Being nice is a collection of attributes. Quality of your intentions, empathy skills, communication skills, your EQ, integrity Politeness is one of them but it's barely a start Being nice is actually pretty rare, the qualities of it require pretty high development

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 == Tag: Productivity 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 = favorite podcasts currently: - ali abdaal's productivity pod - jay shetty's podcast decent: brian johnson's optimize.me's podcast seems promising: how i built this scott bary kaufman's podcast bill gates podcast diary of a ceo

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

Just stand up to someone when someone hates on men and ull be fine And also stand up for women's rights, lgtbq, minority rights just the same ?

@mr_engineer Check out r/menslib Mens rights but not toxic

Dude what are you reading

@UnbornTao it's incredibly impressive too. With the corruption and lack of development at that time and still those geniuses existed? Christ

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

Dude most countries are blue and ethnocentric. They usually only care about their own country

A lot of advice is inapplicable for sure You kind of need to mold your own path based off your own life and the advice that's out there. It's a very individual process What's great for someone can actually be very horrible for someone else

People look for help when they're stuck, it's better to try to find the root cause and go from there. 'Just do it' has its place but it's not fully applicable

@ZenAlex For sure, I think that's the problem with racism actually People group together a diverse set of people and singularly characterize them as one

If anyone's interested in learning about racism toward indian people in the west, I found this creator showcasing some of its manifestations. Its pretty normalized and casual might be pretty enlightening But ya pretty well made video - Just thought I'd share

Mastery Presence Love Health Attractiveness

You can't have too much all at once You can do a lot , you can get far But progress is slow And you need focus It's better to work hard, and gradually build

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

I actually had a very similar insight while on shrooms I noticed my social anxiety was just anxiety and I needed to feel the fear

They deserve it. Seems like the country is trying to distance itself from colonization I read recently that Britain stole $50 trillion during their rule in India lmao

Pete ??????????

systems systems are quite powerful when you're trying to create progress -> a note taking system makes everything so much easier. you don't have to redo things -> a good guide system prevents you from remaking insights every-time as you can follow the guide. efficient progress -> a morning routine is a great way to start your day perhaps complexity is a better word hm complex system of theories and ideas that make up a whole tiago forte insight -> think like a programmer, instead of doing things from scratch everytime, use what is already available = prepare right. preparing too much leads to way too much wasted time preparing too much little leads to just way too much trial and error get it right I love the concept of efficiency. Jesus people are just sleeping on efficiency. it's way too underrated. in fact. i can probably turn it into an incredible competitive advantage == great interviews to binge - diary of a ceo - jay shetty == check out justin sungs course. see if it's valuable look for scott youngs courses. pull that shit out of the grave

Ayoooo ????

My favorite book lol
