  20. How to double-clutch an Eaton Fuller split box; the most common manual gearbox used in trucks the world over today DOUBLE-CLUTCH METHOD CHANGING UP THROUGH THE GEARS Remove pressure from the accelerator pedal completely Depress the clutch pedal just enough to disengage the transmission and at the same time… move the gear lever through neutral and position lever for the next higher gear. Let the clutch pedal up until the transmission is re-engaged. Depress the clutch pedal and at the same time … move the gear lever into the next higher gear. Release the clutch pedal smoothly and then apply the appropriate power to match road speed. CHANGING DOWN THROUGH THE GEARS Release the accelerator pedal. Reduce speed (by braking) for the next lower gear. Depress the clutch just enough to disengage the transmission and at the same time … move the gear lever through neutral and position lever for the next lower gear. Let the clutch pedal up and apply sufficient power so engine revs match road speed. Depress the clutch pedal and at the same time … move the gear lever into the next lower gear. Release the clutch pedal smoothly and then apply the appropriate power to match road speed. Note: Adequate engine revs must be maintained when re-engaging clutch (transition to road speed). Engine revs must match road speed when transitioning to a specific gear. The ideal rev ranges of all trucks will be within a 500rpm spread where engine torque is optimal. The high end of this rev range will be the starting point of the operation of the next gears and the lowest point will be the previous gear's maximum ideal road speed. This will be consistent across all trucks with a specific make of gearbox. The engines in each truck will be different, however, and so operation will 'feel' different in each truck. Here we can see the ideal rev ranges between 1200-1700 rpm and the corresponding gears and road speeds within each of those rev ranges. Double-clutch Procedure Release the accelerator. Depress the clutch pedal slightly to break torque enough to move the shift lever to neutral. Note: Avoid depressing the clutch pedal too far and contacting the clutch brake. When the shift lever is neutral let up on the clutch pedal. Note: Engaging the clutch with the shift lever in the neutral position connects the transmission input gearing to the engine. This allows the operator to speed up or slow down the transmission input gearing to properly match the desired gear speed to the current road speed. a. For upshifts – allow engine RPM to decrease to match road speed. b. For downshifts – increase engine RPM to match road speed. At the correct engine RPM, depress the clutch pedal slightly and at the same time, move the shift lever into the desired gear. Let up on the clutch pedal and apply the accelerator. Driving operation splitter shifting. Upshift procedure In the following instructions, it is assumed that the driver is familiar with operating heavy-duty trucks and tractors and can coordinate the movement of the shift lever and clutch pedal to make smooth gear engagements while upshifting or downshifting. Always double-clutch when making lever shifts. CAUTION: Never move the range lever or the splitter control button with the shift lever in neutral while the vehicle is moving. Splitter shift- LO Range “L” to LO Range “H” (LO”L” to LO”H”) Preselect just before making an upshift by moving the splitter button forward while maintaining accelerator position. Then immediately release the accelerator, depress the clutch pedal once to break torque, release the clutch pedal to re-engage the clutch, allow the engine to decelerate until the shift is complete. Continue driving or upshifting. The transmission shifts from “L” to “H” when synchronous is reached. Combination Lever shift and Splitter shift – LO Range “H” to LO Range “L” (LO”H” to 1st”L”) Preselect just before making an upshift by moving the splitter button rearward while maintaining accelerator position. Move the shift lever, double-clutching, to the 1st speed gear position. If the splitter control button is not moved, the transmission will be in 1st H once the final clutch engagement is made. CAUTION: Never move the splitter control button or the range lever with the shift lever in neutral while the vehicle is moving. Continue upshifting through the shift pattern. Double clutching during lever shifts, single-clutch during split shifts while the shift lever