Welcome to 60 DoD, 2022. All of you maggots, young or old, veteran or new, can improve your processes through this 60-day event.

This year my challenge to you is two-fold. As usual, you need to change your habits. Setting an end-state goal is necessary so that you understand which habits are needing to be instantiated or changed in order to reach that end-state goal. Make no mistake, the purpose of 60 DoD is to change what you do with your time.

The second piece this year is more on the mental end of things. I want you to clearly articulate for yourself not only what you want, but why you want it, the method that you think will deliver it, and how/why your method will deliver it. This exercise is designed to get you outside of yourself, to help you see your blind spots, and to make sure you are doing things that will actually work. It should also help you to see all roads to your goal, and the juicy “synergy” between the weeks we focus on. This should all be included in your 60 DoD declaration, below.

For example, you may want to become more physically attractive. This broad goal could be obtained by a combination of losing body fat, gaining muscle mass, getting a better wardrobe, and improving hygiene. Now: why do you want that? Honesty is key, and guys here will see right through your bullshit if you try to delude yourself. Also, the how/why: this will work by (1) changing body composition to a lower percentage of fat and a higher percentage of muscle; (2) improving your presence through confidence cues and subtle factors like smell; (3) framing your physique in a flattering way by having clothes that fit, even while your body is in transition from flab to steel. You savvy?

For this go-round, since it’s the annual, I WILL be tracking you. If you declare on this thread, you’re on the hook. If you don’t, the regular posters will probably notice and call you out. Accountability, maggots.

This first week, starting today, is all about lifting. Perhaps you need a new program? Better commitment? Maybe you have fuckarounditis and need a fresh perspective? There are resources on the sidebar from 60 DoD in years past, and there are a ton of monkeys here that lift and can ridicule your weakness answer your questions, yeah. Focus on the questions I outline above when laying out the goal and the new habits. Let’s get to it.
