New Discipline Added: LEAF Schedule

In the gap left by the old "size sheet" Frame Integrity metric, I am now putting in "Followed LEAF Schedule?"

There are 4 metrics that all MUST be hit for this to be true:

1. Started calls by 8:00am (8:01 no good.)
2. Get to 35 calls by 10:30am
3. Started calls by 1:00pm (1:01 no good.)
4. Get to 50 calls by 2:00pm

Effective starting 6/6/18

Out sick yesterday, recovering today, want to recover from breakdown and get back on track.  Restore integrity.

To prevent similar breakdowns, I have modified to morning ritual.  NOTE MEDITATION IS NOW REQUIRED AND COMES BEFORE REVIEW PACKET.

NEW Morning Ritual

Discipline Requires for Integrity:

• Be out of bed by 4:35am M-TH / 7:05am SUN
• Have drank water and started shave/hair by 4:40am M-TH
• Have started shower (or long teeth) by 7:10am SUN
• At least 5 minutes of workout M-TH @ gym.
• At least 5 minutes of meditation:
• M-TH - Must be completed by 7:00am
• SU - Must be completed by 8:00am

There is NO ROUNDING: 5:06 & 7:11 are no good.  You are either starting your day with a bang or you are not.

You MUST meet all requirements - including 5 min workout minimum (M-TH) & 5 min meditation (Everyday).

Additional Commitments

No more circle plus on Saturdays for the remainder of Q2 please.

No more Rust prior to lunch on Sundays.

Video 2 Nearing Completion

The video is now 100% filled with slides / video.

The powerpoint slideshow (particularly the first 10-20s of it) needs a little work still.

Still need to do a full watch through and make any last minute tweaks.

But... that's about it.  We're pretty much done. 2-4 hours and it's a wrap.

Choose Your Resistance and EMPOWER Your Meditation

By CHOOSING your resistance (or your "DO NOT WANT"), you go from having it guide you to being at the source of it.

You start by accepting and embracing your very diswanting itself.  Your resistance, your magnetic repulsion, your avoidance.  Get in touch with how much you don't want to meditate.  And choose that.

The repulsion is the way the repulsion is because the repulsion is the way the repulsion is.

AND

I choose the repulsion because I choose the repulsion.

Human beings never accept things for what they are.  We're constantly "deciding" - meaning, the considerations are what's ACTUALLY choosing - and thereby cutting off all other ways of being.

By accepting my repulsion, I can enjoy it and eliminate it as an issue, which then frees me up to meditate without a barrier being in my way.  It therefore empowers my meditation, simply by dis-empowering the racketing.

Meditated tonight with some of my last mintues before bedtime and feel quite good about it.

FRAME INTEGRITY & LANDMARK / AMANDA / ETC

"April 8 - 12 demonstrates that your relationships / sex COME AT THE COST of
frame integrity.  Even though Amanda was in town, you could have chosen
either frame > amanda, BOTH, or amanda > frame.  You said amanda over
frame.  Which is totally fine, and I am happy with that 33%.  This demonstrates
TRUE integrity of the frame."

To this end, I've had to wipe out the Landmark Thursday night NA's... BUT... that doesn't mean landmark is at the cost of the frame.

Instead, I simply have different bedtime integrity on Landmark Thursday's - on these nights, integrity is "IN BED (WITH INTENT TO SLEEP - NO INTIMACY ETC) BY 11:45PM?" - and that's IT - either I am or I am not.

That way, I'm not able to use Landmark as an excuse to be up all night, and I am guarenteed 4.5 hours for a smooth 3 sleep cycles.

And the added benefit is it actually helps my frame integrity out since I always hit this one.

So sometimes wiping out NA's actually ends up as an instant benefit.  Damn, look at that... true integrity is good.

CDC 6 Day 10

5-6p

05:00 - 06:00: Obj.Int.Setup

TRUE INTEGRITY & "N/A"s

Now that I have true commitment, and Landmark's definition of true integrity, it's time to start evaluating things in terms of real integrity.

CDH: "Consistent Discipline Hour": 1 Hr minimum of ROARS work on M-Th and 5 Hr minimum on Sundays.  This applies to every day during the challenge, whether it was a planned day off or not, regardless of emergencies, illness, etc.  There are no reasons.

