1. Aversion to the present moment, and discomfort in it, was the cause of procrastination, poor thinking, and suffering.
Aversion... and formless FEAR.
2. Procrastination etc was about emotion and short term mood repair. Now free from the mire of thoughts, feelings and moods (due to not identifying), no need.
3. When you get to competence, which with persistence you will, you get all the time you spend procrastinating and cowering freed up. So you CAN get a job without giving up your life because you'll have the spare time for it.
4. You're stuck 'Do'-ing house keeping level until you face up to the future. Test it to experience: Vis the future to Pull you forward. (w/o attachment, expectation, emotion.)
5.sapzzing? stop count to ten. read here about a beachhead:
Mediations
The most important thing to check and reset is to
be calm. All the time.
6. telling the wrong story, catch the lie.
Pricipal of Causality - means any kind of suffering or grimacing or tension, you're creating it and you can just stop.
7. not just DO-ABLE but CLEAR comes from 0STRESS. so Relax to lights-out-level. For thinking - the shower's magic is 'i am where i wanna stay'.
13. 'The energy is always there' when a tired kid sees a new attraction. i.e. tired is a perception.
8. Feel your face:
Check manually for tension so you can stop by 'Causality'. Otherwise works unnoticed.
<- so if you're tired you're either being lazy out of fear, or delusion lol - [see how this feels]
9. Preempt and stop the emotional spinoffs from technical or practical questions. Now anything's easy, like reading recip paper.
(Plus, potentially your own life will give the fun of a tactical game.)
c.f. 'its not hard, thinking about its hard'
10. Kindness is the counter to Fear, surprisingly.
...and also, just letting go of fear because of attatchment to things not going 'wrong'.. it's all fine
11. [Get present in the morning]. Go inside, get 'at home'. Energy? It's always there: sit up, look up.
and re12 the reqd restraint actually makes life easier <-
12. Don't be daunted by difficult seeming challenges - remember, to Water Tank we rose and it felt good. Being pushed out of comfort has always led to somewhere better.
If it seems like the world is going to make things harder for you well what better than to turn weakness into strength.
Baseline critical action: Be calm, [happy and kind], composed* and maintain good faith. Then use the safety to of that to be brave†.

--------------We'll be writing about tools to adopt to get into the work faster in Do. We aim for comepetence. To refresh what specifically we need for that and where the 'frontline' currntly is that we should be concentrating our force, see the map. To find out what threads are untied, see the current journal winter.txt.

To answer the question 'What should I be doing?'
First check tasklist for time sensitive tasks.
Then look for a preload in the journal or the volatile notepad notes.
Get the context for these from the three Challenges above.
Then, see the
pyramid, top down and back from the bottom.
Look at where the frontline is on the competence map.
And be conscious of doing the right thing, and caring.
*This is like control.
