The ultimate form of preparation is not planning for a specific scenario, but a mindset that can handle uncertainty.

In some areas of life, value is unlocked by starting. Even a five-minute workout or a short walk can reset your mood and benefit your body.In other areas, value is unlocked by finishing. It does you no good to build a bridge halfway across the river. You need to complete the project to realize the value.Do you need to optimize for starting or finishing? Are you building a body or building a bridge?

Your net productivity is the balance of the productive and unproductive forces in your life.A great deal of time and energy is spent thinking about how to increase effort, but there is a lot to be gained by reducing friction.A car will travel faster not only if you press the accelerator, but also if you remove the speed bumps.

It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.

Understanding a person’s hunger and responding to it is one of the most potent tools you’ll ever discover for getting through to anyone you meet in business or your personal life.

Start with happiness flushing all worries within the yawn. Feel privileged as to what positive to begin with - greeting your parents, helping somebody, watering your plants or just keeping a smile to face any upcoming trouble with ease.

Gratitude

Thinking Worst, Ending with the Best. If you prepare for the worst disaster prior, then it is likely that you will escape the Devils Triangle easily.This is used to avoid procrastination, as to when our mind needs break we could schedule it likely to our terms.

Premeditatio Malorum

The more we obtain comfort, the greater we start to less value it. Fast routinely, it increases the basic perseverance for hunger.Start the mornings with cold showers, it can lower your stress, reduce depression and improve circulation.

Growing Discomfort 

Start writing on paper the thoughts that come into your mind. This filters your mind, expressing your character and letting us know what our wisdom was in the past. Writing in the morning is beneficial as to start the day we need to figure out what it thinks & how it responds.

Journaling

The hard work always takes time to get swallowed completely. As you finish the toughest task in the morning your day becomes a better easier, with less stress resulting in more focus on other mini tasks.

Tackle the Hardest First

TRS with Luke Coutinho - Psychedelics & Magic Mushrooms

Leaders(Political) Age Faster!!!Stress always ends up ejaculating toxins into your body which result in expensive aging. Your body balance of hormones responsible for skin growth, brain functioning & cognitive thinking.

Stress = Aging

The cure to stress is meditation, to counterfeit the toxins your body starts releasing Dopamine & Epinephrine which are related when you focus on meditation. Try if possible to meditate at 4 AM, mind is at its greatest state to regulate the best of your body.

Cure

Your bones are directly responsible to your immune system. Your Bone Marrow releases Stem Cells, they are responsible for producing new cells in place of damaged ones. Thus they maintain your immune system.

Immune System : Bone Marrow

Stem Cells are mainly released when you sleep, do meditation by putting your body into a straight posture & also Stretching helps a lot in mass production of the Cells.

Stretching, Yoga & Sleep

Starting a task, failing, winning, losing again, reaching to a Rock Bottom position is a common phenomena. People don't need to get depressed, after reaching such a kind of dungeon, RELAX it happens with everybody.

Dark Knight Of The S

It Is biologically necessary, as it cleares out the emotional toxins, whereas for doing that only laughing isn't enough. But crying for past events and meaningful reason is said to be good, but not for stupid-baby reasons.

Crying Is Good

TRS Luke Coutinho #1

It is not always easy to stay motivated and focused on getting things done. However, our chances for success are dramatically improved when we consistently follow a program or structure designed to guide us in being productive and staying focused. Here are five habits which, if practised regularly, will most certainly enhance the process of getting things done.

Intro

Time is scarce and not to be wasted. It is easy to spend minutes or even hours on less important things like social media or YouTube videos. If we somehow knew exactly how much time we were granted to spend on this earth and could see the seconds ticking away, would we not be much more critical of how we spent it? Every person is given 24 hours every day. What you spend your precious 24 hours on influences how much you get done today, influencing where you will be tomorrow. Do not waste it!

Think in Terms of Minutes

M ost I mportant T asks. This may also be referred to as your Legacy Work. These are the tasks that, if completed successfully, will have the most significant impact on the position you hold professionally, or on the legacy you will leave behind – both in your professional and personal life. Do not allow your 24 hours to be consumed only by mediocre and repetitive tasks without intentionally spending time on the things that would have the most significant impact on your life and career.

Spent Most Of Your Time For MIT

Most of us keep a “to-do” list with items carried over from one day to the next. From one week to the other. A better method of getting these items done may be to assign time slots to them in your calendar: Look at a task and decide how much time you will need to complete that task (be realistic). Find a place for the task in your calendar and work on that task with complete attention during the allotted period, undertaking to complete it during this time. If it is not possible to achieve, assign another slot for it in your calendar. Repeat this process for all your tasks, and suddenly you may find your to-do list drastically shrinking.

