Are you better at achieving your values since Hammertime Day 1? If so, what helped?
I think so—the following themes have mainly stuck out in the past few weeks:
Noticing—paying a bit more attention to my reactions and inspecting them with more curiosity
Clarity—writing out my semi stream of consciousness here has shown me patterns in my thoughts that I couldn’t see in my head
CoZE—I’ve been making an attempt to try new things and to notice when I have arbitrary unwritten rules
Doing rather than simulating—actually doing the exercises is much different than just thinking about them. Actually writing is much different than thinking about writing something. This has transferred a outside of Hammertime (I’m a broken record on this one)
Reductionism + recursion—Gives a great general framework for solving known unknowns
Trusting past me—I’ve noticed that I’m more willing to respect the choices and plans of the me of a few days/weeks ago. I’m tired currently, and I know it’s arbitrary, but the me of 20 days ago said he would comment every day, so I’m going to respect his wishes and do it.
Overall, I think writing out my thoughts, CoZE, and trusting my past self have given me the biggest benefits so far, which surprises me.