What about being rational?  Simple - the goal is NOT 100%.  The goal is 70%.  If you have true commitment, then I'm pretty sure your life isn't going to get in the way sooo much that 70% is hard to achieve.

What about vacations?  A whole week just wipes out my integrity??  Sure - simply split up the challenge.  EX: CDC 7.1 & CDC 7.2 during Q3.  Or plan them inbetween challenges.

What about the snowboarding season??  Well, if you're only going for 4 Sundays, set an integrity goal that reflects that, and remember to set aside extra gap room for the Mondays that you're going to be recovering from all the snowboarding.  Frankly, 40% integrity as the goal is OKAY.

INTEGRITY IS NOT ABOUT "GOOD" OR "BAD".  IT IS SIMPLY A MATTER OF SOLIDITY.  IF YOU WANT 40% SOLIDITY, THERE'S NOTHING GOOD OR BAD ABOUT THAT - 40% IS 40% BECAUSE 40% IS 40%.

From here on out, there shall be NO MORE "NA"s in my integrity sheets (Size, CDH, Frame Discipline, etc) unless it's a sheet that specifically is dedicated to my true commitment integrity itself... and even then, those days should be cut from the challenge, not "NA".

This way, when I look at the percentage of CDH achievement over 90 days, I don't have to ask "How many days of the total challenge does the percentage actually apply to, though?"  It will simply be, "Of all business days in the quarter, CDH was achieved the exact percentage it says right there."  No further questions required.  

You look at the whole object of CDH and you get an exact percentage of how solid it really is, no reasoning or baggage to sort through, no audit required, just a clean and simple look at the real integrity of the thing.

NOTE: Can use blog post for ROARS Mindfulness, don't need separate pad

NOTE 2: Script AND Product name change: JUST "GUIDE", NOT "VIDEO GUIDE"

Slides

-Need to make sure audio editing completed first right?

 -not necessary...

1. Get to slides

-What needs to be done with audio editing before i even start slides & why?

-Audio is close enough that it is ready for slides.

-This will also help fine tune edits - if i missed a repeating sentence, its caught when i put in the slide
   -Also, this way I dont need to have script open, as slides will show where I am, making all editing easier.

2. Figure out how to do slides

-Color theme to match web
   -will final web be white?
       -go with standard blue and orange theme.  Works and saves time,right?
          -yes.  fuck it.  web theme will adjust to fit the blue and orange theme later

-Working with animoto:
  -slides will NOT match up perfectly, just get them close so they snap in by using the time clock from your main editor
      -this is also 100x faster than trying to "preview" every slide... that would take FOREVER.
           -EVEN LIKE THIS, IT STILL TAKES 2X+ LONGER than the traditional slides method, since these slides are set to the AUDIO, not the script (the can't be edited much once rendered.)

-animoto tricks you into see "white space" that does not exist in storyboard mode.  see preview to clear this one up.

3. Preview & Evaluating how to do them right
-First mistake - this is not a simple copy and paste of the text.  That's BORING.
  -Even if you change the slide style every time, it won't be great.  It'll just be oddly hooking

-Rewatched X video - they are using WAAAY less words.
  -Basically...
     -Only a couple of highlighted words (selling points)
     -Diagrams and very basic images illustrating their idea (explaining with both pictures and words)
     -Thought out "PRESENTATION" of material.
     -Power-point style of .... wait... did you say... power... point..................
        -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kr2oEwNsoM
           -Little "Jaimie loses his shit" freakout occurs.
              -Bro, the text effects aren't exactly "standard power point" and it's not like you wouldn't have to make your own pictures anyway.  That'd STILL be the hard part, dummy.  Calm down.

 4. Re-framing: Think of it as a presentation, or a "show" - look at it again using the above (first three points, not the powerpoint shenanigans.)

Put into practice... it takes FOREVER... but GRABS ATTENTION like no other.  AIDA FOR REAL.

Effective Immediately: Frame Integrity & "Showing up on time"

Showed up for morning ritual?

Only gets a "Y" if you are following schedule within 15 minutes (ex. Sunday: wakeup is 7:30 - only pass if on schedule by 7:45.  7:47 is NO GOOD!)

Showed up for workout?

Only gets a "Y" if walking through gym entrance doors BEFORE 3:38pm.

Showed up for all meditations?

Only gets a "Y" if final meditation is started BEFORE 6:08pm.

Showed up for CDH?

