Protip: Start observing a No-meeting day. My son plays Minecraft/KSP 60-90 minutes/night, before bed.Īnd yes, I'm old enough to have a teenage son and I WFH. Weekends we tend to do MORE of the list above (gym workout in the morning, disc golf in the afternoon, pickle ball in the evening, etc). I don't wake up wanting to get at things. My partner goes out of her way to see her friends a few times/month (book club, girls group, happy hours). I do stuff with my son most days (gym, disc golf, pickle/raquetball, tennis), but he also goes to his mother's half-time. That's all I need (should be said - most people have a cancellation rate on "plans" - so I'll make plans, but only have to show up periodically because people end up with conflicts don't know how other people manage this, but it does make me reluctant to increase the "planning" requests from other people). Our family things are running, hiking, working out, dog outings. We usually watch a show or two each night (or Youtube playlists, movies). We joke we have an "early empty restaurant" habit. My family and I, if we go out go out early. I am usually done with job-work around 4p. If I'm in a creative mode, I can shorten the workout a bit and grab an extra hour in the mornings to write, etc. It’s 20:39 here in Canberra and I’m already tucked in. Oh, and of course if you’re up at 5am you need to be in bed early too. Check out the app Sorted3 (that’s a superscript for ‘cubed’) for iOS, that’s changed my life. On the topic of planning your day the day before, I can thoroughly recommend that as well. It helps if you can block out your calendar until 11am, which I do, and it’s mostly respected. By the time everyone else has settled in at 9:30am, you’ve already done all of the productive stuff. Ideally already have an idea of what you want to do – plan it the night before. Don’t go to the gym, that’s barbaric.Ħam. Take a full hour to drink tea and read the news and eat some cereal or whatever. Then I met my partner, and she’d get up early, and slowly it just happened. I know, I know, I sound like a douche already. You’re gonna hate me, but I have the answer: get up at 5am. Nietszche might well say that this means the stoic life was too unnatural to be followed without failure if it's most well known proponents couldn't even stick to it. The irony being that he's so good at meditation that he sees no value in the practice. I don’t know what the hell these other crack pots are doing". There were no thougths in my head whatsoever. Ron Swanson goes meditating with Chris Treger, and says the following afterwards: "All told we were in there about 6 hour, and no I was not meditating. It reminds me of this scene in Parks and Recreation. I'm extremely drawn to stoic philosophy, but am definitely not stoic in character! Personal philosophies especially. I personally think that those that seek out specific philosophies are often those that need them the most not those that fit them the best. And reading the Meditations, I see Marcus Aurelius constantly admonishing, himslef for his failings to stick to the stoic principles or reminding himself to do so. He apparently lived quit a hedonistic life. Seneca is well known to have been quite hypocritical. If we take two of the most well known, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius. I am not sure that the way you've applied it to the stoics is accurate. While I love Nietszche, and agree that the philisophy cannot be separated from the philosopher.
