Hello,
In this week's edition, I look at how to set a schedule, Dr. Temple Grandin and I discuss visual and verbal thinking, and a pull from the archives to explore why things bother you.
** Have a Vision for Your Life
------------------------------------------------------------
Turn your focus to your micro routines. Ask yourself, “If this is what I am aiming for, how does that instantiate itself day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month?” This is where a schedule can be unbelievably useful.
You need to make a damn schedule and stick to it. But what is the rule with the schedule? It is not a bloody prison. That is the first thing people think that is wrong.
If you think, “I do not like following a schedule,” then ask yourself what kind of schedule you are setting up. For example, you might say, “In my schedule I have to do this, then I have to do this, then I have to do this.” You will go play video games because who wants to do all these things you have to do?
This is wrong! Set the damn schedule up so that you have the day you want. That is the trick. You can think, “OK, I have tomorrow. If I was going to set it up so it was the best possible day I could have — practically speaking — what would it look like?”
Well, then you schedule that.

"The truth does set you free, but the problem is that it destroys everything that is not worthy in you as it sets you free." (Share this on Twitter) ([link removed])
"What you want most will be found where you least want to look. What that means is that if you stand straight and face the darkness fully, what you discover is, at the darkest part is the brightest light." ( ([link removed]) Share this on Twitter ([link removed]) )

Psychoanalysis: Why Do Certain Things Bother You? | Jordan B Peterson
Dr. Peterson:
"Certain things bother you, and you might think, ‘I wish nothing bothered me.’ No, you do not really because if nothing bothered you, in some sense, that would be the same thing as not caring about anything. It actually turns out to be the case that the things that bug you are the things that you care about when they go wrong. So this is a really useful question to ask yourself."
