Re Human — Week 18 Reflections — Day 126

We are what we repeatedly do. I’m reinventing myself by improving in 15 areas at a time.

This process post is part of my Re Human project.

Today I finished a huge reflection — a recap of my year (2018):

My Life in a Year: 2018 Recap

Lots of stuff related to Re Human and not related to Re Human there.

The entire observable universe, in log scale. Assembled by Pablo Carlos Budassi.

Haven’t done an “axis reflection exercise” in a while, so want to do it for this week’s areas:

Progress Axis

1- Starting a startup, 2. Digital Drawing & Painting, 3. Fitness,

4. Salsa Dancing, 5. Graphic Design, 6. Piano,

7. Soccer trick juggling, 8. Writing, 9. Music Production,

10. Topics Deep Dives, 11. Books, 12. Meditation,

13. Different & Positive Social Interactions, 14. Media Influencer, 15. VR. Artist & Architect,

I’m also going to Brainstorm ideas on how to improve / experiments in each area. Going to try to think of high-learning potential or high-leverage things.

Going for 20 ideas.

Brainstorm:

1. Post every day on Instagram, until I get all the 15 areas posted (icon and write cool & insightful descriptions).
2. Practice Salsa in my mind (read somewhere today that just going through motions in our minds actually help us learn things, even physical memory).
3. Paste tags on my piano keyboard that say which key each note is.
4. Build a small, cool artifact in VR
5. Keep doing graphic designs for startup.
6. Graphic design posters about the future of education. Emotion to evoke: inspiration.
7. Use Hemingway to write concise and easy to understand posts for Instagram descriptions.
8. Use Chord Chord for fast brainstorming of musical chords to use in new music production ideas. Focus on quantity.
9. Increase the number of books I start, decrease the number of books I finish.
10. One day try the go-back-to-sleep lucid dreaming technique, waking up at 5am, staying awake for 30 mins reading a physical / Kindle book, then go back to bed to try to do a wake-induced lucid dreaming session.
11. Be more consistent with reading books on the Kindle app in my phone when I go to the bathroom in the morning, instead of emails/social media.
12. Try different piano approaches — look up chords of songs and try to play that way. Memorize chords.
13. Meditate in the afternoon too, 10mins.
14. Find other sources apart from books that are good related to my topic deep dive on Education Systems.
15. Send a question on my weekly newsletter that people reply to, compile the answers, and link it back in the next one.
16. Write and publish a post that’s not a daily/weekly/re human post on Medium.
17. Submit something to a Medium publication with lots of followers, like The Mission.
18. buy a weighted vest for working out
19. go on a long walk, most of the time without listening to books
20. create a list of the “top 100 ideal customers” for our new school/future of education/learning blocks idea. Start building relationships with them.
21. record myself doing handstand push-ups so I can correct my posture.
22. Actually listen to my Salsa teacher and buy Salsa shoes..
23. try tweeting on Twitter
24. link this weekly reflection in today’s weekly present newsletter

This Week’s Breakthrough Realizations

6D’s exponential framework: Whatever becomes digitized, goes through deceptive growth, then disruptive growth, then dematerializes → demonetizes → and democratizes products & services.

Organizing tasks not by importance, but by learning potential.

Why people believe crazy things like that the earth is flat: Crony beliefs: people are embraced or condemned according to their beliefs, so one function of the mind may be to hold beliefs that bring the belief-holder the greatest number of allies, protectors, or disciples, rather than beliefs that are most likely to be true.

To Be Interesting, Be Interested. The person speaking the most is not, by default, the most interesting.

How to get a mentor: make the life of someone you admire easier.

Differentiate between the good things and the essential things.

Baseball clarity trick to coach: just ask honest questions. No suggestions or feedback. Socratic method.
