@Aaraya S for that realisation about the basics, how did you come to that realisation? was it through deliberate reflection or based on an epiphany? i would say you are still a bit too focused on the 'what' not the 'how'. when we don't prioritise how we are doing things, we get stuck in this cyclical state of not being able to improve your productivity levels. have a look at my reflection if you want some more clarity on this

@Rezwan Habib completely agree with your assessment of a good day requiring a criteria. my advice would be to not overcomplicate this. we humans love making these super ambitious plans that work great for the first few days when we are motivated but fall apart the second we get busy. i would suggest picking no more than 5 things to complete in a day and try and identify the most pivotal moments that shape the trajectory of the day. ie waking up and going straigth on ur phone vs waking up and doing some meditation has a major impact on the rest of your morning. some of the ones i would recommend are: no phone for first hour of the day, complete plan for the day, remove distractions before work, and a solid daily wrap up routine to prep for the following day

@Isaac T When nearing burnout, its super important to focus on improvement not by burning more fuel but by trying to look for easy ways of speeding up. seems like the mechanism by which you are trying to make tomorrow better is just brute force which is going to draw on your willpower reserves and drive you closer to burnout. Rather i want you to start looking for some easy wins. anything is better than yesterday so start there. also be concrete with what it is you are going to do to make tomorrow better. ie wake up 7am, immediately have shower and breakfast, before phone spend 20 mins focused making a really solid specific plan for the day which gives me plenty of lead time between tasks so ik i can get everything done, then at 5pm im going to do a good reflection on the day, create another good plan for tomorrow. if you do that, you get such a massive boost of momentum pretty easily

@Rezwan Habib Awesome to see you starting a streak. feel free to reach out if you have any technique questions for your mindmapping or if you want some advice!

@Danny Baca Welcome to Bloom Danny!

@Rezwan Habib Awesome to meet you Rezwan!

Day 20: ultimately what a successful week would look like by next saturday i want to be caught up with my uni work and assignments, i want to have implemented an improved large scale priming mechanism, i want to have made strong headway with the next level of the community, i want to remain closely integrated with the community, and i want to maintain control over how i spend my time, namely my evenings meaning im either reading, going to the gym with friends or alone, or doing something meaningful. i also want to continue to progress my reflective skills to improve my productivity. to do this: in terms of uni, i need to finish all week 4 lectures ideally finish my psyc task prep for the sydney science task keep up with SIR schedule do a large scale re-encoding session for w1-3 content go through ICS content to update approach to priming and large scale encoding in terms of personal productivity i need to spend 45 minutes per day on a daily wrap up where i review weekly plan every day and consult it in the construction of the daily plan for the next day - How? include habit tracker in daily check in message in terms of business finish acquisition.com offers course finish acquisition.com scaling roadmap level 0 https://www.icloud.com/notes/note/UHJpdmF0ZTo6Tm90ZXM6OmN1cnJlbnRVc2VyOjo2MjI2MDk1Yy02MTFmLTQ2MWYtYTE2Zi0xZTVhYTZjZjAwOGY= consider how we are going to qualify leads keep up to date with students, let them know what is happening, and ask them for feedback + what they would like to see

Day 18 🔥 Today: Win - another difficult day due to illness. Did as much as i realistically could. Honestly not much to reflect on, it wasn't a pretty day by any means but i did as much as i could given the circumstances. did well to prioritise the most important work. Tomorrow: Continue keeping phone removed, this was done really well today + focus on productivity by subtraction. get the most important work done first

@Aaraya S Great to see you starting on two column notes. Doesn't have to be right away if you want to practice a bit more to find your footing, but sometime soon it would be good to see some submissions showing what you have completed so i can give feedback to help you refine your technique
