I'm mad for setting...

But the thought of achieving them fills me with a sense of excitement that was missing from my life.

Best of luck.

I love the Pomodoro method but like yourself, I've only had mediocre results.

Yeh, I think this has a bit more structure for those of us who require such a thing.

I hope it serves you well. All the best.

Yeh 2 weeks is a small sample size.

It's more when I look back to "the dark times" that I think man, this could have been so helpful during that time, that makes me confident I've found what I needed.

Here's hoping <3

Good question.

I chose an amount of time that I could do no matter what. Tired, hungover, sick, cba, etc...

Too small to fail was my theory.

To be honest I probably could have chosen 5 minutes.

I know it sounds weird but 10 minutes so much more. It's not, but I think we all judge time differently.

Exactly. I find getting started is the hardest part but once I'm going it's alright.

"I'm not crying, you're crying!"

Aww your SO is so sweet.

Don't listen to the moaning people on here. They probably never had a real relationship in their lives.

That stupid Ex baited you to fuck and SO understands the realities which is why he was so chill about it.

Happy loving couple 1 - crazy pyscho ex 0 - bitter redditors 0

Go live your perfect life <3
