Working 16 hours like it’s nothing.

I’m thinking of new subs. I know I’m about to hit a new level. This is a sure sign of coping. The final frontier of the next level. This time I’m ready.
-
My drive is insanely high. I wish I could work 16 hours everyday, but I can’t. I have other priorities as well. Which is interesting because I used to just try to get by.
-
I had a really interesting realisation around recon and growth. Something I’m still exploring, but it’s key. If I can handle recon like a champ I can grow like a champ.
-
I’ve started to work out, which is awesome.
-
I’m tired every morning but I still am motivated to work my butt off. Tired because I work hard and still neglect good sleep hygiene. Lol it’s going to bite me in the boom soon.
-
I swear I feel like every girl at work has a crush on me. It’s weird. I think I’m delusional, but that’s ok.
-
I can stay PMO free now for 10-15 days at a time and when I engage in it I only do it for once or twice. Big difference, but not where I want it to be.

I got handed the responsibility of the second most prioritised part of a software project. It’s stressful but a great opportunity to learn and prove myself. Challenging because it’s my second week in the project, in a complete new domain.
Anyway, mostly inner game stuffs like drive, action and overcoming limits.

Got invited to do an interview for my company.
Also, worked through massive recon and boy do I feel confident. 
Shuffling through the project. I was too eager and went too fast. But lessons learned. I ahea already know how to tackle the next project like a pro.
I’ve realised I’m on this road now, but I finally get why saint and fire recommend one to start with Genesis or Ascension before jumping in a beast like emperor. It’s too ruthless. You need to build some confidence and deal with some minor issues related to status and personal power before. You need to build some self-esteem, some other prerequisites. Because emperor will come at you hard, and from all angles, and you’ll just be miserable and probably quit.
Why? Start slow!
Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast!
Look at everybody, including me, walking in circles for years, not going anywhere.
You won’t listen of course.
I know I didn’t.
I will however stick this through, just incase this is just recon trying to make me change path. But next time, best believe I will go smooth.
I refuse to be a broken record.

"As long as there is hope, I should be brave enough to do it. Only an overwhelming benefit can cause me to go forward relentlessly. Fortune and risks come together, why should I go slow and steady to build my foundation? I want to ascend to heaven in one step! That’s right, this is the plan! Death without a proper burial if I fail, fly into the sky like a dragon if I succeed, and pave the way for my future plans. Hehehe, hahaha, life is but a few hundred years, it is all a grand gamble!” - from my all-time favourite book, Reverend Insanity

Emperor giveth and emperor taketh.
In 5 days we start cycle 4. 
I got some 15-20 goals of things I don’t like about myself or my life that I’ll be grinding on. I’m going to do a deeper audit as the journey treks ahead in the next cycle, to refine what I really want and what my ideal version and lifestyle is.
Also my mindset around recon is changing. Still learning about it, but I’m getting a better understanding it overall.

Are you a person that knows a-lot about hammers or are you a person who have alot of experience getting things you achieve with hammer?
Are you a someone who knows alot of history or are you making history?
Don’t mistake the tools or knowledge for the actual result.
Use the tools wisely.
Be wary of the tools and knowledge you have ends up owning you.
This is an example or easy way to spot: when you pick subliminals before you have clear goals. Then you pick goals based on the subliminal. It should be the other way around.
The subliminal ends up owning you, or rather, you let it own you.
Wake up. Grow up. Take responsibility.

The past few days, I decided I want to game and unwind after work, I sit at the pc, look at my gaming library, look at new games to buy, check out Twitch, but then 2-3 hours flew by and I just haven’t bought or played anything. It just feels so boring and a waste of time.
Don’t know what’s going on.

That’s Emperor, man
This happens to me occasionally when I don’t have enough energy and enthusiasm for something productive

I see, so you felt like when you need rest nothing is interesting enough, because you want to get back on the grind?
Can you rephrase that? I’m not sure I understand you correctly

Done. Makes sense?
4th cycle starts today. Pushing to 4 min.
C4
Emperor 04:00
Index Gate: UPX 04:00
Recon been tough. I realised recon is always extra rough around cycle 3-4, which is usually when I switch stack. But this time I’m going to work through this. I refuse to be a broken record.

Yes, thank you
Well, I honestly just think that it’s recon - you do behavior from your old personality (in this case, playing games), but the Emperor script has already been ingrained to your subconscious so that you feel bored when not working towards your goals
OR, it might be just boredom with one activity. I don’t believe that we can get “tired” and “fatigued” in our day-to-day life even if we are very productive. I believe that when we are tired, means we are just bored of the activity and other productive activities don’t excite us as much. In this case, either gotta find another productive and very exciting activity, or look at your life and figure out if you have some “leaks of energy”
Look at the section “Psyche, Energy and Choices” of this post: Best discipline sub? - #34 by WorldOvertaker
This post might also be helpful. I’m yet to add more stuff there… On enthusiasm, life enjoyment and true productivity
