#Things to consider
- The key is to always have a meaningful challenge. Our ikigai is the reason we get up in the morning. The key is to always having a meaningful challenge to overcome in order to maintain flow.
- Do not eat until you are full. Stop when you are at 80%.
- Designate one day of the week for a technological fasting, a sabbath of sorts.
- Don’t look at any kind of screen the first hour you are awake and the last hour before going to sleep. Reflect on what you hope to achieve before starting to work.
- Deepen your own sense of responsibility, stop identifying others as the cause of your problems.
- Lots of sitting will age you. Walk to work, or at least 20 minutes a day.
- Be conscious of your daily routine in order to detect harmful habits.
- Go to bed early, get up early.
- Practice mindfulness. Meditation is one way to exercise our mental muscles and enjoy flow.
- Rituals help us by giving us the process, the path to achieving a goal.
- Drink more green tea.
- Do I need to visit Kyoto?
- I should eat less salt.
- Check up radio tasio.
- The shikuwasa fruit.
#Reading log
2022-06-14: The biggest “aha“ moment for me in listening to the book was the sentence: “The key is to always having a meaningful challenge to overcome in order to maintain flow.” That helps me frame my thinking to “What is my current meaningful challenge to overcome?”
2021-08-26: This book taught me the importance in having a purpose, something that you are made to do. In that sense it reminds me of 📚 Man’s Search for Meaning and 📚 The Courage to Be Disliked.
