​​4 reasons for the constant lack of time.

We constantly encounter such factors that distract us from our planned itinerary. They slow us down, suck the energy out of us, and suppress our mood. These are the kinds of factors we are going to talk about today. I think it's important to talk about it periodically to understand what to pay attention to in your own case so that you don't face the consequences of missing out on this problem.

▫️ The enemies of the acetylcholine system. [/b]Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that triggers the concentration function when the brain receives the appropriate signal. If this system is clogged, we are unable to immerse ourselves in the process. We are always distracted by everything and take a very long time to tune in. Social media feeds, porn, TV shows, and notifications during work clog up this system and pull us out of our work state.

▫️ [b]Dissipation of time and attention. Lack of structure, plan and discipline, sooner or later, causes us to start grabbing at everything. It's inevitable. We'll either be late on deadlines, or we won't know where to start first, or something else will happen. But when we're spaced out, we miss details everywhere and, consequently, we either do very mediocre work or we burn out and don't do it at all.

▫️ Harmful habits. Bad food that inhibits digestive processes, lack of sleep, disrupted circadian rhythms, passive lifestyles, alcohol and cigarettes. For many people, this is the usual set of the standard Friday. All of these things affect the brain, our hormonal system, our recovery, our condition and mood to varying degrees. Therefore, it is extremely important to strive to minimize these things in your life.

▫️ Lack of time management skills. In fact, as life shows, this is extremely important. Research this topic, pump up the skills you need, and you'll see how differently you can manage your time. This is especially necessary for anyone who works for themselves, without a strict schedule. Some seemingly trivial techniques really set up the day so that you manage everything and still feel better than before.

wow. summary of what you guys are saying. nice message blaacbonz

this guy must be redpiller

From his music, I think Blackbonez is Redpilled to some extent though I haven't listened to much of his works but the little I have, they are Redpilled.
Like one of my favorite right now titled "4 Door Jeep".

Here's is some lyrics:
"Am a busy man
But shorty want the dick often
She wanna Bleep for two hours
What the Bleep are we fucking?
Bitch, I got money to make
And you know time is of essence
So what I give you you take
And you gon' have to be grateful"

Just examine the lines carefully...

​​The importance of compliments.

it's important to surround yourself with the right people in order to grow. And that actually makes sense to a lot of people. But still, the problem has been as acute as it has ever been. Understand how surroundings work from a technical point of view: - "If you tell a man 100 times that he's a pig, he'll grunt on the 101st."

"You are the arithmetic mean, among the five around you" is the perfect quote to write out, memorize and remind yourself daily. And compliments create an environment for us in which we, though not immediately, begin to believe ourselves to be strong, smart, and beautiful. And the belief in these beliefs is reflected in our behavior, which only begins to become more confident.

Now to a stort. You know Mike Tyson? That boxer? Do you know his story? If not, I highly recommend you do. Because of a difficult childhood, Mike was a very uptight, very battered, cowardly, weak-willed teenager who had problems with his nerves. Do you understand the difficulty of the situation? He felt weak, but his defensive reactions were aggressive and uncontrollable. He was constantly under stress.

When Cass D'Amato met him and started coaching him, he showered him with thousands of compliments every day. Even when things didn't work out for Mike, his coach always told him he was doing great. Always. Sometimes it was absurd, but Cass D'Amato got it into Tyson's head that he was a genius boxer and a future champion, so Tyson himself gradually began to believe it.

And that's why only coach could influence this unstable man. Nobody had such an authority for Mike, as his coach. Because that person was the source of that confidence, that belief, that sense of mastery that was present within Tyson.

And the power of a compliment works both ways. It's important for you to get compliments in order to get better and to have an incentive to grow. And it's important for you to get compliments so that people respect you, appreciate you, and stick with you. So try to praise your loved ones more often. Even if there is no reason to do so.

​​Dangerous habits.

I have compiled here a list of popular habits that many people use and have no idea how much it inhibits their effectiveness and damages their health. Some kind of reminder.