Beat your “evil” future self – the one who will look for excuses not to get up early for that training session or to not stick to your scheduled study time after work. Please do this by implementing preventative measures like setting your alarm clock and placing it on the other side of the room, forcing yourself to get up to switch it off. For that study session: Maybe pack your books and marking pens out neatly and get a favourite snack ready so your books look inviting and the stage is set for a good session before the time. These are only suggestions for specific tasks as an example, but the point is to get to know yourself better in understanding what it is (and when) you tend to procrastinate, and to implement preventative measures to overcome the procrastination.

Beat Procastination (cont)

Be intentional with your time – you only have 24 hours daily. Don’t waste it – time is too precious! There will always be new items in your inbox. You will always have new things to add to your to-do list. Don’t feel overwhelmed by it all – just stick to your schedule and work through them systematically. And don’t forget to make time for relaxation intentionally. We need to spend focused time with friends and family to keep relationships meaningful and happy. Physical training and exercise are essential to keep our bodies healthy and ready for daily tasks. We must also make time for spiritual activities such as praying and meditation to keep our spirit joyful. Do not neglect the “recharging” time!

There Will Be Always More To Do (cont)

Dear colleagues! Two weeks ago, I posted an article titled The Path to Greatness. This week, we build on that idea by focusing on some valuable habits we discussed in 2018, which will assist us in succeeding on our path to Greatness.

5 Habits for Achieving Greatness

How you visualise a goal or problem in your mind dictates how well you lean into that goal: whether you will be able to meet the goal, how you feel after & your capacity to tackle larger goals.Do you have trouble finishing your run? Focus on intermediate targets along the way which makes the goal feel closer and you push harder.

Set goals that are challenging but not impossible.

Proximity to a goal increases the investment and resources that people use to meet that goal.

Vision takes up more real estate & visual processing in the brain as compared to any of the other senses. We prioritise what we see because we believe what we see.Narrowing our visual aperture changes the way we perceive time:<ul><li>Seeing the world through narrowed focus or spotlight is helpful when we need an extra push to get us to the finish line.</li><li>When we are stressed or aroused in any way, pupils enlarge which equates to a narrowing of the visual aperture.</li></ul>People with anxiety or depression have more attention captured by negative things or reinforcing of world view.

What Makes Visual Field Unique?

Goals most people struggle with are usually related to health, exercise, diet. Runners who use a narrowed scope of vision/attention in races have better outcomes than those who don’t.Strategies to focus visual field:<ul><li>Look straight ahead at the goal/finish line;</li><li>Set a target at some marker of significance;</li><li>And move to the next as you hit.</li></ul>Goal-gradient hypothesis: the closer you get to the goal, the harder you work to finish that goal.Tip: induce an illusion of proximity that makes the goal look closer and keeps you pushing harder.

Relationship Between Visual Field, Exercise, & Goal Setting

For a lot of people, it’s not about getting from start to finish, it’s about getting to start.

Creating a visual manifestation (e.g., vision board, lists) of your goal is effective for identifying what you want, but not necessarily effective in actually meeting the goal.To put vizualization into action:<ol><li>Plan - break into down into practical day-to-day;</li><li>Think about obstacles that stand in the way of success so they don’t surprise you along the way.</li></ol>Foreshadow failure and plan solutions to set yourself up for success.

Using Visualisation To Start

The process of goal setting shouldn’t stop at articulating what the goal is.

Visual experiences change in relation to different states of our body - people who experience chronic fatigue, elderly, and overweight perceive distances as farther, hills steeper.Study findings: people when given a sugary energy drink, perceived their space as more constricted and the finish line was closer to them.How to overcome: narrowing the visual field will help allocate resources in the right direction.

How Motivated Versus Unmotivated People View The World

Tying vision to the process of learning a language helps enhance outcomes.<ul><li>Don’t count on your memory alone, write down your progress or record on your phone to accurately track</li><li>Use tools for progress tracking.</li></ul>

Approaching Cognitive, Non-Physical Goals

If you have more energy, the world looks easier; the distance to the finish line doesn’t look as far.

In this episode of Huberman Lab, Andrew Huberman & Dr. Emily Balcetis explain how to best visualise and overcome challenges in pursuit of larger, complex goals. They also discuss the science of defining goals, setting milestones, overcoming obstacles, and tracking progress.

