If you're thinking self improvement, I have a project that can put your progress into overdrive!

I'm going to upvote this because of the effort you put into it. Good job and thanks.

Fucking fantastic. This is the direction I want this subreddit to be headed: genuine self-improvement through empowering people to achieve their goals (social, relationship, whatever).

I have done a very similar thing to OP, and have several documents that I continually edit, which collate my own thoughts, favourite quotes (funny, interesting, inspirational), summaries of my clothing style, mannerisms, morals, key notes on game, hobbies, nutrition, lifting, ideas, study techniques, goals, etc. There really is no end to this. If I hit my head and woke up in hospital with amnesia, I would rely on this document to remember who I was.

Also, great to find another lucid dreamer!

4 plate C&J?

Like 405lbs C&J? That's Olympic level. Damn.

How much does this actually help? It looks like a looot of time and energy going into this that could go into the goals themselves. What have you done as a result of this that you wouldn't have done otherwise?

I think I could have saved you some time coming up with this http://nerdist.com/nerdistway/

God this looks so much like schoolwork it makes me cringe.

Great idea!! Trying this.

jacobw4473 · 2012-12-19T08:45:55+00:00

Just want to say I love this. Stick with it dude. I've always been a goal setter, but this takes it to another level. I'll be trying this once finals are over (fri)

Dude, a 405lb Clean and Jerk? What are your lifts like right now?

Gona give this a go, guess it's time to do some self reflection for this manifesto.

This is a great idea. I may have to adapt it for my own use.

Back in high school and for several year afterward, I on-and-off kept a journal (just less feminine way of saying "diary"). I originally started with the sole goal of improving my handwriting - and it was successful in that I still, ten years since I last journaled, have excellent cursive handwriting.

The unexpected benefit was the self-reflection inherent in the simple act of deliberately recalling the day's/week's events. I also realized that the times I stopped journaling wasn't when I was busy, but when I was off course from overall life goals, and I never made the conscious decision to not journal, but I guess my subconscious just didn't want to reflect on how I'd messed up.

When journaling or using a tool like yours, It's those times when you most dont want to update it that you probably most need to.

Why is the Nike swoosh so damn hard to draw??

Good post. This is like something I'd do and then never look at it again. Make up for me, joope.

Lanai · 2012-12-19T07:27:32+00:00

Wow, I can't believe this... I've been writing my own manifesto over the coures of a month now on Google Drive.

This is harder than I thought. I've been trying to improve myself over the last year. I've lost weight, gained some muscle, gotten a new job, organized my home, but this is really hard for me. I don't think I ever really think about this stuff. I think I don't want to, but even now that I do I really don't know what my goals are.

ThrowawayPUA · 2012-12-19T12:43:08+00:00

Yes! People who spend too much time on the computer and are not engaged with their environment and people around them, should spend even more time writing documents about how they plan to engage with their environment and the people around them.

(facepalm)

I particularly enjoyed this part:

Create a document entitled "Manifesto"

This took me many days. 3 days of planning and two days of putting it together and it's STILL under heavy construction. Make a document explaining what you're about and why you are doing what you do.

You obviously had trouble writing this document. You should have spent several days planning how you would do your planning. Then you would write about how you were going to write about your planning. Then you could plan how you would write your document about your planning.

Gee, I'm kind of quiet around women but I'm not bad enough for this.
