And without those actors you have anarchy and chaos. 🤷♂️

Time is Relative ⏳
It doesn't move the same for everyone. To speed it up, to live a month in 24 hours, simply put more cause into effect. If someone on your team does 100 messages a day, and you do 200, you've lived 48 hours in his 24. This is how the exponential gap that separates men is created. You have to CONSTANTLY be doing, moving, creating. Even moving at a steady pace isn't good enough. Because there are people out there who aren't, so you're falling behind. You're either spiraling up or spiraling down.

After working for the past 20 years I can tell you that is good advice for early burnout. Its a rather dated 80's-Greed is Good type of idea that has led to so many issues for people.

@Berkant Mustafa There is too much emphasis on constant progress, gains, and profit, and not enough on being in the moment and enjoying the simple pleasures. Sometimes it's perfectly fine to do nothing and savor the peace. In the end, we all end up in the same place anyway.

@Jeff Marr Or could it be they don't like to be caught off guard/startled? I hate surprise parties and frown if they occur but it does not mean I dislike the people at the party. 🤔

What is your writing schedule like?
I saw a video of Jocko Willink saying that he 'owes' 1000 words per day on his book. Which I started to do for my next book but then today when I'm in a rush I found myself just YAPPING to hit the 1000 word limit. I can see the issue with that, and the work I did in 2022 and 2023 of spending one hour per day writing content and one hour writing the book seemed to be a good output. That strategy equaled 500+ videos and a book, which is pretty glorious all in all, and would like to get back to that one. Or do you just do nightly journaling, morning journaling? what do you do for writing? What's your routine?

I tried it for a awhile but I avoid journaling now. I found in the past it re-enforced negative thoughts and emotions rather than helping to deal with them. It was not helpful to have a diary of all the bullshit that happened in your life that now you can read over. 😅

@Jeff Marr I think my point is more that its not something that works for everyone and it depends on where you are at with your mental health. I struggled a lot with my critical inner voice in those days. I couldn't see the positives at all. Having negativity written down on paper just ended up re-enforcing it. I feel my life sucks and here is a list of ways it sucks...yay. Oh look, it sucked a month ago, it sucked yesterday and it still totally sucks today. 😅 In the end if someone finds it helpful awesome. But it can have its downsides as well. Just depends on the person.

@Yuri Zavorotny You can not claim it to be "fact" without it being verifiable through repeated experimentation. At best "god" or a god like entity is a hypothesis. Unfortunately feelings, or "intuition" is not evidence.

@Yuri Zavorotny If it interacts with this reality/universe then it will be detectable using the scientific method and technology. As of yet we have no evidence for its existence. Until we do I dismiss it as a untestable hypothesis. But if someone invents a tool or experiment and shows that an external intelligent forces exists that has manipulated this reality since day one I am more then happy to alter my views on the subject.