is in the same position. Combination Lever Shift and Splitter shift – LO Range “H” to HI Range “L” (4th”H” to 5th”L”) … (Range shift) Preselect just before making an upshift by moving the button rearward while maintaining the accelerator position. Pull up the Range Lever, move the shift lever, double-clutching, to the 5th-speed gear position. If the splitter control button is not moved, the transmission will be in 5th H once the final clutch engagement is made. CAUTION: Never move the splitter control button or the range lever with the shift lever in neutral while the vehicle is moving. Continue upshifting through the shift pattern Double-clutching during lever shifts, single-clutch during split shifts while the shift lever is in the same position. Splitter shift – HI Range “L” to HI Range “H” (5th L to 5th H) Preselect just before making an upshift by moving the button forward while maintaining accelerator position. Then, immediately release the accelerator, depress the clutch pedal once to break torque, release the pedal to reengage the clutch, allow the engine to decelerate until the shift is complete. Continue driving or upshifting. The transmission shifts from “L” to “H” when synchronous is reached. Combination Lever shift and Splitter shift – HI Range “H” to HI Range “L” (5th H to 6th L) Move the splitter control button into the rearward position. Move the shift lever, double-clutching, to the 5th-speed gear position. If the splitter control button is not moved, the transmission will be in 6th H once the final clutch engagement is made. Continue upshifting through the shift pattern Double-clutching during lever shifts, single-clutch during split shifts while the shift lever is in the same position. Downshift Procedure Splitter shift – HI Range “H” to HI Range “L” (8th H to 8th L) Preselect just before making a downshift by moving the splitter button rearward while maintaining accelerator position. Then. Immediately, release the accelerator, depress the clutch pedal once to break torque, release the pedal to reengage the clutch, accelerate the engine until the shift is complete. Continue driving or downshifting. The transmission shifts from “H” to “L” when synchronous is reached. Combination Lever shift and Splitter shift – HI Range “L” to HI Range “H” (7th L to 6th H) Preselect just before making a downshift by moving the button forward while maintaining accelerator position. Then, immediately, move the shift lever, double clutching, to the next lower gear position. If the splitter control button is not moved, the transmission will be in 6th “L” once the final clutch engagement is made. Continue downshifting through HI range. Double-clutching during lever shifts, single-clutch during split shifts while the shift lever is in the same position. Combination Lever shift and Splitter shift – HI Range “L” to LO Range “H” (5th L to 4th H) … (Range shift) Preselect just before making a downshift by moving the button forward while maintaining accelerator position. Push the range lever down, immediately move the shift lever, double-clutching, to the next lower gear position. If the splitter control button is not moved, the transmission will be in 4th “L” once the final clutch engagement is made. Continue downshifting through LO Range. Double-clutching during lever shifts, single clutching during split shifts while the shift lever is in the same position. Splitter shift – LO Range “H” to LO Range “L” (4th H to 4th L) Preselect just before making a downshift by moving the button rearward while maintaining accelerator position. Then, immediately, release the accelerator, depress the clutch pedal once to break torque, release the pedal to reengage the clutch, accelerate the engine until the shift is complete. Continue driving or downshifting. The transmission shifts from “H” to “L” when synchronous is reached. Combination Lever shift and Splitter shift – LO Range “L” to LO Range “H” (4th L to 3rd H) Preselect just before making a downshift by moving the button forward while maintaining accelerator position. Then, immediately move the shift lever, double-clutching, to the next lower gear position. If the splitter control button is not moved, the transmission will be in 3rd “L” once the final clutch engagement is made. Continue downshifting through LO range, Double-clutching during lever shifts, single-clutching during split shifts while the shift lever is in the same position. 1.

