operation big items:
operation big items:
- big confidence by considering the people that love me (friends & parents) as well as things ive done that are great
- generally this feels ok; two things
- general increase is better (still certain things it can help with)
- social interaction (e.g. orbit, asking about things, can i come in etc)
- freedom of prioritizaiton to me and not other ppl
- resilience to certain things like rejections etc
- honestly they are connected
- tbh a lot of my confidence recently is from ppl loving me
- marc reaching out
- clara chatting
- jason reaching out
- wes & elie & ada helping me
- eva apprciation
- seeing lora and emmy and andrew and kaden
- the more recent experiences definitely drive me much more, although past people showing me love definitely is discounted too much
- its just that i dont remember them that much
- given a name i can remember specific experiences though (the people who love me list is great)
- such may be why photos / other recording devices than just pure memory may be valuable, and try to make more photos of things i appreciate so its not cluttered
- also, as a defense mechanism for something like resilience, i can just hit up people i havent talked to in a while by message or whatever and chat with them; renews the relationship and makes me feel loved (can also talk about whats bothering me)
- realizing many things are other peoples' opinions and take pride in moving away from it ( )
- (more deep connection with humans that i love and enjoying such convos)
- really intent on rsi etc, only when rejected do i want to spend summer doing my own
- "rsi super important" is clouded by other people's opinions
- "g4g is so good" is clouded by other people's opinions
- "top college good" is clouded by other people's opinions
- "sweets yummy!" is clouded by other people's opionions
- detach!
- focus on the really important things
- a good way to do this is put important things in the mornings and not important things in the afternoons
- "is this critical path? is this a hell yes?"
- interesting experiment: for the next 4d or 1w, only do things that are critical path / hell yes, and bias towards saying no. make a list of things i said no to to come back to after the experiment
- there is a lot i dont understand about the world and i feel that i am optimizing prematurely
- i am young (i have time)
- there have been amazing things that have happened out of literally randomness; doing new, crazy, big, weird things is always amazing
- e.g. the first day of g4g was surprisingly insightful (i did not expect it to be, although it may have been that some of it was because of
- thing; feel comfortable doing so
- SGD (some randomness and craziness and unpredictablility and doing random shit is good)
- this is a bit moot though, because i am already doing this and i cant really control my life that well
- i also do have a thing where i like to list out things and then be happy that i did so and then not do things
- one specific thing i might want to do for this is the prioritization
- many times i will be chilling doing work and then doing work that isnt important, possibly realizing that, but then continuing
for this batch of life improvements, i feel that i dont want to list them out and have myself review them (i was tempted to but its more about building mindset & understanding than a rigid upkeep, glancing at it once will do nothing but remind me of it, and im not likely to forget about such an important concept)
- this is also good because if something like "critical path! critical path!" is something im just satisfying by doing a minimal amt of stuff, then it is somone else's opinion; i should be obligated to go and do it
- i should do what i think is imoprtant