▫️ Sleep deprivation. Yes, it's also a habit. When you go to bed and your body already wants to go to sleep and you haven't yet, then this struggle with sleep starts, where you watch some obscure videos, articles, and so on. Sleep deprivation creates a deficit of important hormones and affects brain function. So someone who can't go to bed without additional "rituals" is severely suppressing their potential.

▫️ Sugar. Abusing sugar greatly affects how your body will respond to food and how it will feel afterwards. If after eating you want to sleep, lie down, no energy, it's a very bad sign. Also, sugar is often the cause of acne.

▫️ A passive lifestyle. It is my deep conviction that a man should move. It's not even so much about sports as it is about going somewhere, trying something, watching something. I talk to men on both coasts and those who constantly create adventures for themselves are wealthier and more interesting individuals.

▫️ Overeating. It happens especially when stressed or when there's nothing to do. Often it is something like trying to drown out some thoughts or worries. But then there are those who just don't know how to control their portions. This is one of my habits. I have to put a lot of effort into it, but it's necessary to feel good and this "restriction" always pays for itself.

▫️ Melancholy. It's hard to live when you're constantly dissatisfied with everything. Understandably, everyone has crises and bad moods are common. But when it's your habitual state, what motivation can we talk about when even such basic things are under pressure? The role of the victim is a weak position and needs to be dealt with.

I'm sure many will have more than one match. Effectiveness starts with working on such seemingly basic things. Fix the situation here and you'll already feel the change. Save it, reread it, and teach a friend.

​​Developing communication skills. Introductory Part 1.

Communicative skills are extremely important for forming social circles, making acquaintances, making friends and negotiating, buying goods and services, signing contracts and doing business, building productive relationships, resolving conflicts and finding mutual understanding with others. And if a person can not communicate, on his way he will meet many problems and difficulties, as in his personal life, and in the professional sphere.

Simply speaking, communication skills constitute a special behavioral complex that allows each of us:

establish contacts;
to interest the interlocutor;
maintain communication;
maintain a relationship;
argue our thoughts;
assert their interests;
resolve conflicts;
use nonverbal means of communication;
protect themselves from manipulation;
understand others, the motives of their actions and reactions.


If you know how to communicate with people properly, you will easily achieve anything. Every day you will make connections.

​​10 Ways to Develop Willpower and Discipline

▫️ Set goals, damn it. No goal - it's unclear where to apply willpower, which means it's not needed.

▫️ Start small: do not 20 push-ups, but 5. To run 500 m instead of 5 km. The main thing is to start.
▫️
Apply the simple 5-minute rule. Tell yourself "I'll try to do this for 5 minutes and then I'll stop if it gets bad." It helps to start doing it.

▫️ Focus on 1 task rather than spreading out over 20. Multitasking? Get that crap out of your head, start with one important task.

▫️ Learn to say no to temptation.

▫️ Carve out a day of rest. Athletes call it a "cheat meal", when you can, for example, eat pizza on Friday. On the other days of a strict diet.

▫️ Find a coach or mentor, who will pass on the experience and control everything.

▫️ Steel magnate Michael Schwab's method. Set yourself 3 key goals a day, no more.

▫️ Forget about motivation. It's like sitting around waiting for the weather.

▫️ If nothing comes out, do nothing. Take a break.

Come on man, start moving toward your goals. I believe in you.

​​How not to become a sissy in a relationship? Part 1.

Any man becomes a sissy either immediately or gradually, if he forgets about his principles and masculinity.

How to become a sissy right away?

Start winning the girl, show your need for her. She's sick today and you took her a bunch of flowers across town, and you're not even in a relationship with her yet. Writing all the time, trying to figure things out. Constantly courting, even if the girl clearly makes it clear that she doesn't need it. In other words, play knight.

How to become gradually?

This is a more frequent case. Often a relationship begins with mutual sympathy, she's in love with you, you're in love with her. A mutual interest that suits you completely. Then the following happens: you feel coldness from her, estrangement, she communicates less, answers less often, phone conversations either ended at all or became much shorter. What do most guys do? Start showing up and acting like from the first question. Sound familiar? Congratulations, you've agreed to be a wimp.