Only gets a "Y" if either blog post or meditation is started BEFORE:

-SUNDAY: 9:08am and didn't stop before 2pm.

-M-TH: 5:08pm OR 6:08pm (rule is 5pm unless a switch to 6pm is determined in advance.)

As far as CDH integrity, as long as you work an hour, you get a Y - 100%, no half-credits.  It's pass or fail.  Doesn't matter if you do it midnight to 1 in the morning -- the only consquence of this is that FRAME INTEGRITY takes a hit.

This way, I am switching to a more sensible system.  Instead of doing the confusing "I worked 12 hours, but only get 50% 'integrity' because I showed up 8 minutes late", I am doing the "I worked 12 hours and obviously got the "PASS" on the integrity for 'doing what I said I would do', however I didn't keep to my schedule so a got a "FAIL" on integrity for 'showing up when I said I would'.

Switching from a single, convoluted system, to a checks and balances SET of systems that work together in a way that makes perfect sense and doesn't cause issues.

"DO NOT WANT" Troll is a problem on Sundays

Q2 CDC: Re-implementing Bedtime Schedule

Bedtime Discipline Guidelines

8pm is the cut-off for hour long Sarah convo's.  You can talk to her after this time, but only with the goal of cutting it off within 30 minutes.

815 is the cutoff for longer intimate sessions - after 815 intimacy needs to involve tracking the time.  830-845 is "quickie" period - go for the goal as fast as possible, no exploring new things after 830.  845 is a cutoff of all intimacy.

830 is hard cutoff of ALL entertainment.  This INCLUDES new science documentaries, fascinations, and obsessions (like trying to teach myself the concept of imaginary numbers, exploring the 4th spacial dimension, watching advanced quantum theory lessons, etc.)  After that, ONLY re-watch documentaries in the space science folder.  I know you want new things.  I know the old things are getting boring.  That's the point!  Relax and enjoy.

9pm is bed time.  Always be IN BED by 9, with the standard "round down" grace period.

As I think of more things I will include them here.

This all depends on ending work and work related things (like "touching the stats") at 7pm.  Again, round down rule applies, but this MUST be done or I won't sleep well.

FRAME INTEGRITY MUST MEET 3/4 TO QUALIFY:
-NO work after 7:30
-NO entertainment after 8:30 (including NEW documentaries)
-NO intimacy after 8:45
-IN BED BY 9:00

Bedtime Schedule - early beginnings

It is time we being focusing on a bedtime routine that is more disciplined and promotes better sleep.

8pm is the cut-off for hour long Sarah convo's.  You can talk to her after this time, but only with the goal of cutting it off within 30 minutes.

815 is the cutoff for longer intimate sessions - after 815 intimacy needs to involve tracking the time.  830-845 is "quickie" period - go for the goal as fast as possible, no exploring new things after 830.  845 is a cutoff of all intimacy.

Real Consequences

*****GOTO PAGE*****

The whole point of building myself up to a large size person is that as an entrepreneur, there is no outside force keeping me on track.

It'd be great to do it and have real consequences, but at the end of the day, it'll always come down to me.  There is no "getting fired", there are no "write-ups".

So the real consequences fall on my failure to hit my goals.

Some examples:

JAN GOAL: 12 hours.

THIS IS ESSENTIALLY 1 FULL WORK DAY.

But you had an ENTIRE MONTH to get those hours.

And in January, you FAILED to do so.

FEB: 20 hours.

This is essentially TWO FULL DAYS.  In a whole month.

Q1: 60 hours.  THIS IS ESSENTIALLY one full week.  And you have a FULL QUARTER... a FULL SEASON if you will... to get one great week's worth of work done.

If you have, say, 6 months of full time work to get to making a few hundred a month online, and you are progressing at 1 week per quarter, that means you will get there in 6 YEARS.

Even accounting for a better scenario we're talking AT LEAST 2-4 YEARS.

And that's only if you hit your goal!!!  If you get half way to goal, your ETA on success as making a small amount of money online is 4-8 YEARS (in a good-case scenario.)

So take consistent discipline lightly if you want.  But know the consequences.  At your current rate, you will be making a little bit of money online by around 2023, and you will be 34 years old working an entry-level job.

And I'm just guessing.  That could easily be 40 years old, and you could be so demoralized / caught up in family life / etc by then that you could be out of the game completely by then.

It is CENTERED ON THIS PAGE.