My guest this episode is Dr. Emily Balcetis, PhD, Professor of Psychology at New York University (NYU). Dr. Balcetis’ research focuses on how our perception of the world, particularly our visual perceptions, influences our level and persistence of motivation, how we conceptualize goals, actual goal achievement, and our emotional state as we pursue goals. Dr. Balcetis explains how to best visualize and overcome challenges in pursuit of larger, complex goals. We also discuss the science of how to define goals and intermediate milestones, overcome obstacles, and effectively track progress. This episode highlights science-based, immediately actionable tools that anyone can use to set and achieve physical and/or cognitive goals more effectively.

Dr. Emily Balcetis: Tools for Setting & Achieving Goals

Tools for Setting & Achieving Goals

Legacy is a common term that is often used in reference to what we leave behind when we have passed. But legacy is so much more. It is about the actions we take on a daily basis that will lead and inspire others. In this sense, legacy is something we can contribute to every day. However, true inspiration does not come through the initiation of our actions, but through the <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/leadership/the-hidden-secret-to-completing-your-to-do-list/415563">completion of the tasks </a>we embark upon. Real legacy comes from the fulfillment of an activity we set out to accomplish.

Focus and follow-through are where many of us fall short. President Dwight D. Eisenhower has a famous quote that states, "I have two kinds of problems: the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent." Identifying, differentiating and prioritizing between these two types of activities is paramount to <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/why-it-is-so-important-to-finish-what-you-start/270499#!">finishing what you start </a>.

A common challenge of completing the tasks that we set out to do is that we are often distracted by other things that we perceive to require immediate <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/attention">attention </a>. We convince ourselves that these distractions are necessary, like immediately returning an email, and we let them take us off our path of completing what is important.

According to the University of Scranton, a whopping <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/success/tca-here-s-how-successful-people-meet-their-goals-20180619-story.html">92% </a>of people who set New Year's goals never actually achieve them. Some of the most common reasons people fail to complete their goals are lack of specificity, lack of a clear plan, <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/living/5-life-changing-tips-to-stay-motivated-forever/270048">lack of proper motivation </a>and lack of proper resources. Below are five tips to help finish what you start:

Something that is important to you must be given priority. This means it deserves the proper amount of time, consideration and resources to be completed. It also means that taking steps towards its completion should not be set aside or replaced with urgent matters, unless absolutely necessary. And in the case where it is necessary, the time you missed needs to be rescheduled.

1. Establish the right mindset

The first step is to have complete <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/growing-a-business/clarity-the-secret-weapon-to-experiencing-explosive/328798">clarity on your specific goal </a>. What is it? Why is it important? What do you hope to accomplish? This will give you motivation and purpose. The second step is to share that goal with others. This creates a sense of accountability and a support system.

2. Acknowledge the specific goal

We often accept staying busy as a substitute for being effective when it comes to <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/living/15-time-management-tips-for-achieving-your-goals/299336">time management </a>. But anything important deserves a plan. What are the specific steps you need to execute to complete your activity? And how can you segment these steps into reasonable mini-steps that can be done each day? When you make positive action part of your routine, it becomes a <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/living/7-healthy-habits-that-maximize-your-productivity-every-day/250639">healthy habit </a>.

3. Operate with purpose-driven action

Psychologically, we feed off feeling like we have completed something. The challenge with bigger goals is it often takes a longer time to complete them. And this is one reason why we fail to follow through. Thus, we need to reshape our perspective on what it means to accomplish things while using the "<a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/en-au/growth-strategies/the-rule-of-one-is-the-winning-formula-for-startups/348251">rule of one </a>." Let's say you set out a goal of rewriting your company's employee training manual, and you know it is going to take at least a month to complete the task. Instead of feeling dejected and overwhelmed every day that is not completed, insert the goal of the "rule of one" to the task.

4. Apply the "rule of one"

Every day that you accomplish that one goal of working on it for 30 minutes means you have accomplished your goal for the day. Then the process becomes about accomplishing the <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/growing-a-business/how-small-incremental-steps-can-help-you-achieve-your/321739">steps towards the ultimate goal </a>, keeps you focused and gives you a realistic benchmark each day. Do the math. If you did only one thing for 30 minutes each day towards the completion of a big goal, in one year you would have completed 365 actions toward this goal and invested over 180 hours. In most cases, many of our goals take far less time than that to complete.

While the ultimate goal is to accomplish the task, it is important you <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/how-to-set-goals-and-celebrate-the-successes/253085">celebrate progress </a>and reward yourself accordingly. The benchmarks give you the objective opportunity to track and acknowledge your progress. Reminding yourself of the "why" keeps you motivated. And taking the time to acknowledge your progress gives you the inspiration to keep at it. When you condition yourself through the habit of right action and begin to finish what you start, you will be on your way to a completely renewed, refreshed, enhanced and expeditious journey toward <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/growing-a-business/6-patterns-that-stop-you-from-achieving-long-term-success/375256">lasting success </a>.

