Meditation works to dump tension without feeling like its working.
count the ten 10 breaths and or make things comfortable as possible for the breaths as the come (sth to 'do' ok for a while)
Relax... relax. Not just 'calm down' but rather relax as if you've not a care. with perceptions: You don't need that, etc.* Don't cling to wanting a break just let go of all wanting.
0b care... for. remember to care for yourself/about. this care is giving rather that a fret.
Use these to help each other
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 Breaths. 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.
14. todo: Aversion to facing the
self, and perhaps wrong action. See
here, and this is maybe for progress but also could be the issue right now. [probably put this on here too quik]
15. proceudre for complacency back to action.
17. not to mention if you get a job - with the right mindset, you don't have to deliberate every day and week for 80% of the time about whether to do xyz or none, so you get that time too
16 do we need forgive self quick to quickly re-rail the train. check it thru day
18 attitude
Baseline critical action: Be calm, [happy and kind], composed* and maintain good faith. Then use the safety to of that to be brave†.
Challenge (-2) med with other people in the house
Challenge (-1) damp the cycle of getting good faith and confident then losing strength, enthusiasm, interest, faith
challenge0 ...every action right action. threat spelled out: backslide, have to cover the same ground again and again.
Challenge 1 repair house and cars 'Challenge Accepted'
Challenge 2 d____s...restore relations 'Challenge Accepted'
Challenge 3 ..job..and/to move
In the context of the waterheater 'challenged' causing to not just rise to but also to feel good, the k_____ challenge to get out of house will too
'Challenge Accepted'
....cost of doing business. This is business.

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 of tasks from the three Challenges above.
Orient yourself in 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.
† Assume confusion or disorientation is due to head in sand and/or lazy.
From calm follows automatically patience and sobriety.
