Tl;dr Don't spend it, invest it

This is a great summary. I’d also strongly recommend volunteering. It’s extremely rewarding and allows you to connect with people you might not otherwise meet

How do you do all this effectively when your mind is weighed down by life/emotions/oneitis?

I'm trying to do these things to a degree, and work harder and more effectively at work, but most of the time it just feels like my brain is taken up by distractions and thoughts of a girl, and it makes everything more dull and difficult, because it's really not want I want to be doing.

Excellent summary.

IMO food can go into your time category as well.

Spend the time to figure out what kind of food works best for you, the best kind of eating strategy for your body type (keto, intermittent fasting, high caloric, etc...).

Spend the time it takes to pick out shit at Whole Foods or Mothers Market that works for your body.

Spend the time it takes to cook a healthy meal.

Eating healthy is important boys - - and it takes time to figure out and execute.

Any ideas about new skills to acquire in the free time?

I find audible a great alternative to Kindle. Most books are really well narrated and is perfect while traveling or when performing mindless repetitive daily chores.

This is an awesome post. I do all those things.... And it all coming from another TRP guy just makes it even more special. Cheers!!!!

Any tips on learning to design user interfaces?

I think there may be a difference between "want" and "want to do". If you pick an activity from above, do you want it or do you want to do it?

Might be interesting to see them synchronized, for lack of a better term.

Another great post on this sub. Thanks, OP.

LIFT READ MEDITATE. WORK ON YOURSELF

lukasben101 · 2018-03-29T16:48:06+00:00

By far the best post ever submitted here. A big personal thanks.

What version of Meditations did you read? I see their are multiple versions online and was wondering if it mattered which edition I got.

How do recommend getting started with meditating and mindfullness?

DeadPisces · 2018-03-29T17:26:36+00:00

Awesome post! Amazing how many of my younger and middle-aged co-workers/friends who are married make comments about how lucky I am to have the time to work-out, disc golf, hike, etc. whenever I want. I'll gently remind them that it's about choices and discipline. I also agree and cannot stress enough how important good sleep hygiene is to overall health and mood. Most folks I know choose to waste so much time then complain about not living the life they want.

I actually started reading the Marcus Aurelius Meditations recently, what a coincidence

+1 for Kindle app on the phone. A lot of people don't even realize it exists. Been reading on my phone for years and I finish books a lot faster when I always have one available for a lunchtime reading session, bathroom breaks, etc.

I find meditation to be the ultimate source of frame correction. It’s an opportunity for self reflection, acceptance, and change.

How can you accomplish self reflection, acceptance, and change when you're supposed to empty your mind during meditation? What's the difference between your kind of meditation, and brooding with your eyes closed?

This post is pretty much a great summary of the Red Pill tenets

DaftOdyssey · 2018-03-29T14:46:20+00:00

Regarding books, I already read books from studying for classes. But for self improvement books, could I just listen to audiobooks while I'm working out?
