  • 018: 3 WAYS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR DAY

    In this episode, I explain the tactics I use throughout my daily life in-order to immerse myself in productivity and work. The 3 tactics has helped me through my life significantly and it pushes me to get work done no matter the occasion and I'm here to spread it.


    Notes:

    Attention - the act or state of applying the mind to something

    Focus - the main or central point of something

    Speed - rate at which something moves or happens

    Attention residue - We can’t go from one thing to another thing. Our mind will always have some “residue” a part of us will recall from the previous thing we were doing.

    Think of it as the sims, you want to maximize the most you can out of your day otherwise are you gonna let your sims slack off, what’s the point

    You are your own general the one that has to put yourself in your position

    Use school as a thought with the clock and how you’re enforced

    “Focus on the possibilities for success, not on the potential for failure” - Napoleon Hill

  • 017: DARKSIDE OF SELF HELP / QNA WITH AI

    In this episode, I ask AI to give me 8 reasons why self improvement is bad and shouldn't be done. I also include my own reasons on why it's a difficult journey. Overall I still agree on with the thought of self improvement being the journey of all.


    Notes:

    If you’re not growing you’re dying

    Atomic Habits 1% a day = 365% a day

    You no longer relate to friends and family members

    Comparing myself to others

    Impatience

    Become consumed with learning

    1. **Uncomfortable Self-Reflection:** True self-improvement often requires deep introspection and confronting aspects of oneself that may be uncomfortable or painful.
    2. **Fear of Change:** Even positive change can be frightening. The fear of the unknown or fear of failure can create resistance to the very improvements that are sought.
    3. **Loneliness:** The path of self-improvement can be solitary. Friends and family might not always understand or support the changes, leading to a sense of isolation.
    4. **Setbacks and Failures:** Failure is an inherent part of growth. Not every attempt at self-improvement will succeed, and setbacks can be disheartening.
    5. **Unrealistic Expectations:** The self-help industry sometimes promotes quick fixes and instant transformations, setting unrealistic expectations. Genuine self-improvement is often a gradual and ongoing process.
    6. **Comparisons and Insecurities:** Engaging in self-improvement can sometimes exacerbate feelings of inadequacy when comparing oneself to others who seem to have achieved more or progressed faster.
    7. **Potential for Obsession:** The pursuit of self-improvement can turn into an obsession, leading to an unhealthy focus on flaws and constant striving for unattainable perfection.
    8. **Loss of Authenticity:** In the quest for improvement, there's a risk of losing one's authentic self. Trying to conform to external ideals may lead to a loss of individuality.
    9. **Overemphasis on External Validation:** Seeking validation from others for personal growth achievements can create a dependence on external approval, undermining the intrinsic value of self-improvement.
    10. **Financial Exploitation:** The self-help industry is vast, and not all products or services are genuinely helpful. Some individuals may exploit the desire for improvement for financial gain without delivering substantial benefits.
    11. **Burnout:** Intense focus on self-improvement without considering the need for balance and self-care can lead to burnout and fatigue.
    12. **Never-Ending Journey:** The pursuit of self-improvement may not have a definitive endpoint. The constant desire for progress can become exhausting, and the goalposts may keep shifting.

  • 016: MASTER LIFE BEFORE AFTERLIFE

    In this episode, we unravel the path to self-improvement and mastering life. Discover the strategies and insights that will empower you to achieve your goals, lead a fulfilling life, and unlock your true potential.

    Notes:

    Master your life

    Deconstruct yourself, un mask

    It’s not always good to learn new information but sometimes it’s best to re-condition what we have learned

    Social skills are a combination of various smaller skills, such as active listening, empathy, communication, assertiveness, and emotional intelligence. By breaking down social skills into these components, you can work on improving each one individually.

    little habits make one big one, its not about big changes in life its those little ones that form a big one.

    pick a craft and dedicate ur life to it, dedicate to be the top 1% on it.

    Master your mind by meditation, visualizing, and affirmations,

    master your body, by gym, yoga, mind muscle connection,

    if a strategy fails, alter the course not the goal,

    “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change” Wayne Dyer

    QOTD = Everything’s destiny is to change, to be transformed, to perish. So that new things can be born. marcus aurelius

    Fractals are self replicating

    Mental patterns often follow patterns in our daily lives,

    Everything is everchanging,

    Instead of focusing on the change, focus on how to change that pattern

    your past self isn't going to be the same as your future self
