a philosophy and notes

1. Prescriptive - 5BX, diet and meditation for superpowers
2. Do things daily. Incomplete & imperfect are okay. Missing a day is not.
3. Quantity. over quality. Ship regularly


1.

5BX is a set of exercises with an increasing level of complexity and intensity.  5BX has warmup and stretches built in, and culminates in a heart straining on-the-spot jogging or walk/run alternatives.

It has multiple charts ( A-F) with multiple levels within each. The progression takes 4 days per each, level, worked daily, for around 15 levels.

Over the long term, done daily, it increases stamina, endurance& flexibility . This is built in into the exercises. The on the spot jogging ( not the walking substitute) breaks a sweat, and puts me out of the lethargic zone. Mood perks up almost immediately.
On the days when this is not doable, see if you can do a walk or a yoga session.

2. The core principle is to do something on a daily basis towards the life I want.

3.
Shipping regularly, somewhat less than perfect items ,that too daily, will eventually get you there. Shipping a perfect thing happens once a lifetime, never more
this also means -  get t-shirts printed, talk to people etc do things before you are ready

among the corollaries - follow these - go for expertise and depth. These pay off. There must be effort on expertise, with results , for over a year.
Go for bold large attempts instead of feeble tip-toeing.

Work on habits . Do tasks that affirm identity, no matter how feeble they maybe. ( from
