Ok Cred Forums... It's time to stop procrastinating and get your shit done

ok Cred Forums... It's time to stop procrastinating and get your shit done.

Yes, this means you.

Level 1:

Clear your mind, clear your space. First, commit to making some changes in your life. If you want to see results, then you must work diligently towards that goal. Start by going to bed early and waking up early at the same times every day. Wake up, exercise briefly, take a shower and get dressed. Get into the habit of laying out a clean set of clothes before going to sleep. Have a light breakfast and coffee while you reflect on the things you want to have accomplished by the end of the day. Make this your permanent daily routine, even on your off days. Stop all drugs and alcohol, including cigarettes and vaping (fuck your mouth fedora).

Eliminate as many distractions as possible. A well-lit, distraction-free workspace is like a diet for the mind, it will help you to focus on the task at hand. If possible, rearrange the layout of your room or office. A fresh environment stimulates and inspires the mind. If you work at a desk, keep the top of your desk totally clear except for one task you are working on. No decorations, no photos, no clocks, no calendars. If you work on a computer, clear your desktop of all folders and files and set the wallpaper to a simple color (no image). Never end your day without clearing your space and putting everything away. Never start your day with a space that is not completely clear.

When you are working, plan regular breaks and self-rewards. Strive to eat and drink healthier. Plan and live your daily life according to a schedule that includes specific work and play times. Make a daily to-do list of 3 items and commit to finishing the list every day. Focus on one task before moving on to the next. If you're stuck, move on to the next task and return later to the first. No lasting progress can be made unless you have first established a daily habit of clearing your mind and your personal space.

Meditate u faggots. 20 min twice a day will change your life.

Level 2:

Learn how to focus. This first requires you to admit that that you do not know how to focus. But don't blame yourself! You are surrounded by a whirlwind of information, entertainment and endless distractions. You have been trained to consume these things, and have been conditioned to continuously demand more! You have been brainwashed to feel elevated and empowered the more you are able to consume. Yet when faced with simple tasks, you find yourself powerless - a slave to the myriad of pointless distractions. Don't worry. Breaking free requires nothing more than commitment to change, realization of truth and willpower.

For some people, focus is achieved with little more than a comfortable chair and a hoodie sweater. For others, it's a cappuccino and a pair of headphones. You must identify whatever helps you focus, and use that as a tool to get your work done. But beware! Your subconscious mind will try to trick you. Do not fall into the trap of confusing comfort with focus! To a focused person, the most important thing in the world is the task at hand. Nothing else in the world matters, except that one thing. For me right now, the most important thing in the world is this post, trying to help you lazy fucks go out and be productive!

Stop fucking with your phone and put it away. Every task that you undertake, is an opportunity for you to practice your ability to focus. Revel in achieving perfection with your daily tasks. Strive to improve your attention span. Achieving focus requires the same commitment as deep meditation. Test yourself by setting an alarm clock to go off 5 minutes after you have started your task. Leave the alarm sounding while you work. You have achieved the ability to focus properly when the alarm going off continuously in the background is no longer any distraction or concern.

Don't listen to this asshole. Meditation and yoga is for preppy faggots who think they're better than anyone else just because they learned about ''muh higher self''

be alpha, be Christian, be Orthodox

Bump for interest

Level 3:

Learn to love change. Your subconscious mind has enormous power over your actions. It will continuously play tricks on you and seduce you into maintaining a comfort zone of laziness and complacency. You might think that it's a simple matter to ignore the voices in your head. Do not underestimate this! Countless are the ways that your subconscious mind can control you. These ways are subtle and devious. For every voice that you hear, there are a hundred others that you did not. Overcoming your subconscious mind requires a clear mind, focus, and persistence.

Start by disrupting your comfort zone in small ways. This requires making a change to a small detail of your life, one that will push you out of your comfort zone. For example, switch from whole milk to fat-free, switch the pocket you carry your wallet in, switch from taking a shower before bed to taking one after you wake up, or switch the music you listen to in the morning to something totally new and different. The same small change must be done daily, to disrupt your comfort zone and force your subconscious mind to adapt to a new reality.

