Life is like a game.

Today, in the intervals between pull-ups on the horizontal bar and bench press, it occurred to me, how can you shift the idea, put forward in the previous http post://maxim-pr.livejournal.com/93911.html for all our lives (Who said, that physical and mental activities do not mix well). Many are now summing up the results of the outgoing year, making plans for the next. Everyone's different. Buy a car or visit an ashram, add five pounds of muscle mass, or hook up 1001 Girl, earn a million euros or afford to buy panties for five thousand rubles. Every year the plans become less and less ambitious.. The reason, usually, in psychology – in non-implementation of the previously conceived, oblomov, troubles of life. But maybe., we just prioritize wrong, we illiterately plan and allocate our time. Bodo Schaefer has a thought, that people tend to overestimate their capabilities for a year and underestimate for ten years. I communicate, mostly, with people aged 30-45 years. In theory, it's time for self-realization – experience gained, money earned, you can move and develop further. But unfortunately, percentage of those, who is constantly improving, attends seminars, learns foreign languages, participates in new projects, playing sports, not so great. Very many correspond to the statement of Milton Erickson “Some people die at twenty-five, just don't bury them until eighty”. Generally, these are wonderful, positive comrades, but something happened, what prevents them from moving on. They are stagnant, and water does not flow under a lying stone. Wearing old clothes is becoming the norm., worn out shoes over torn socks, do not monitor the hairstyle and body weight, and not because of, that there are no funds. It's just that life has become extinct and insipid. All the conversations – or about work, or memories of the past. Someone went to orthodox religion, and imposed a bunch of stupid prohibitions on himself. Attempts to get such a person out of his own cozy swamp are unsuccessful.. You communicate with him by inertia and every year less and less. Things like this happen to me myself, when you don't want anything, nothing burns, nothing pleases. Lasts from a month to two, sometimes accompanied by illness. Then I suddenly wake up and start to kick myself out. Such periods are very destructive and can seriously damage the performance of the tasks assigned., throw back. At one time I tried to fight them by leading “success diary”, but the idea itself is a little blurry and vague. Really, what to write there? All actions for the day-week-month? Now I thought, that you can try to rework the idea of ​​the diary, by analogy with the computer game SIMS, divide into categories and score points for completing an action, leading to the result. Actually, day, which we spent in front of the TV, aimlessly surfing the internet, or chatting over a can of beer in the company of similar depressants, can be safely considered thrown into the trash. We will not receive any bonuses during this time. We grew old for a day and achieved nothing.
How points can be awarded? Achievements in physical, Moral, Emotional, Material, professionally. For example, did fitness / sports, +1 to health, +0,5 to appearance. Have learned 10 foreign words, +1 to education, read a book on psychology, +10 to science :) And so on.. An important element of money. Consider how earned, well spent. On the one side, waste of money, this is a decrease in material bonuses, but they go to purchase some useful things. For example, stylish thing, or a haircut in an expensive salon, this is a plus for appearance, self-confidence, charisma. Money spent on attending the seminar – plus to knowledge. Actually, it is important to just maintain a positive balance, earn more, what to spend. Borrowing or borrowing – it is also a minus in the field of emotions, and you need to correlate it with the resulting benefit. Everyone can choose priorities for himself, according to which, can give himself points. If we reach a big goal, scheduled for the year – accrue a super bonus, Hurrah, we became happy owners of panties for five thousand :)
Someone is already mentally asking: what for me all this self-deception? If in the morning you are just torn apart by ideas – I just have to envy you, but most people are too immersed in the routine of consistently performed habitual actions. Don't think, no need to create, day after day, year after year. The proposed game will not take long – day-week, someone has a month, thinking about life priorities and developing a scoring system, And 10-15 minutes a day to keep a diary (that's a lot less wasted on nonsense), but will teach you to set tasks and achieve their solutions, step by step. As a result, we will receive a detailed report on the past year., We'll see, how consistent have we been, what have been achieved. In conclusion, I will add, what periods, when I wrote down all my cash income in a diary, several times exceed the periods of profitability, when i didn't.

  No discipline, no profit !!!

P.S. The post is addressed more to yourself, but I will be glad, if someone gets something useful for themselves.
