My night ritual for tonight is going through my day tomorrow. Checking if I like it.

Kill the past. Murder the future.

Kill this future. Return to the present. This is all I have. This is all I will ever have. https://t.co/HLFpieKn8U

I remember musing as a child, about the Switch. It was a critique of society as I saw it, where I saw people say they just needed grades, then just a degree, then just needed a job, as if at some point, a switch would flip, and their real life would start.

With this renewed present, I have the energy and desire to make tomorrow truly great. Actually do what I need to.

Previously, I didn’t. Why would I? https://t.co/6BxKAGi6hx

Re: procrastination Our brains are quite often rational . . . for the time period they are holding in awareness. Procrastination becomes not so much a problem of irrational action as much as not inviting into deep awareness a long enough time horizon.

Because of some high-level installed program that just says “Just work”? I uninstalled that. [Oops. Hurray!] Work has to make sense for me to do it. https://t.co/6sVKnz6Co3

Maybe it’s because I went from “Work all the time by default, fun to spare” to “Leisure all the time by default, some work to spare.” https://t.co/gH67ASyVkH

If it doesn’t make sense, I don’t do it, and right now, it doesn’t make sense; there is no felt sense from which it makes sense. So I trace my day tomorrow, kill the future, and see if one arises.

[☀️🥱🥣] Going to start my morning by eating and reading a book. (this makes me smile) [why?] It feels spacious. It feels correct. Unconfused.

(What’s unconfused about it?) If I just potter around, procrastinating, or feeling rushed doing . . . I’m missing out on life. It’s wrong. The world and work is EMPTY. The world and work is EMPTY. The world and work is EMPTY. The world and work is EMPTY. https://t.co/qAfPoMs42V

You are done with life. Whatever it is you needed to do to earn your place here, you have done it. Now it is just survival and thriving and helping.

The world and work is EMPTY. [What now?] The world and work is EMPTY. “So go do what you want.” Huh.

I previously phrased tweets this way, but they felt ew/unhelpful/dissociated. I’m not trying to build knowledge here. I want to feel what I actually feel, get surprised like I got surprised above, and continue onward. Then it helps at least one person (me). https://t.co/diTG9TqAnP https://t.co/mA3KT9y4pG

Something @nosilverv said that stuck with me: The point of a thought isn’t a thought. It’s to get to the next one.
