    Tag: productivity 

    The intent of productivity is incredibly key because that's what you're creating 

    Trying to be productive just to be productive is a trap because you could just be meaninglessly being productive 

    You gotta focus on the actual goal/outcome 

    Productivity is just an output

    Goal-setting is a bit of an art and skill. there is a bit of unique processes that goes into it

    I think generally therapists are for emotional issues. Like you need emotional support, or need to learn some tools, you have a specific mental health condition or need insight into something 

    Some say that therapy is for those who are struggling and trying to get baseline

    And others say coaching is for people who have more personal development type issues. Like career, self actualization work, skill development, mindfulness 

     

    Though I'm sure even if you don't have a tough mental health issue you're trying to work out therapy can be useful to. I know therapy could even be used for regular development for mastering your emotions. 

     

    There's also therapists who also do life coaching work. Maybe that suits your style 

     

    I also wanna note that sometimes finding a good fit takes time. I prefer now to do a ton of discovery calls and see which one resonates with me most beforehand

     

    What are you looking for from therapy exactly? That might be a good place to start

    things that have brought tremendous value to my life without realizing

    - good relationships with others. happiness and value is unmatched

    - random courses that i took and interacted with. great courses are so goated

    - courses that have tons of speakers that come and provide value. i learned a lot about the new insights in an industry

     

    - finishing a book completely (with good notes). these structured my psyche still to this day

    - random interactive books that i completed and took action on. built a brand from an interactive book

    - extracting and saving insights properly from videos. don't have to waste time on re-reading things
    - "scammer" type business courses. some were actually legit. i got actionable practical advice

    - focusing on 1-2 things at a time until completion even if it's unoptimal 

    =

    CODE

    - Capture: Keep what resonates & Matters

    - Organize: Save for future action

    - Distill: Boil Down & find the essence

    - Express: show and share your best work

    =

    remember to keep a *clear* intent in mind. a clear intent is very powerful

    The price-tag of my support is that I get treated with basic human decency

     

    I agree with that 

    Just be careful that you don't let some people cloud your vision to like real social issues 

    It'd be like saying you continue to fight for segregation in the 60s because a sect of the movement wanted black people to have the power over white people

    It almost makes me want to ask them, in a condescending way 'Who hurt you?!' 

    In all seriousness, though, it's not these kids' fault. The education-system is doing this to us. It's creating a worse world for men, by indoctrinating students with man-hate. 

    If anyone here is an investigative journalist, please, look into this. It would be very helpful. 

    It's the 2020s social movements, which is messy

    The 1860s and 1960s ones were even more messy. The 1860s was a literal war and the 1960s one had lots of radical sects and lots of killings 

    At it's core all of these movements are progress. They pointing out real issues people go through. There are some excesses though, and a lot of those excesses I agree with you on

    Those excesses that you dislike are not the core nor the major part of these shifts 

    It'll blowover and end in pure progress ? 

    Honestly, in the next 10y, regarding the man hating thing, i don't think will even be a thing. And most women are chill I wouldn't even worry about it now even

    systems

    "Systems and workflows are the lifeblood of any sustainable endeavors. I provide my clients with effective, proven workflows, project management systems, my go-to platform/app recommendations, self-evaluation systems"

     

    what are systems and models?

    why i am so perplexed by systems and theory?

    i think it's because i've been too focused on individual insights without noticing that a lot of insights are actually within a complex set of ideas and thoughts

    single insights individually have a certain set of value but often i notice i'm not noticing the value of the system itself

     

    system:

    - holistic understanding or theory

    - well oiled machines

    - more built for consistency but can lead to innovation

     

    insight:

    - captures important areas

    - more conducive to innovation