Mindful Self-Discipline

Living with Purpose and Achieving Your Goals in a World of Distractions.

If you want to live a life of purpose, build good habits and achieve your goals, there is one skill that is more important than anything else: Self-Discipline. Self-discipline is not about punishment, it’s about self-respect. It is not about being inflexible, but about living your best life. It is the superpower of focus in a world of distractions — allowing you to overcome procrastination, excuses, bad habits, low motivation, failures, and self-doubt. With it, you can stay on track with your values and goals even through the times when you are least inspired. Self-discipline allows you to choose who you want to be and live by design rather than by default. As a meditation teacher and self-discipline coach, Giovanni Dienstmann has helped hedge fund managers, CEOs, entrepreneurs, ambitious professionals, artists and pro athletes to live a more focused and disciplined life. Since 2014 he has been successfully coaching people to overcome distractions, procrastination, self-doubt, fear, and other forms of self-sabotage. Whatever self-discipline challenge you face, whatever excuse you are telling yourself — Mindful Self-Discipline is a collection of all these years of experience, converted into a tool for you to use. This revolutionary book is a comprehensive and practical guide for you to develop self-discipline in a balanced way — without beating yourself up. It emphasizes the use of mindfulness and awareness as key components for building habits, rather than forcefulness and willpower. If you have tried other methodologies and failed, then this is for you. This manual for living your life purposefully contains: — Over 50 step-by-step exercises — Over 100 illustrations and diagrams — Links to the scientific studies about each topic Many, many examples — all to make it as easy as possible for you to actually apply all this knowledge and transform your daily life. If you have tried other approaches (Miracle Morning, Atomic Habits, Willpower Instinct, Tiny Habits, Discipline is Freedom, Hooked, Can’t Hurt Me) and didn’t get the results you were after, then this is for you. Mindful Self-Discipline goes much beyond building habits, time management, and forcing yourself. It is gentler, more achievable, and rooted in living a life of purpose. Think you are not made to be self-disciplined? Think again.

Understand yourself and those around you.

We spend 3-8 hours on our phones daily(most of this time is wasted purposeless).  Our whole life is contained in a piece of computer with different functions - that's a problem, because we don't quite understand that it destroys our social life and soft skills. We become more addicted to them and exacerbating this venom will take a lot of time and effort.

Rectangle box

Most of us adore parties because it's an opportunity to socialise, make new acquaintances or consolidate any kind of relationships.This is heaven for extroverts and a 'holy crap!!!' situation for introverts)As for me, at one of this parties I got a feeling that this is something like throwing your health, time and money into the trashcan. A mistake that will play a bad joke on you further in life.

Parties

We waste every ounce of our time on social media - giving/receiving likes, sharing posts/images.We don't understand that every time, we enter this SM bubble, unconsciously we destroy our self-esteem and motivation(effectively losing in every important sphere of our life)If we see a beautiful woman/girl:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Guys - usually masturbate(we got to admit this)</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Girls - whether support or hate her</li></ul>The same thing goes for seeing more successful men - but just the other way around

Social media

Let's admit that we always know that we have something important to do, but don't want to do it, so we find inessential things to do so we could forget about those important.This means that you're losing from both perspectives:<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">You don't have anything important done - you don't evolve/improve</li><li class="ql-align-justify">You do unimportant things, get nothing but low quality dopamine strike and wasted time</li></ol>That's the reality.

Procrastination

It became clear to me that everything I do isn't important to achieving my goals. So I made a reference for me and other people to keep us accountable of our activities.

The striking art of wasting time

You can learn how to focus better by trying some of these techniques during your next study session.When you find one that works, make it a part of your routine every time you study.

How to focus on studying

Sometimes you may not even feel like getting to work.When this happens, take a minute to prepare yourself mentally.Set a timer for a minute and tell yourself that you’ll start work when the timer goes off.So, if you find it hard to motivate yourself to start studying, take a minute and prepare yourself mentally.By doing this, you will eliminate the resistance you were experiencing.

A key part of studying effectively is setting specific tasks to work on during each study session.

2.Create a plan for the day

Another way to stay focused when studying is to be clear about why you want to study hard in the first place.Write down the reasons you want to study hard.Try to focus on process-oriented reasons rather than outcome-oriented reasons.

3.Write down exactly why you want to study hard

Keep a record of all the tasks you complete each day.This is important for two reasons.5.This will remind you that you have been productive, which will keep you motivated.

4.Keep track of all the tasks you’ve completed
