30.7.25: Emperor: The Executive (50sec)
30.7.25: Love Bomb (50sec)
The first run on 50 secs went smooth and with good productive results.
Starting and doing tasks was easy, no more hesitation and “dragging” to do a task. It was flow.
The second run already caused recon. I started procrastinating again. I will cut back on the next run to 40secs.

40 seconds without recon. Was productive yesterday and today. Importand observation: the productiveness came easily, I didn’t have to “press-through”.

40 Seconds seems to be my sweet spot for the moment. No recon, smooth ride, less procrastination.

"Forgotten " to run The Executive and Love Bomb on the scheduled day. Did it in the morning, the day after. An hour or so after running the titles, my productivity increased, procrastination wanned.

Again, I “forgot” to run the titles. My subconscious really doesn’t like the changes the titles bring… I ran it yesterday evening. This morning started very productive after waking up (I was quick in the shower, so I had more time for learning), but it faded as soon as I arrived at work.
I had a strong realization on Friday while working on an app for a customer. I realized that I often procrastinate to avoid facing the possible failure that doing something can bring. I seem to fear failure like the devil fears holy water… After working the whole day on the app, I was really frustrated because I couldn’t get to grips with the new concept of Web Components and thought of myself as a failure (I’m very harsh on myself, even if it was the first time I really delved into the topic). Then I had the above realization, and when I worked on the project again yesterday, all the puzzle pieces came together. I really need to be more lenient with myself and trust the process.
As I started with Emperor: The Executive, I also picked up a book that I wanted to read for years. “The Slight Edge” by Jeff Olson. It’s the perfect companion to The Executive. So good.
“The Slight Edge” by Jeff Olson is a philosophy emphasizing that success is built through consistent, small, positive actions over time. It’s about making slightly better choices daily, which, when compounded, lead to significant results. The book contrasts this with the idea of overnight success, highlighting that consistent, incremental improvements are the key to achieving long-term goals.

50 secs is too much!
So, washout for 5 days.
Love bomb seems to cause alot of recon for most people tbh,id say just drop it and try emperor executive solo
Thanks for the recomendation. I tought the recon is from The Executive. But I’ll give it a try!
Since starting Emperor: The Executive I started with implementing the slight edge principle into my day. Do everyday a little action that brings you nearer to your goal. Have to to a lot of work regarding my “slack habbits” at work. It’s one of the most painfull things I experience. I try hard to focus and concentrate my whole worktime on tasks and projects but more often than not I catch me slacking around (internet, discord, forums, etc.).
I’m in washout, and The Executive is blooming. Over the weekend I was productive as hell, even established an anti-procrastination routine based on the Slight Edge philosophy. One caveat: this productivity gain/anti procrastination only applies to my private time. At work I’m still very unproductive. But I will overcome that, like an alcoholic will overcome his addiction.
I started a new cycle, the second with The Executive. Based on @Judoka’s recommendation:
I run it solo for one cycle. I started yesterday with 32 seconds.

The drive for execution is still high. Love it.

Somehow forgot to run the title on Saturday. Instead, I ran it yesterday. I had the internal urge to run it as a full loop, so I did.

Hard to say. I had some really tought days personally and relationship wise, so productivity was for the … but I realized that I’m not the microloop guy. Microloops realy hit me too hard; full loops I can process more smoothly.
