how strongly do you rely on routines and timeblocking, or do you just go with the vibes?
Discussion
I spent from 2016-2022 logging virtually everything I did. Iβm very data driven. Biometrics etc. I think the thing it helped me with most was recognizing how many hours I was wasting per week. 30 minutes here, an hour there. Ends up being dozens of hours a year. If you used even 20% of that time wisely you the possibilities are endless. Just my two cents.
oh i absolutely agree
i've been thinking about time as a currency more and more as of late, and how do i spend it
Calendar and timeblock. Without it I waste away time on random things...like responding to this note ;)

Haha I usually go on between meetings when thereβs that 10-15 mins that you wouldnβt be able to use that effectively in other tasks. And then in the evenings I donβt timeblock everything so there is some flexibility.
Both. There are certain things I reserve for routine and timeblocking and the rest is a flow and I go with it.
hmm, such as a morning routine and work?
Ya. Exercise.. Reading.. anything that needs to be done. I barely look at my phone until 4/5ish in the afternoon because of it.
i feel like it's incredibly hard for me to moderate my time on the phone... i seemed get stimulated and sucked in so fast, that i don't even notice when i've ended up 4 hours doing nothing of much value
really want to get disciplined more than anything
I have a very specific routine in the week but go with the flow on the weekend. I need to balance it out so I can feel free at times
i'd be curious to see how y'all plan your days, feel like i missed the "scheduling your life" class in life
Unless itβs work or a plan that someone made for me, I donβt schedule anything. Freedom of time is the essence of life
It depends on the context of the rest of the day. If I have shit to get done, I block everything out on a calendar. If not, just vibinβ bro
I vibe out but also set goals and timebox when required to meet said goals.
need somebody to teach me how to discipline myself better
I spent my teenage years obsessed with skateboarding. I practiced skateboarding everyday. that sport teaches you perseverance and discipline. you mostly fail, over and over, but if you focus and keep at it long enough you may succeed. I think this shaped my general approach to life.
played football like that, but i guess i never routinely practiced anything specific like that, as you have to in skateboarding, where the environment, ramps and skills pretty much force you to
