I see people wasting their lives on shit that is out of their control, being dragged around by hatred and anger, and not living their full potential.

I'm not writing a book here. The trend seems to be super long posts that find ten different ways to say the same thing. Maybe ten posts were written about this very recently. Id feel like a fraud if I took the time to check first. So...

How to not give a fuck, in a good way: Figure out the shit that you really care about. Write them down.

Make these things a non negotiable priority in your life.

Step three is not new: self awareness. Be aware of where your attention is. Give power to the voice in your head that so annoyingly points out "hey asshole, you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing! Get back to taking care of business.". When you hear that, don't be ashamed or try to feel better, just take a step towards the right path.

Put your phone down, get back to work, or if youre a work addict, get back to enjoying a few minutes of life while you still can.

Step five: every few minutes ask yourself if you are doing what you want to be doing, what you should be doing. You'll know when the time is right to ask.

Check your list of things you care about.

Example: someone's opinion doesn't match yours. How does their opinion affect the shit you really care about? It doesn't. Have self awareness, realize you're wasting time with nothing to gain. End the conversation, or don't even engage. Whether you did give a fuck or not in the first place doesn't matter because it didn't cost you anything, but the result is the same. After a while when you stop spending energy and time on these things and you will truly no longer give a fuck because you're getting rewards from working on the things you do care about and be more evolved than 95% of people out there.