Even if you do achieve a relationship with this girl, you're going to be a wimp in it. Because you've already invested a lot and she hasn't done anything yet and her balance of importance is higher than yours.

What happened? She lost interest and fear of loss. That's it, you're in her power and she understands that. Why is this happening? Most likely, having lost your head in love, you forget about your hobbies, your friends, your business. You give your whole self only to the girl. You don't get together with guys anymore, you stop exercising, in short, you cut down the maximum of your life to let her in. At some point you suffocated her with it and stopped being interesting to her. In fact, a guy who does something like that accepts the role of the wingman and becomes a wimp.

A man with principles and his own interests will not sacrifice his life for his relationship. He will either alternate or combine, but not replace. Such a man cannot be bent. Consequently, it's scary to lose him. And, mind you, he won't even have to drive a bouquet across town.

​​7 male mistakes that everyone knows about, but keeps making.

There are some things you can't do and don't do. For example, jumping out the window, jumping into drunken company, arguing with a stupid man, and so on. We clearly understand what such experiments can lead to. But there are just as obviously stupid things that lead to just as obviously bad consequences, but we keep doing them for some reason. And such seemingly obvious mistakes we're going to talk about today.

Having unprotected sex with a stranger. We, for some reason, are used to the fact that a sick person can be identified by his appearance. And when we see a well-groomed woman who smells good, we immediately forget that she might have a whole bunch of diseases. Never forget to protect yourself! Even if you think you're sure you're safe!

▫️ Trust a crying woman. [/b]For men, crying is something embarrassing, an extreme boiling point. If a man cries, he's definitely at an emotional low point. And we project the same view on women. But for them, tears are as much an emotion as laughter. One minute she's crying, ten minutes later she's laughing. So you can't believe those tears and you have to be able to keep your cool.

[b]Bragging about your "victories" while in a relationship. If you're a fan of running left, do it quietly. All your poncey could backfire on you. Someone may accidentally misspoke, and someone may not accidentally. Either way, someone else messes up and you have to clean it up.

▫️ Letting a woman go through your phone. There is no strict "no" here, but if your woman checks your phone just to check, for no reason, this is a serious red flag and most likely your relationship will soon give a crack.

To forgive cheating or betrayal. A woman is capable of repenting her sins so sincerely that any actor would envy her. But once you accept her betrayal, you emasculate yourself. It will pop up in your mind periodically, even if the woman has really stopped cheating. But as practice shows, nothing ends with one betrayal.

▫️ Giving gifts to be forgiven. Every time you give a gift after a scandal, you encourage her to bitch. She understands that you're totally attached to her and even if you're not guilty of anything, you'll still come running, apologizing, giving gifts. It's like a game to her.

▫️ Change your appearance for a woman. If she doesn't like your hair, your shirt, or your sneakers, that's her problem. When you first started building a relationship, I'm sure she was fine with everything about you. Now she wants to make you into some kind of idol of her fantasies. Chances are, she's starting to lose interest and the last thing you should do in that situation is take her advice and pick a new barbershop.

If your relationship gives you doubts and suspicions, there's probably something wrong with it. Listen to your intuition, because as practice shows, when you think something is wrong, you don't think it is. We all understand that jumping out the window is bad. We all also understand that forgiving betrayal is bad, too. But for some reason, we do not jump from the window, but we give second chances more than a dozen times.

​�The best stock return in 30 years��

If you look at the companies that have brought the best results during this time, you get a rather interesting combination of well-known technology giants and companies that are hardly perceived by most investors as unique investment opportunities.