Your mind will rebel. It will tell you repeatedly that this is a pointless and stupid exercise. Don't give up! This new behavior will soon become your new comfort zone. You have won a small victory when you feel reluctant to switch back to your old behavior. Once you have achieved learning to love a small change, add a few more, then move up to large ones. The goal is not just changing your comfort zone. You are training your conscious mind to identify and overcome the many tricks and seductions of your subconscious mind. Overcoming the influence of your subconscious mind is one of the most powerful changes an individual can make in his/her life. This powerful skill will help you take charge of any task at hand, and give you the ability to force your mind to love even the tasks that you hate.

Cred Forumsro I'm too busy to read all this shit, is there any way you can maybe sum it up in a meme?

Nice OP. Good concepts in here.

Bump 5 interwake

Yea i should probably do this.

Do you have a good instruction for meditating?

Level 4:

Listen to Drake on Apple Music!

I welcome a fresh topic
gj OP

Level 4:

Awaken. With a clear body and mind, you are now able to think. With a clear environment, you are now free from distraction. With a productive daily routine now established as habit, you are now free from many impulsive behaviors. As a simple magnifying glass has the power to bend the sun's powerful rays into a single point of blinding heat, your willpower can focus your mind's power to a single intense point of clarity. Armed with intelligence and the formidable weapon of focus, you are now able to gather your thoughts and take action with pinpoint accuracy. With control over your subconscious mind, you can now break free from your comfort zone and tackle any task. Now that you can see the trickery of your subconscious mind, you are able to overcome its seductions and find happiness and success - even with the tasks you hate.

Beware the power of your subconscious mind! Every hour that passes these lessons will fade away into the past. Every day that passes, these words will become a distant memory, long lost and forgotten. Always remember that when you are at your weakest, the strength of your subconscious mind is at it's fullest. Lasting change will only be achieved through daily commitment and perseverance.

To the fortunate few who have made it this far. To those who have read these words and not merely looked at them: This is the critical point. This is the beginning of your awakening. Internalize these words and they will remain with you for the rest of your life. Focus and accept truth, and view the world around you from a new perspective. We are all puppets. Forever seduced and controlled by our own invisible strings. Your lifelong struggle will be simply to be able to see these strings. When you awaken, you will begin to see the strings controlling you. Once seen, these strings can easily be cut.

Fuck that

close eyes, concentrate on breath / nothing / emptiness , set a countdown for 30 minutes. Use ear plugs. ..

Plan and live your daily life according to a schedule that includes specific work and play times

>play times

I'm already way ahead of you. 6 months ago, to be precise, is when I realized I'll end up being a lazy bum making excuses for anyone and anything just to be able to sit on my ass and do nothing for a little while longer while drowning myself in self-pity and self-diagnosed depression over my sad existence and the dreams I once had but never wanted to work for.
I'm fucking done with that kinda life. Quit my job, back in school, back in the gym 5 days a week, learning programming/making music/drawing in my free-time whenever I can.

I actually liked this. Thank you, wise man!

Instead of cutting the strings I bought the puppeteer and run a business now.

Cut your ropes and you are ded.
I mean you do have a good point, but you're not entirely through with it as it is.

Best post on Cred Forums sofar though. Props for that.

Thx!

Level 5:

Minimize. Your mind is both your most powerful asset and your worst enemy. Surely you will never encounter a more cunning and formidable opponent! Your goal is to achieve complete control over your own mind. Controlling your mind gives you control over your body, and control over all your worldly belongings which keep you grounded to this time and place.

You are programmed by society to desire. You labor to feed your insatiable lust for catching the eyes of others. The desire to collect material belongings. The desire to consume and adorn yourself with objects, brand names and corporate logos. Constantly your eyes seek out desirable shapes. Tirelessly your hands work replacing old objects with newer fashionable ones. Beware of the things you own, they will end up owning you!

Owning an object requires that you control it. The more objects you have control over, the less control you have over yourself. Thus, owning fewer personal belongings means increased mobility and self-control, and fewer ties binding you to this time and place. Focus is maintained by ruthlessly eliminating all sources of distraction, and by extension, all non-essential objects and material belongings. Each object you choose to own must have a critical and indispensable purpose as a tool. It should be used strictly for its utility, and discarded or gifted away when no longer of use.

So why are you back on /b? Gtfo

needed a quick fap while cooling down from my run :^)

I am unable to express with words how much meditation has changed me and the way I perceive my surroundings. It is essential for building focus and self-undestanding. Thank you for all this wise tips.

Good luck on your journey, and thank you for shining your light upon us, bro.