  21. 0:00 Intro This episode will cover Augusts' bullet planner/journal which is part of his morning start-up routine. Through this, there is a morning start-up and an end-of-day wind down at the end of the workday. This functions as the two bookends to the workday Mon-Friday. The last 2 videos were about mindset and identity sculpting, this will show you where that fits into the day and how to get it done every morning, giving context to them. The videos before that were about how to plan the day and use the Notion PPV system to schedule a day that will be highly effective consistently, this is very much tied to that. It will pull from the information that we prepared the night before so we have a game plan in place when we sit down at our desk. How you start a day matters a LOT; the first 10% of how you do anything will have a disproportionally large impact on the remaining 90%. This is why we do an annual review to kick off the year, but also a morning start-up ritual to try and get off on the right foot and frame the day. This will take somewhere between 10-20 minutes to do each morning, this will actually save you time later on. This is designed to set up the day and then to have accountability to make sure you follow through on the things you set up. 2:34 System Context In the Action Zone, we can see the daily tracking area which is what we will focus on in this episode. We will look at the template that we walk through to complete it, if you want to see how the database is built look at one of the previous videos 'Daily data tracking in Notion' 3:28 New Day Template Creating this from a filtered database view the date is automatically entered The title is entered as the date Connect to the week's database so it will rollup for review Nothing is entered into the properties fields (there are many and can be hidden 5:36) 6:00 Embedded In-Line Property Entry The morning start-up has the Daily Tracking database embedded filtered for the current day which gives us a slice of the database filtered for the page we're in. You can select which properties are visible in this embed of the database allowing you to enter data easily in the correct sequence throughout the day. Entering sleep times and other biometric data with formulas to calculate hours and minutes (saves time) 10:17 Start-up Framework Gratitude The gratitude practice is a little different from things you will usually hear, but it's guaranteed that this will be more effective. Everyone will tell you to list 3 things you are grateful for, but it won't be powerful if you simply list things down without connecting with them. Pick one thing that you are genuinely grateful for and connect with it in a meaningful way. What would make today great? 11:50 List 2 or 3 things that you believe will make your definition of the day being a success if you get done. To help you define those things there is a toggle to see your action items on that day. Not to do list 12:50 This is just as important as your to-do list You know what has been derailing you for the last few days There is a toggle that will open a filtered view of the improvements you've listed over the last week Mindset 13:55 This is where we do our mindset and identity sculpting practice. The past 2 videos covered how we do that. Visualization 14:45 Visualize challenging things you are about to attempt flawlessly or visualize what you are going to do today. Design a mental path that you will follow through. At the end of the morning routine, August has 2 checks 15:55 17:05 Mid-Day Throughout the day there is a habit tracker to click through, this is also visible on the action zone but it's here in case it's missed and you want to enter things at the end of the day. 17:43 End of Day Wind-Down List end-of-day wins so you don't get too down on yourself for the things that didn't go the way you wanted. You always have some wins to recognize. Ideally, you will be listing what you wrote under 'what would make today great?' Finally, there is a filtered view of the daily tracking database again for the remaining properties. Rating of the percentage of time you spent doing the things you planned This will rarely be 100%, even if you only manage 70% or so, things will be moving forward positively for you. Rating for the percent of what you planned to achieve you managed to output Tracking this will help you identify problems with motivation and alignment with your goals should they arise and give you the opportunity to deliberately make decisions for where you intend to go. You can quickly list things you could have done better in the improvements section 22:15 All of this rolls up into the weekly review template and then the monthly reviews thereafter giving you profound insight into what you are doing or not doing well. 24:42 Closing Thoughts This was a nice companion video to the daily tracking video we did earlier, but also with the habits and routines video, mindset and identity sculpting video, daily planning videos, and the weekly/monthly review videos. This bullet planner/journal in the morning start-up routine connects to a lot of pieces throughout the system. This is what makes the Notion PPV system so powerful; completing one element fuels and enhances so many other parts of the system which is how a good system design works. All of this frames up our psychology, behaviors, actions, and ultimately the trajectory of our lives.
