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

Thank you, will check it out.
It’s definitely related to recon in some way. It’s also a complex thing for me. Is it enjoyable, am I coping, or both?
Started having thoughts of streaming again. But that is also a slippery slope. Because it feels like it might be a delusion. As in “faked” productivity, but in reality I’m just coping. Like I’m “chasing” my dream, doing this streaming thing, but in reality just coping. Just rationalisation to escape.
Anyway, confusing times ahead.

FOCUS, what a concept.
Only takes a little focus and you running laps around the cheetos.
Stressful final weeks of project and I’m getting heat on me, so I just need to put my head down, lock in and get through this, one task and breath at a time. 🫡
In other news, this girl at work is deer in the headlight staring multiple times during a convo with other people. Like talk, pause, stare, continue convo, pause, stare, continue convo, repeat.
It’s weird I’ve seen her do this multiple times. I just find it interesting, because I’m in a LTR already. I wonder if that’s just one of her weird quirks or she got something going for me.
Anyway, she’s a superior and I feel like I have to handle this one delicate.
Gym habit going great. 
“And why are you worried about clothes? See how the lilies and wildflowers of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin wool to make clothing, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory and splendor dressed himself like one of these.”
It’s all about perspective. The mind can be very limiting.
Little me and my little life situation.
Your view is limited.

I was suprised how easy my code was to change to meet changing requirements this week.
Usually it’s so bad that it takes ages to change, and I don’t know where to start. At least that’s my memory of past jobs.
Now I just pick a spot and make a tiny change, output the results, and it’s exactly the results I wanted. And the code file is big. It’s almost a god class.
But it’s all clear, which means I’ve written really clean, flexible and understandable code.
Knock on wood.
Another thing I’ve been contemplating out of nowhere past days is self-love. Unconditional, inherit love. Of course, we might be disappointed with urselves at times, but there is still inherent self- worth.
It just bubbles up, out of nowhere. 
I want to cultivate it more.