This is so Gard

The entire planet is like a computer now

Arent you a porn addict? I am also where you are but i also realised that i am a porn addict an i havent been able to change thar

I can fap without porn :^)
simply felt like something fapping to something else this time

Level 6:

Refine. For the determined person who desires to achieve distinction. For this pursuit, the most formidable tool in your arsenal is focus. Learn to use this tool for continuous refinement. By constantly refining an idea over time, a focused mind can turn the plain into the extraordinary.

The most valuable and productive time spent on an task is the first few minutes after having not worked on that task for a period of time. Learn to identify the point in time when you are no longer making progress on a task. This is typically when you are weak and are experiencing the most powerful temptations from your subconscious mind. At that time, put the task away and focus on another one. Never focus on one task continuously, without a break, or even intermittently without focusing on other tasks in turn. Constantly rotate your work so that you always have a few things to focus on that are "fresh", or have not been worked on for a period of time.

Steve Jobs was misunderstood by the majority of the people around him. Steve knew a level of focus that many of us will never achieve in our lifetime. Shunning most objects and possessions, he lived in a large empty house without furniture for many years of his life. He struggled tirelessly, pushing those around him to achieve their full potential. Perfection was not some vague, lofty goal to Steve - it was his daily way of life. If you should aspire to achieve this level of focus, you must ruthlessly pursue refinement and demand perfection from yourself. Strive to surround yourself with only those people who share these same goals.

Can we talk?

What about?
I'm back to programming

Ty OP very inspiring, good tips really, I just have a problem with that :

>You are programmed by society to desire.
But what you want us to do, to change, to be a better person, to have the control over our mind and our body in order to achieve goals and dreams, is that also what society want us to do? Humanity is the story of animals that seek change, that WANT more and get out of their comfort zone to be better, etc.

So I want to say that what you're doing is great, I want it too, but don't try to force philosophy in that, it's as pointless as being lazy, life is either pointless or not, you're not Jesus, just a monkey that is tired of eating bananas

How about socializing? How can i fix my social anxiety?

but i like bananas user

How many levels are there? I'm making a screencap of all of this

Lol me too, I want to go studying but this guy really says some good stuff

honestly, these last 6 months I've been way too busy to care about others or what they think of me
obviously I still care for my parents and sister, I'd never forget them

so in my experience, if you're socially anxious like me, get too busy to care about it
additionally, going to the gym/getting fit is a boost to your self-esteem, so is achieving milestones in your hobbies

You are wrong. We have our own dreams and its not wrong to pursue them

So go fap yourself to death, you're designed to eat, fuck and consume, society can give you that in exchange of a very little amount of energy, why would you want more

I also go to the gym and meditate but we are animal and we need human contact

>our own dreams
I want to believe too user

Tshoo tshoo we're going round and round.

When the man that is the driver is occupied, he will become the occupation.
Taxi.

When he is empty he is free, and will be taken as demanded.

But we are asleep, dreaming we are awake.

That's all for now, the levels that follow aren't finished yet. Thanks also for the feedback. I'll continue to refine and update these.

is this a fellings thread?
What do you want user?

enjoy your waste of time calling it "useful" when you just do nothing like a nigger

im already way ahead of you cuz i do all that plus im fit

well, everyone's different
to me, what we are doing right now is human contact, and that's more than enough, I don't care for going out clubbing or meeting new people at all

if it happens it happens, I don't actively pursue it though

I want answers ;_;
Srry for the feels, I'm going to shave now because I've a appointment for a job that I really want tomorrow, so I can be happy, I guess

Ok user i get it, but dont you feel alone sometimes?

I am in law school but i dont have any social skills, i dont eveb talk fluently

Maybe you feel alone because you consider yourself a nobody.

Step 8: an hero, you'll never be as amazing as Steve

I used to, a lot
I'm assuming you're talking about girlfriends and stuff?

to me, it's a low priority, once again I'm too busy to even think about it, even if the chance arised to date someone I'd probably decline since I don't think I'd have the time for the important things I want to do

once I'm in a place when my hard work NOW allows me to have more time IN THE FUTURE (e.g. done with school) I might consider upping its priority and actively looking for it

for now, I don't feel alone at all

Just talk to her about case law. Chicks fucking love case law.

forgot to add:

from experience, a girlfriend won't make you not feel alone
a girlfriend can't fix you, or improve you, much like she can't love yourself for you

you have to embrace those things by yourself and then things happen in due time

Make sure to make a new thread and post them when the new levels are complete. I really enjoyed reading them. It really made me get off my lazy ass and actually try to learn German without putting it off so much.