�Among the tech giants:
- The top 1️⃣0️⃣ includes Amazon, Nvidia, Netflix and Apple
- Google, Facebook and Tesla have a much shorter public history and have not had time to grow so much
- Microsoft was already quite expensive 30 years ago, so on average it did not grow so fast

�But most of the list are companies from which you can hardly expect record returns.:
- Top 1️⃣ - producer of energy drinks Monster Beverage
- Top 3️⃣ - seller of Pool products
- Further down the list, there are generally "dying" industries like tobacco (Altria) or offline retail (Best Buy, Lowe's, Ross Stores), etc.

But at the same time, there is not a single raw material company, industrial company or, for example, a bank in the list.�
��I think there are two main reasons for this.

▪️First, such businesses are very capital-intensive and they need constant large investments for rapid growth.
▪️Secondly, as a rule, business in such companies is cyclical and depends on external factors, so it is much more difficult to grow steadily for 30 years.

�The conclusion from these statistics, in my opinion, is quite simple

Interesting companies can be in any field, even very non-obvious ones, so it's worth looking at the market broadly in search of opportunities, and not limiting yourself to some individual industries or other factors. But if you are looking for really long-term investment opportunities, it is better to look at relatively small non-cyclical companies that do not need a lot of capital to grow a business.

​�� About market cycles

The American stock market also had its own supercycles - as many as three in its more than a century history.�

The last cycle began in 2009 and in fact continues to this day. Nevertheless, now more than ever there are many prerequisites for a "decade in the side", of which there were as many as five5️⃣:

▪️The valuation of companies has a historical correlation with future profitability. Now, most American and European companies are valued historically expensive.

▪️The share of the world stock market as a percentage of world GDP is at historical highs - more than 120% (before that, a value above 100% was observed only in 2000 and 2008).

▪️Over the past 700 years, there has been a steady trend of declining interest rates on a global scale. This also supported stocks as an asset class. However, now there is simply nowhere to fall lower.

�Of course, all this does not mean that the market is guaranteed to spend the next 10 years in the sideways. But nevertheless, it is likely that it will be almost impossible to earn double-digit returns simply by sitting out in the indices.��‍♂️

​​How to train for different body types?

The more individual it is, the more effective it is. In any sport program must take into account all the features of the body. How he sleeps, eats, which muscle group lags behind and which, on the contrary, leads, depends on the whole process of training. But still, there are a number of tips, adhering to which you can accelerate your results.

Today we're going to talk about how to approach training for different body types: ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph.

▫️ Ectomorph is a lean, lean physique with a minimum of fat and, in fact, also muscles. It is extremely difficult to gain mass for this type, but even more difficult to keep mass. It is worth a little nervousness, lack of sleep, lack of food, missing a couple of workouts, as your body begins to immediately lose weight. The load for this type should be regular. The smaller the break between approaches, the more effective the result. Ideally (if you are talking about a gym), weight should be selected in such a way that the last repetition goes extremely hard or does not go at all. The workout itself should not be much longer than one hour, because the necessary hormones start to be released worse after about 45 minutes.

▫️ The endomorph is a complete physique, easily gaining both muscle mass and fat mass. Metabolism is aimed at storing fat, so it is difficult for this type to maintain perfect abs, even more difficult to control the fat on the sides. It is not enough for this type just to train, because unlike the first type, endomorphs gain muscle much easier. Watching your diet is very important here. Try to eat less junk in the form of chips, hamburgers with cola, all sorts of chocolates. Workouts are dominated by classic heavy exercises like squat, bench press, and deadlift.

▫️ The mesomorph is a lucky guy, if I may say so, in a sports environment. It is easy for a mesomorph to lose weight as well as to gain it. Of course, he loses weight much worse than the ectomorph and gains it longer than the endomorph, but in the combination of factors he is still in the lead. Broad shoulders, voluminous chest and strong legs are the key to success not only in heavy workouts, but also in cardio. The main thing for the mesomorph is to watch his proportions, so as not to become too square and clumsy. The physique should resemble a triangle, the base of which is the shoulders, and the top at the waist.

Sports have always been an integral part of all successful people. It helps to dispel, to gain self-confidence, to free your thoughts, to replenish your energy resources. From dating to career, an athletic person will always be more promising.
