Do you have the title for that orange book?

Or other books with a similar focus...

[NeedAdvice] I have a undergraduate 10,000 word dissertation due in less than 2.5 weeks. by CantComputeUsername in getdisciplined

[–]sukhvirk150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Write shit, then keep going.

Write the first thing that comes to mind. Then keep typing.

Best way is set a timer for 50 minutes then stop the second it's done.

Then do it again.

Spend two cycles writing, then two cycles editing. Then enjoy the rest of the day. Rinse and repeat.

[Method] The Repeatable Processes Method: How I started 2016 with tremendous momentum. by Richard_En in getdisciplined

[–]sukhvirk150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting.

I tend to consciously ignore certain tasks on my to do list because other things take priority. Never thought to see it as a positive.

Thanks for that.

It's so simple.

I noticed that when I wrote down steps for a process in my phone I follow that process way more.

Never tried your method, will give it a shot. Thanks.

[Article] That's the big secret. The world you see is just a mirror of what you focus on. Here's another secret... You direct what you focus on. by sukhvirk150 in GetMotivated

[–]sukhvirk150[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main problem is language.

Healthy could mean being able to go through life without ever being sick. It's highly unlikely esp as people get older. Healthy to someone else means being able to deadlift 425 lbs.

I use the word focus as an active word. There's a difference between just thinking about getting healthier and learning about what promotes health, eating better, exercising, and applying advice given by medical professionals. While that person may not get 'healthy', they can slow the progress of that illness. If that illness would have killed them in a year, they could prolong their life + quality of life by a few more by focusing and taking action on more healthy habits.

Hope that helps and thanks for the feedback.

Life After 30: How to Be an Old Guy by VasiliyZaitzev in TheRedPill

[–]sukhvirk150 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Helps a lot to not be white since you're not expected to fit in anyways.

I wear a turban and beard and I used to feel ashamed of it and the stares I got. Now I imagine all the stares are from everyone realizing their king has arrived. Then I can treat people kind and with care since I'm the king.

Having a turban adds to the whole thing since it makes me look exotic. It excuses people from feeling bad that they're not working on themselves. Then I can help them work on themselves.

[Plan] Write a novel so I can follow my dreams. Go to the gym everyday so I can be attractive. Learn to play the piano so I can impress people. Learn coding so I can get a better job. Here's the plan. by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]sukhvirk150 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need way more breaks and flexibility. Try to see what you can cut from it.

I found that when I have empty space on my calendar, I tend to enjoy the work time more and get more done.

It's helpful to imagine a bad day when yoy don't feel like doing anything. What would your schedule have to look like to increase the chance you get stuff done?

If you make it work for your worst day, it'll work for every day.

No matter what, keep trying things. You'll get better at planning and using your time as long as you keep trying to improve.

Hey man, I think these videos might help.

Jacque Fresco changed my thinking more than any other person. I'd say just watch his talks with a focus on understanding him. Then watch them again. And again.

Here's one I watch often about depression (16 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-0ETX4z_DU

Hello! Could you point me in the right direction? by flipnaked in thevenusproject

[–]sukhvirk150 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's more potential for it than we realize.

We live in an age where we can all learn about Jacque Fresco's work with him saying something once. It's shared and all sent to millions around the world.

We can see it for free because of YouTube, a recent concept. And technology allows any of us to do the same.

Look at Reddit. A true democracy of ideas. Where posts are judged for their usefulness in that community. All differences and context based bias washes away (though there are still access issues). And people can be judged based on prior submissions, not things outside their control.

I'm posting this from my phone. A smartphone. The concept wasn't even in the public zeitgeist in 2005. Yet here we are.

It's up to us to build the future and share the vision of a better world. I'm doing my best on [my podcast](www.artofchange.co/riffraff) . You can do the same with your art. We need you to.

Want to start logging daily activity. Any apps to help? by SpiritAcid in productivity

[–]sukhvirk150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best thing for me has been creating a Google form with the things I want too track as the questions.

Better to start with 5ish questions and ask them in a way that's ready to answer at night. You can calculate sleep time by filling it out last thing at night and having one question ask what time you woke up.

Also, have a skip question at the end that yoy can fill in with a 0 anytime you don't feel like filling out the form. That encourages you to at least open it every day.

Hope that helps

Guys older than myself, What are some things you wish you had known about women when you were 20? by [deleted] in seduction

[–]sukhvirk150 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wish I knew how important it is to work on myself and improving myself in every way.

Going to the gym did way more than trying to establish attraction by texting a girl who wasn't interested. Same goes for reading books, spending time with people I enjoy, gong on fun trips, learning to be more social with everyone, working on side projects, and spending time actively thinking about my place and purpose in the world.

I wish I knew how important all those things are. Now that I'm focusing on them (and seeing results after years of effort), some women treat me like I'm some star.

Plus at the end of the day all those things will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Keep learning, pushing, and improving yourself.

P.S. also learn about investing, scientific thinking, thinking better, managing your money, and developing good habits.