You know, the way you want YOURS to be?  Maybe have a look at their code...???? lol

...

1. Music.

Motherfucker.  Of course it has some simple, discreet, yet charming and inspirational music.

Fortunately there's free music out there... where the fuck was it again?


2. Easy creation of slides will make the ACTUAL creation of all slides possible within 1-2 hours easily (at least to a PASSING level).... So all I need... is the software.  And I have 1-2 hours to find it, install it, and learn how to use it.

Started by googling:
easy, animated video slides

...Seems promising.  Animoto is on there... hmmm

3. Tested animoto.  It's legit as FUCK, full 1080 d/l and will fit right on into my videos.  I can time to the second, only prob seems to be a 40s max but i have to agree stalling for 40s would be WAAY boring.

$44 for 30 days.  Make sure you cancel.

The Return of Word

Let's talk framework for a second...

My consistent discipline is getting worse and worse.

My goal was to be doing a morning ritual EVERY DAY at this point.

I'm supposed to be solid as fuck right now.

The power hour shouldn't be this thing you come into where you need to "re-establish" the context every morning... which then falls apart soon after starting.

And I certainly shouldn't be dealing with days like today and yesterday where my content (1 up hour by hour) is being flooded with trolls to the point that I'm barely pulling in "4"'s.

With a weak frame, context can only be so strong, and it buckles under pressure.  And as context goes, content flows into the new shape that the context has broken down into.

STRONG DISCIPLINE REQUIRES A STRONG FRAME.

You've read it a 100x -- you can't be an entrepreneur if you can't even start your day powerfully -- and this is all the proof you need.

More importantly, this is why being completely unreasonable to following through with "your word" is so important.

And it's a DIRECT correlation.  50% integrity of showing up to ROARS and I feel lucky if I get 1 of 2 hours in.  My goal becomes to "really" get started by 6.

Is it a coincidence that I also happen to be doing a morning ritual 50% of the time, and tracking size between 7a-10a and 1p-3p 50% of the time?

Easy to justify things with meetings, month end, deals, blah, blah, blah.  Harder to deny that hard 50% #'s across the board probably are causing each other.

The morning ritual sets the frame, but it doesn't complete it, it just sets it up.  It's completed by the 15/10/5 meditations, the 5 times you log your size, the clock in at 5, and the push to complete whichever of the 19 objectives you choose within the budgeted time frame.

Now that you see the significance of word again, it's time to get this back into your head:

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.  YOU ALREADY CHOSE.

Your word MUST be followed as soon as you realize that following it is in question.  There are NO EXCEPTIONS.  It's not that I expect perfect integrity, but it IS that I expect an attempt to follow NO MATTER WHAT if you're in a situation where you are aware of it.

You shouldn't have any problem doing this.  You're legit.  You embrace pain and suffering.  You're willing to lose sleep and get super stressed out to follow through on discipline.  You just lost your way when it comes to what giving your word means (as defined by Landmark) and why it's important.

Time to come back to the path.  Without your word, the path disappears under the overgrowth of the jungle.  With solid word, it's like a perfectly paved road.  It is time to commit again.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FRAME FIRST.  THEN -- AND ONLY THEN -- DOES EVERYTHING ELSE COME INTO PLAY.

There's a reason that Sundays are WAAAY better now.  It's the framed structure you setup.

So just going to say it...

If you don't do your morning ritual you are warping your WHOLE DAY.  And there's NO WAY to fix it.  If you do everything else perfect, the frame will be pretty good... maybe 90, 95% good... but it'll still be warped.  YOU MUST START YOUR DAY WITH A SOLID FRAME, THE SAME WAY YOU WOULDN'T SKIP ON FOLLOWING THE SUNDAY STRUCTURE.

Get it on the ptc main page

Consistency = frame

Mindfulness = context

1up intensity = content


Must have all 3, content is most urgent in the moment as its where the rubber hits the road, but it only works in the right context, and if the frame starts getting bent so will everything inside it

Ex.  1upping a frustration and focusing more intensely on failure instead of embracing it will cause a burnout, bad calls, and slower dialing and more mistakes.

Ex. Missing a ritual leads to unorganized power hour, weaker mindfulness, and less 1upping.

Ex. Not 1upping leads to calling slower even if youre mindful.  Like being mindful of things that are helpful in the long term like embracing emotions but not in the now (hitting call stat goals)
