My blog about motivation, finding time for trading, self improvement in life

So wached and took notes from this video

actually it is good reminder of things I know/heard. Some things are not making sense but still there is lot of useful info.

Life rewards the relaxed - I believe that is true and it is much better life when you are relaxed. But need to be not lazy at the same time so not sure how to make that happen. Yea maybe one thing is sports as he mentioned - instead when stressed of eating junk food - do push ups. But as I see sport for me does not always help to relax. But still maybe - now when I am not fully relaxed, I watch this easy for my brain video and it is useful at the same time and fun to watch.

Youtube is genius, when sharing video to somebody I am strating to think - is this very useful because youtube probably suggests videos for some person better than anybody else. But maybe with comments it is still useful and maybe it can create a discussion.

Btw my headache has reduced, still not feeling like perfectly no headache, I think if I run some serious podcast where I have to focus to understand, it would increase my headache but - yea I can watch such fun videos like this without problem. I think mostly the coffee helped this time, I have noticed it sometimes helps especially when shifting the sleep schedule - somthing happens to my brain when I do this.

Now he advices to not focus on global events as I cannot influence them. For me the big concern is Russia. How can I not focus when my country has a border with it. It can damage my life. And I see what it does to Ukraine. I can take action and move to another country but I am still having doubts - because I do not want to fly with planes and visiting family, friends without planes takes lot of time and effort so I would be lazy to travel. So not sure. Maybe if I would be a trader and would have lot of time, then maybe ok - could just go to train and just relax in trains and go visit that way. But when having job, spending so much time on trains, plus also it adds the cost because need hotels for sleeping. Damn this is a dillema. Plus people say it is not fun to be an imigrant because locals will treat you worse.
Yea so I spend ton of time for trying to understand the risk of Russia invading my country. One trader from Austria I think just simply said to move out of my country and thats it. For some people it seems so easy to relocate :slight_smile: But most people use planes so that makes it much easier.

Now that 80/20 rule
Identify what makes biggest effect on my goals and do that. This really makes sense and with my time limit even when I have endless todo lists where I even stopped adding items to them - they mostly do not bring as much value. As the last thing discussed here is that my programming blog. It could bring value as advertisement if I show it to potential employers but for making money - would need to then probably invest much more time which I do not have and it is hard to make something serious. Maybe it is easier than in trading to make low income. But goal is to make income which can make me my own boss at very least and be not significantly lower than programming salary.
This 80/20 I knew but it is good reminder.

Habbits

as said before - Stressed? Do push ups instead of eating junk food. Same stress relieve - better outcome. (not sure is it the same stress releave, personally push ups often cause me a headache so some things I do not agree in the video but could adjust by yourself.)

I really had lot of sports and walking this week because of feeling stressed and having heachache.

Habbits run as autopilot - at first it is hard, then when you get used to them it becomes often not as hard. And probalby need to make them fun. Like cleaning teeth for 2 minutes is so boring. So I most often play a podcast and have fun while cleaning even for those 2 mintues. Or now I need for a year do 5 minutes a day leg fingers training - it is so boring - but also podcast make a difference.

One thing I notice - the older I get - the more habbits I had to have which are not fun. Like wtf this finger training every day. When I as a kid I had way less habbits. Just most important was to go to school and brush teeth. Now brush teeth for at least 2 minutes. Eaerlier I used to brush them as fast as I could :smiley:

Ok maybe enough talks. I add my notes pdf for more. But I did not take everyhting from the video . So you might find somthing else in the video which are not in my notes.
Life Explained in 15 minutes.pdf (2.7 MB)

Damn - I am thinking I am writign so much - maybe I should create a blog at my domain with talks like this and maybe earn at least little money :smiley: I see it is much easier to write things like this than about programming.

Oh btw forgot one very important thigng from the video

relationships

identify which one energise you. There are so damn lot of people who want you to not succeed, to feel bad. Saying you are dumb. They program your mind to believe that you are dumber than you really are. It kind of even does not make sense of what they say but they are succesful. For example at school there were so many dumb people but they weere more succesful and telling me I am dumb. Even when they were bad at math and other real sciences. What they work now is like truck drivers and yea, earn still good money. But I passed math exam very well. How can I be more stupid than them.

