I am a clumsy, messy, confused guy.

Most of the times, I need to work hard to achieve a result that a more determined and focused person can accomplish faster and better. For this reason, I often end up stuck in [[Metathinking]], and get into a loop of frustration that is simply useless. Nevertheless, overthinking my ways of doing things and dealing with life is not all bad.

I take note of the conclusions I draw from the above-mentioned tinkering.

The ones below are the most relevant practices I try to adopt, in order to be more self-aware, and to improve myself both physically and spiritually.

• When I have a thorny matter I cannot stop thinking about, I practive [[Self debugging]], which consists in sitting down, breathing, switching off anything which is switchable, and debug myself, as you would do with a computer program.
• [[Self tracking]] means keeping track of anything which has to or should not occur repetitively
• [[Loops]]: acquire habits and take advantage of them to waste less time
• I set some [[Boundaries]], attempting to limit some unhealthy or unethical practices.
• Pursue the art of [[Monotasking]]: doing one thing at a time, only one. One.
• Every day, at the end of the day, check what has been accomplished and what went wrong through an [[Esame di coscienza]]
• [[Mindfulness]] is becoming very popular and more and more people start doing it. I struggle a lot in doing it properly, but I know it is useful and I have not given up on it. The art of training the mind to focus and commit to the present by gifting it with few minutes a day of complete nothingness.
• [[Being a self editor]]: understanding what is important for the self in the whole life picture, as an editor does with its movie.
• I hate [[Productivity]]
