Increase your productivity immediately by minimizing resistance.

Will power breaks easily. Will power is necessary but not sufficient. Making yourself naturally want to savor being and work deeply can take 10 years or more. You won't be able to build yourself hard for 10 years without a proper infrastructure that protects you from temptations. In summary, you want to utilize mini nootropic effects and alternate between being and business in order to minimize resistance.

• Establish a morning routine in order to bootstrap your momentum everyday
• Utilize natural mini nootropic effects where you can
  • Take 5 minute break after working for 25 minutes. Set a 25-minute countdown timer whenever you start working.
  • Sprinkle exercise and chores(e.g., washing dishes) between difficult tasks. You can do exercise and chores during breaks.
  • Drink water during breaks.
• Rearrange your morning routine in order to minimize ego backlash.
  • Visualizing for 10 minutes after meditating for one hour is difficult because meditating for one hour can lead to ego backlash and because your body needs some exercise after doing nothing for one hour.
  • Meditating for one hour after visualizing for 10 minutes and then doing some chores(e.g., washing dishes) is a lot easier.
  • Thus, the following sequence minimizes ego basklash.
    • 10-minute visualization -> exercise & some chores -> 1-hour meditation -> exercise & some chores -> business(making yourself busy feels refreshing after doing nothing for a while.)
• My productivity formula
  • Savor being for a bit -> a little bit of business -> Savor being for more time -> a little bit of mini nootropic effect & some business -> get back to business -> break -> business -> savor being -> chores -> business -> being -> ...
• Don't try to force yourself to do a lot of tasks. Focus on winning at the moment. Making yourself do this one task now is a lot easier and a lot less daunting than winning a day.
• Accept that you will need some will power until death. Accept that there is no escape from will power. Surrender. Stop complaining about how you lack will power or why you still have resistance.
