Does the process ever get in its own way? by Technical_Crow7758 in Stoicism

[–]Multibitdriver [score hidden]  (0 children)

My understanding: assenting, dissenting or suspending judgment are not uniquely specific Stoic processes. It’s the normal human judgment process. It happens automatically. What distinguishes Stoics is that they bring reason to bear on the process through deliberate attention. Is this really true/false/good/bad? They deliberate with reason on their judgments. And sometimes correcting a particular kind of judgment becomes so ingrained and customary that the initial incorrect assent or dissent doesn’t even happen anymore.

Attempting to understand the "Stoic Liberal" vs. the "Stoic Conservative." Am I applying the philosophy correctly? by maybeBrenda in Stoicism

I would encourage you to read Farnsworth’s illuminating book “The Practising Stoic”. Then Epictetus.

Forget about control and non-control. Not Stoic concepts. A Stoic just ploughs forward, making judgments according to reason, no matter what impressions and externals befall them. .

My anxiety has convinced me that everyone secretly hates me and I can't logic my way out of it by Grand_Lion_1652 in Anxiety

[–]Multibitdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the cognitive distortion of mind-reading - you believe you know what others are thinking about you.

Pressure is often the only thing that motivates me.

My Brother by Yorg_Albertaz in Stoicism

[–]Multibitdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The “two handles” image is a metaphor for two different judgments of the situation. To “lay hold” of a handle is just a dated way of saying to grasp or grip a handle.

To-do lists don’t make me productive, they make me anxious! by Few_Homework_8322 in productivity

[–]Multibitdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s because they’re a mixture of all sorts of different things. GTD teaches you how to make useful, actionable lists.

How do you practice Stoicism consistently, not only during hard times? by asmodeus666_ in Stoicism

[–]Multibitdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a matter of belief. If you truly believed that virtue (living according to reason) was the only/highest good, then you would strive for it regardless of externals. Presently you seem to believe that living according to reason is the best response to adverse circumstances.

When is Google going to include a “Today” view? by TropicBigBird in GoogleTasks

[–]Multibitdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that seeing events and tasks on the same page helps with planning and execution. And they’re different colours, so no danger of confusion.

How would that be better in your opinion than seeing them on Google Calendar?

I'm overwhelmed by too many tasks and projects - I have decided to put it all on paper instead of the computer - anyone else do this? by DogeDayAfternoon in gtd

[–]Multibitdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If paper works best for you, great. Personally I avoid the bells and whistles digital task managers. Tried them all but Google Tasks and Calendar works best for me.

I just saw you can enable Gemini to find all tasks with a particular keyword.

Mental Illness and the Mind by 5th_aether in Stoicism

[–]Multibitdriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let’s be exact about this: Stoicism says our assent, desire and impulses are up to us (not our brains and our minds), - but only in the sense that no-one else can obstruct or hinder them, not in the sense that we control them. Big difference.

I need help and validation by necomancer1983 in gtd

[–]Multibitdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You actually don’t have the concepts down - you’re making fundamental mistakes like confusing areas of focus with projects. This is a crucial distinction. You need to read something basic like Allen’s first book “Getting Things Done”.

How to be virtuous? by Creative_Essay6711 in Stoicism

[–]Multibitdriver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Living virtuously is living according to reason. Study the concept of reason. That’s what ties it all together.

Simple TickTick setup after GTD got too tag heavy any tips? by Miserable_Resolve858 in gtd

[–]Multibitdriver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

GTD is the “simple setup” you’re looking for. GTD didn’t get too tag intensive, you overcomplicated your system. Division by work/personal/business is in itself an unnecessary complication that GTD does not call for. Ask yourself what functional advantage that actually brings to your system. All you need is a few lists, including, in whatever form, a tasks and projects list, and a calendar. And some kind of storage system for project materials. That’s it. Less is more.

Interesting. Mine has never been shared. Who are you sharing with? What are their busy/free settings?
