The One Trick I Used To Work For 21 Hours In One Go (AlterReport#17)
This story is the reason I went from not being able to focus 20 minutes to working 21 hours Non-Stop... Needless to say, that 21 Hours isn't healthy and now I take breaks. My friend, sitting in front of a TV, completely absorbed in his PS5 for 6 uninterrupted hours. Took only two brief bathroom breaks during loading screens, quickly returning like he was magnetically drawn back to his chair. It was like he was glued to the screen. The world could collapse around him like a house of cards and he would still fixate at the screen like a Moth to a Flame. And yet... hours of effort later. What had he achieved? NOTHING Why did his subconscious allow him behave like this? I wondered: Why does our subconscious allow this intense focus on meaningless activities, but resists using this same hyper-focused energy towards critical tasks like work or studying? The answer lies in one word: Dopamine. Lesson: Your subconscious only wants to do things that produce Dopamine. His Reward System had been trained to feel good playing video games for two reasons. 1. Repetition: Anything repeated enough times NO MATTER HOW BORING will become an addiction 2. Emotion: Anything that feels good will make your subconscious want to repeat it again Once I realized this, I programmed my subconscious to make my Dopamine/ Reward System go off when I work. It was this one trick that took me from being unable to focus more than 20 minutes to be able to sit at the same place 21 hours... Non-Stop Work. 15 days of programming and I had turned myself into a Machine that didn't know when to stop. Imagine how fast you get the life you want just because you do what you are supposed to. That is the power of Directed Focus. If you want this level of Focus just comment the word "Machine" And I will take care of you #BECOMEALTERCONSCIOUS