  22. 0:00 Intro This is a highly requested episode that will be broken into 2 parts: Key Insights on Mindset Mindset Practice in Notion The next video (removed) will look at identity sculpting in Notion 0:26 Mindset Framing This video will cover how to shape our mindsets so our framework on the world is as effective as possible, so we can achieve the things we want to achieve in life. We are all perpetually changing, we are not fixed states, the question is not who am I, but who am I becoming. We can shape our mindset so that it becomes one that helps us rather than hurts us If we don't do this consciously we will often end up with mindsets that are self-destructive, putting us in negative feedback loops. How you view the world has an enormous impact on what you do with your days, hours and weeks, and months. So few people realize that we have control over this if we take it. It's critical to realize first that everything you do is dependent on it, and your success or failure at anything you want to achieve is dependent on it. Secondly, you can change it, shape it and make it what you want it to be and what you need it to be but this must be done actively. 3:30 How to Approach Mindset If you take action and do a little bit every day it will slowly change; classic habit building and implementation. You have to give yourself evidence for you to believe the mindset you are trying to create. By doing the things you tell yourself you're going to do the evidence accrues over time and you will start to believe it and accept it, in the way that you see the world. 4:14 This Approach This is a very simple part of the system, it's just a page. This is all about identifying the things that you want to be shaping your life and shaping how you engage with the world. Often we hear pieces of wisdom and completely forget about them and drift far away from them. The entire purpose of the mindset practice in the Notion PPV system is just to keep those ideas, nuggets, insights, and wisdom in mind and part of your day and worldview. Keep in mind this example is just a very simple explanation of this process. So much of the PPV system is your life around it and what you fill it with, what we have covered so far is just the skeletal structure of the system. Here we will just look at the skeletal component of mindset in the PPV system. Over the year we will look at what mindset really is in a practical sense. There are many ways to see the world, and many of them are equally true, some of them will hurt you and some of them will help you. You want to choose ones that are going to serve you. Notion setup is easy, what is difficult is the psychology and consistency to revisit these principles and wisdom. 8:05 Mindset Proactive in Notion In the Action Zone, we click on new day which will apply a template. In the template, we move through a series of morning start-up steps before entering the Mindset point. 8:40 Mindset is a stop in the morning setup routine, that you want to spend 2-10 minutes on. This is all organized by sections, you can use whatever structure you want Ideally, you are going to want to take all the bullet points of wisdom you come across and put them in here. As you pile them up you will start to see categories emerge; allow this to happen organically. Collect things that resonate with you; things that you know have truth in them and you know if you make your life more like what it contains you will be better off. You have an instinctive resonance with things that matter to you and that have truth in them, use that instinct to identify what you want to stay close to and what's most meaningful to you. This will become a very long page which is why you will want to create headings and categories with a toc at the top, but it will be a wellspring of wisdom for you to drink from each day. Every morning you will read a few bullet points or subheadings as you see fit, simply by revisiting them periodically you will keep them close. 12:30 Examples Your most persistent distractions will seem justified to you. How would the person I want to become spend their time - Nir Eyal The cost of a thing is the amount of … life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run." -Henry David Thoreau Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you want to become. Curiosity, courage, and persistence are the new gatekeepers. Each day is a new battle to say yes to what matters and say no to what doesn't. Focus is a practice. - James Clear. And many more … In both mindset and guiding principles, we are trying to take important ideas and concepts and stay close to them, avoiding drifting away from them. The guiding principles, as we have talked about, are the north stars that you align all your goals and projects behind: designed to be extremely short and succinct. 16:37 Closing Thoughts As far as Notion design is concerned, this is extremely simple, but the power is huge as it will begin to affect how you do everything. The next video (removed) will cover identity sculpting. Where mindset is outward-looking, identity sculpting is inward-looking.
  23. 0:00 Intro This is a follow-up to the last 2 videos which looked at how to plan our days to execute with precision and consistency. First, we covered how to prioritize in our action zone and then how to do time blocking while coordinating our action zone with Google calendar (or similar). We will now look at the current best method to bring Google calendar into your Notion dashboard. We will also look at a few other widgets from the creators who implemented this Google calendar view implementation in Notion: Indefy.co Moving into the Action Zone 1:50 2:20 Google Calendar in Notion Dashboard Visit indify.co, create an account using an email. Log in and you will have all these widgets to choose from. Begin by selecting Google calendar 3:05 Sign in to your Google account that your calendar is linked to; the one caveat to this is you will have to grant indify access to your calendar scheduling, if you have privacy concerns this isn't going to work for you as the company will have access to your calendar data. 4:00 After entering your data you will have a number of settings an options to choose from for your widget. Select what you want. Copy the link 4:55 and toggle back to Notion Paste your link and choose embed You cannot modify the calendar here, it's only a view option. 6:03 Time/Life Tracker This cleanly shows you where you are in various time cycles. If you enter your birthday it will also give you an estimated amount of time left you have in your life. 7:55 Best Weather Widget This is a very clean weather widget that you can modify as you see fit. 8:53 Closing Thoughts Next will be some introductions to mindset and identity sculpting.
