Hey guys. Here's this cool heuristic I made. Whatever distracts you, you could set aside time for doing, right? So the heuristic is this: if you wouldn't set aside time for what you're doing, you should stop. If you're not sure, take a break to think about it: "what are you doing this thing for? Are there better ways to get the thing that the distraction is for?" Etc.

This is actually pretty nice.
I really like the kind of 'if you put your mind to it, you can do it' thinking.

I have been collecting insights on interrelated fields that I have decided to collectively call "task and resource management."

Huge tip: willpower depends largely on blood sugar levels, so take sugar. However, sugar inhibits a chemical called orexin which keeps you feeling wakeful and alert. Some scientists knew that protein encourages orexin release, so they tested what would happen if people took sugar and protein. The protein not only counter-balanced the inhibitory effects of sugar, it completely alleviated them. So be sure to take protein as well.

Don't get discouraged if these tips don't work. Task and resource management is a very fragile and tedious process. This is only a small fraction of my total insight, and it may well be useless without other info. I can be prompted for more, but I am busy.

How much sugar do you need?

I didn't bother figuring that part; I just figured I wouldn't take enough to make my stomach hurt (which happens if I take a full Arizona fruit punch can within a 1-hour timespan)

Feel free to dig for the answers yourself. This is what I have saved in my favorites; you may or may not find the answer there:

Holy shit I was just listening to that.
And agree with you, dying in a last stand is something incredibly great and a dream of mine for a long time.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Greatness then, is not an act, but a habit"
Fucking based Aristotle. This thought ALWAYS keeps me going whenever my motivation is dropping to keep up the daily grind of improvement.

If this thread is still here tomorrow, I will keep adding some task and resource management tips, but for now I must get off my PC fashionably early so that the melatonin can set in without inhibition from my screen's light. Good luck with tomorrow, /motivation/. Remember, you can brush your teeth if you force your body to move. It won't take long and you know it. And if you do it, you will be making yourself more capable of doing it in the future.