I used to listen to one podcast “how to talk to girls”. I think I should advertise him for his free email answer to me https://www.youtube.com/@TrippAdvice . And maybe was topic about something like this and I wrote email to the podcast owner - asking soemething like am I stupid or what when so many people call me stupid. He said - when they say you are stupid , that does not mean you are stupid, it means they are rude. So really they are idiots then. And then my classmate wanted me to come to the class meetup after like 15 years of finishing school. I was not feeling good about that because of as it turns out lot of rude people in the class. And I asked psychologist what to do about this. If I do not go, it feels like I am afrad or something. But really I noticed some other people who were not “cool” also not coming to this meetup - and those people were way easier to talk to than those rude people. Yea and now those rude people think bad about me. But ■■■■ them. Yea even if I was not cool, I did not know how to be cool. Am I damn guilty for not being able, not knowing and for not being strong? Partially maybe - being strong physically felt like also kind of waste of time and boring especitally at the time when there were no podcasts to listen while training or no gym with hot girls which I am now motivated to go to. People were training so that they could go into fights - I did not want to go into fights. Instead they could give good advice, help somehow. Yea, some tried to help a little bit but really it was too much of bs overall. And in the video I think there was mentioned and have heard many times - do not think about what others think about you. And some of their advice was getting into fights and doing some bs things. Damn idiots. What psychologyst said - I do not need to go to this meetup. And thats it. So I did not went and saved myself from a stress and asnwered in polite way that I will not attend without explaining as psychologist adviced. In reality it is like telling them to ■■■■ off in a polite way and that they are not as good for me and it is not fun with them and they are assholes. And yea - my mistake probably was to try to be friends with such people - yea at school kind of need friensds to survive, it is hard, even after so many years after finishiung it I do not know how to do well in school if I had to repeat this againg. But now since I am not forced to go to it and I have limited time - probably it is better to choose relationships who are not assholes. Even if that means limiting talking to my relatives, like cousin has said to me I am stupid also not a single time, and noticed he calls his mom stupid - so that might mean he is really rude since it does nohappen only to me. Ok his mom could be little bit stupid but still I guess need to talk differently and teach her in anther way if she does something stupid.

Came back home. Bit not optimal - wanted to eat, we went to restaurant, ate potatoe dumplings with beer at about 23:30. That is slow to digest I guess. I want to sleep but it is not good to sleep so soon after eating so much. So my time again will be wrong for getting up, I will likely wake up too early and then have lack of sleep. Most importantly is to not have a headache. Now while waiting for digesting could study but damn it is hard when eyes want to close. A mistake. But at least maintaining connection to a good friend.

Besides that - all day was light.

8h 5m - eating, cooking, booking appartmetns for travel, discussion with parents (bit of helping them with computer), thinking and discussing with chat about new project blog where I could earn from writhing about my personal life like here. But decided there are different motivatiosn - for blog to be intersting I need to disclose intersting stuff. But if I want to earn, I want to make it visible by as many people as possible. But then my friends and relatives might recognise me and I do not want all this to be known by my relatives, like parents. Now here it feels relativelly safe because only few poeple are interesting in trading to read this blog. Or I should filter what I say a lot but that means things what I want to talk about will not be talked. I would need to spend time on filtering. And maybe even have double blog where I disclose more but not earn from that. It starts being complicated and time consuming and this will make it harder to become a trader.
Also in thtat time - traveling to the festival. So really I categorised as useful but I am not sure if all the things are that useful. Lot of thinking there was - but on the other hand - when to think and make decisions?

1h spent on watching that video about life and taking notes and writing earlier post.

6h being in concerts and restaurant.

And there were some small things.

15h 38m total clocked yesterday.

And survived without needing painkillers even when had headache in the morning just after waking up.

Hello,

12:45. Lack of sleep, slept like 6 h 30 m. But cannot fall asleep anymore.

Going to festival again to see the dj which i might like.

Now how to classify this? Is i a sin to do so or not? I am going alone because my friends are not interested in this. It is an obstacle to my trading goal.
But on the other hand - i might meet new friends or new girlfriend. But the girlfriend itself is an obstacle to my goal :smiley: i cant imagine meeting girlfriend i want. So logically it should be waste of time. But sounds weird to call it waste of time when you go out and have chance to meet women. Being in dating sites could be an alternative but some still say it is better to do that live, more chances. I dont know.

If i classify this as waste of time, then i should deduct this from my waste of time budget.

This dj i have rare opportunity to see for free. Also it is beautiful day, bit too hot which might be another reason to not go, since i might get headache from heat.

Hello,

Things change now. Like the drones over Poland, Zapad trainings change my focus on what todo. Just mind is what to do will there be a war or no.

Last night slept like 6.5 hours and it was not that deep sleep. Plus other life event but I do not want to disclose too much in case someone recogniszes me.

Would be nice to talk all about life what is on my mind but really its not for every people. But really now trading again became not a focus, need to solve other things and keep the job, be focused, do stuff so I would be useful enough and at least study for job.

Really too hard to focus on trading when need to find best decitions for other things. So not sure, next week should be interesting to me. So I guess for now I might write here not as much, will see becasue of bit different focus.
