Re: Things I did to reboot my life
#2I've been working on rebooting my life, it's hard, especially trying to get out of a long rut. Eating better, exercising, all of that is fucking tough.
I've had a gym membership for behind my apartment for 2 months now. Tomorrow will be my first day going. I got the membership to remind myself that I have to do it. It's working.

Why not today?
Re: Things I did to reboot my life
#4A cursory study of the greats of literature of the last few centuries, and beyond, reveals that rebooting is essential, and one must be prepared to do it a few times in ones life, I feel. We need to be prepared to abandon all cultural and social precepts, and re-componse oneself in the face of the abyss, at a near-infinite degree of potential.
I think rebooting should be required of a lot of your average (and not-so-average) typologies. Breaking the mold is essential to the progress of the species, and doing it on a personal, familial, or social level. Perhaps this is what drives the primordial desire to see the world burn?

Get a personal trainer at the gym, pay up front and book the sessions in. Trust me, it'll work.

#7Yeah, it's harder than it sounds. I've made a simple list like that years ago, and I'm still struggling to stay on top of all items. Sometimes I succeed and I'm happy, but I keep failing regularly, it's a bummer.
Here's my list:
- Eat properly(no junk food, no coffee, no nootropics)
- Information diet(only "healthy" information during the day, 20:00-22:00 I can do whatever I want. Basically it means no hn/reddit/youtube/movies, reading and learning is fine)
- Daily exercise
- Daily fiction writing(250 words at least)
- Daily coding(or studying anying related to Computer Science.)
I will keep struggling to incorporate all these things into my habits, because that is what perfect and healthy life for me would be like, it's just it's surprisingly difficult for me.
By the way, if you have such list - can you share it?

#8I'm also in the process of rebooting my life.
Central to my approach has been thinking what I want to achieve (quality), in what areas I want to achieve it and how.
For me rebooting has been mostly about decluttering and focussing. So I've ended up with a list of very few areas where I want to excel, and some tools I will use to achieve my goals. Everything else I have got rid of.

My plan is very similar. Nootropics and caffeine are an integral part of my success, though! Haha Have you tried ytracking your success with each of these items? I have been doing so for the past few months and it is definitely helping me pinpoint where I need to redouble my efforts. I also set a theme for each month (either Health, Wealth or Social, cycling through those three). The thing is to focus on mastering one are at a time, plateauing in that area with solid habit formation and then tackling the next area. Can you share what practical steps you have taken to achieve any successes? ie schedules, habits, plans, etc.

#10I've been working on rebooting my life, it's hard, especially trying to get out of a long rut. Eating better, exercising, all of that is fucking tough.

I'm starting with the 7-minute hiit workout. Going to the gym seems like it would demotivate me almost immediately. It'd be like joining a conversation about closures when I've barely begun understanding how to utilize functions correctly