Yeah i do. Thats why i hate everyone, because i really hate myself

I dont really mean gf, all my real friends went to college

I mean in general, not only chicks.

well, its exactly because you think its a waste of time, that it becomes powerful. You see, OP talked abou building the ability to focus. What could possibly help you focus more than sitting and concentrating on it? When you're doing "useful"stuff, you get distracted. The point of sitted meditation (there are thousands of variety, you can choose one that feels useful for you) is to force you to focus on a simple, yet challenging task.

Totally agree, do you do mindulness?

So what of it? Good you know about it.
Thats the only point from which you can do something.

I bet you are a really kind person to others despite your hate.
You really hate yourself. Because you are not who you really are.

You are right

Humans are pure shit at the core.

This mumbo jumbo OP said is downright unachievable except for mentally challenged mystics

Aaaarrrrghhhh

Fuck... epyphany. You are right i try to be very kind and all, laugh when i dont wbt and thinks like that. I need to be myself thats it. I always tried to be kind with everyone and stuff but it was really not what i wanted

Ok I will medicate.

i just like bananas user, whats wrong with that?

thanks Cred Forumsro...

>Humans are pure shit at the core.
that's kind of dumb, what are you comparing humans to? There are no other form of life that you can compare humans too on a moral level, because moral doesn't exist outside of our own conception of life, you could compare humans between them, or else you could say
>humans are beautiful at the core
It's also nonsense but at least it's positive

Remember Yourself

We always forget.
Focus that comes through self remembering is valuable.
Focus wasted on mechanical work is done in vain and does not pay.

You are a great man, but you sell yourself horribly.

Practice one thing. Not to express negative emotion.
If you can catch it, make an effort to remember yourself.
Not for their sake, but for yours first.

That's the spirit, godspeed user

I do daily, and you? Share some experiences :)

Hey OP, what you have to say about emotions?

They are nothing but troubles on your way to achieve absolute focus

nice add no fap to the list and you're golden, i'm on day 8 and really getting shit done instead of smoking weed and fapping all day

So what do i do when these troubles comes up?

There are certain times that some emotions comes up and i feel insecure and i have to think about it to get my shit together again...

Emotions are the force. The energy.
Thought is the shape. The container.
The body is the conductor. The actor.

Ordinarily, people don't see themselfes as such, in 3 parts.

I made this drawing earlier this day.
Maybe it doesn't say much for you as it is.
Atleast to one in here it will benefit.

They are very powerful. We can be driven to greatness, or paralyzed by them. They can be, but are not always, a product of our subconscious mind. It's important to guard against substituting logic and reasoning with strongly felt convictions that are based on emotions.

Shit that's trippy af, what is this belief system called? Can I read more about it on the net?

I'm not OP, was just messing with you/him, people (well me at least) that want to achieve something tend to suppress emotions at some point

But how do you keep control over them?

The Fourth Way.

The kabbala

Steve Jobs

See any pattern emerging?

Tree of life aka giant lollipop

>Stop all drugs and alcohol
stopped reading there.

"You" cant.
You are an image created by emotions, thoughts and movements.
You identify, that is why you think you are seperate from emotion.

If you knew, that this is who you are, this is how you work, then you knew that there was nothing that needed control.

You are fooling yourself.
See for yourself.
The one who wants to control is the reason why there is none.

...

Sol? Sun?

>Stop all drugs and alcohol
>drink coffee erry day

Well, it is not the same for everyone. Some can draw energy from their emotions, using them to fuel their achievements and stay motivated. Others find that their emotions are counterproductive and paralyzing. It depends on the person. I suppose there are some people who take comfort in stereotyping successful people are emotionless individuals? In truth, we are each wired differently, and find energy and pleasure from different aspects of life.

How do I change my perceptions?

"As above so below"?

>draw energy from
And this is exactly where you go wrong.
Emotion is already the energy.
Your drawing energy from emotion is precisely counterproductive.

You think you are appart from your emotions. That is why you think such a thing is at all good.

You don't.
Change of perception happens when we change how we use it.

There is no need in changing perception. But our attitude towards what we already have can change.

Get annaly pounded

>I suppose there are some people who take comfort in stereotyping successful people are emotionless individuals?
I find comfort in realising that Steve Jobs is not a successful individual
