I don't have all the answers, but it looks like to me that there's two different primary modes we go through life in. The Logical Mode for work, business, and serious worldly responsibilities. And the Emotional Mode for socialization and interacting with women.

The question you're constantly asking yourself in the Logical Mode is "What's most effective?". Whereas the question you're constantly asking yourself in the Emotional Mode is "What's most fun?"

The problem arises when you're in the wrong mode at the wrong time. It's fair to say that we can agree that if you're primarily in the Logical Mode while gaming, it will just cause you to get ignored/blown out by most women who have vaginas that don't get wet by logic. Whereas, if you're in the Emotional Mode while not gaming and taking care of serious work and worldly responsibilities, you're not gonna get shit done, probably will watch Youtube and porn for hours, and your boss/clients/customers will "blow you out".

I personally am self-employed. I go out on the weekends to let loose and then I work during the week. Usually it takes me like 3-4 days from my last night of PUA to fully get back to 100% productivity in work, which is wayyy too long IMHO. I've been trying a lot of things to help get me back into the Logical Mode quickly with some limited success (i.e. writing field reports in my journal, doing some maintenance/more monotonous tasks on my first days back, etc). I'm sure other people who've been in the game longer have been in this same exact position in the past which is why I thought it'd be a good idea to ask.

How do you guys quickly get back into that logical and productive headspace/work mode after a weekend of Pickup?
