 | Cosmic mind hack: When one's focused on accomplishing things, with actions based on scheduling (all 24 hours
 accounted for), there's no room for worry, fear, or "not
 doing", because none of the superfluous things are
 scheduled; all actions based on The Schedule.
 
 We all gotta make our own schedules, yo.  It's the only way
 forwards.

 | i agree doing needs scheduling and doing is enough i think. you can position yourself and reschedule depending on
 current circumstances.

 | yes, i often get obsessed with planning/scheduling that i never start or don't have energy left for the doing. the
 planning should be kept pretty simple and flexible.
 otherwise you start obsessing over the future and the best
 possible conditions. there won't ever be the best possible
 conditions. just do what you're doing here, right now in the
 current reality.

 | but saying that and grasping that are two different things of course :) it definitely doesn't happen in a day and you
 have to always keep on reminding yourself that. i, i mean.

 | i noticed that going with the flow of the stuff to do, means starting to act the very same moment something pops in your
 head, helps building up the foundation of a well remembering
 mind. with this premise you can start schedule in your mind,
 learn to do it ahead of time, and once you built your own
 routine and livin in it, learn to break, and have proper
 feed and proper rest.

 | What criterion would you suggest for deciding whether or not something is superfluous?

 | mermaidman Yah, getting lost in preparation can be a horrible intellectual trap.  And we do indeed make our own
 best possible conditions, by DOING.  The best situation is
 making the best out of the situation.
 
 mohamed Great technique.
 
 welt In my original post I specifically meant "worry,
 fear, or 'not
 doing'" were the superfluous things.  Important things are
 those that are on the path towards living the life you want
 to live and being the person who you want to be, but of
 course this assumes that one already has a "sense of self"
 and generally knows what one wants.  The reason why
 scheduling is an IDM Lazer Hack, is because one doesn't need
 to always know what one wants; like if one were to put into
 their calendar, "eat Doritos and masturbate to furry porn,
 1PM to 11PM", it'd become pretty apparent how much such a
 thing wouldn't be beneficial in the long run ("holy shit- I
 spend 580 hours masturbating to Doritos last month,
 wtf!!!").
 
 Here's a video from a few days ago that's kind of related
 (about how your personal free time is priceless).

 | its a way to get rid of the pressure you get when you suddenly remember you forgot to do some really important
 things. really dislike that feeling of anxiety and shit.
 getting rid of lazyness is somehow connected to better
 memory performance, it seems to me

 | i do make mistakes, mind you. but it seems to me that the more the mind is trained to react (to lazyness for training
 means, for example) and stay focused the more you improve
 the ability to see where you be mistaken, to be less
 overwhelmed by shit when it happens and to adjust your
 behaviour accordingly.

 always have bad ocd with bubble icons (eg, unread mail,
 moves in chess with friends, etc) and wanting to rid of them
 so usually mental pleasure reward to clear all bubbles like
 a game
 
 used that though/workflow with todo app now too.  put even
 mundane tasks to do for day and little bubble icon pops up
 (3) and now ocd kicks in and have to do those tasks to
 clear/reset the bubble icon.   works fucking wonders for
 motivation and getting the shits done.
