The discipline system & The thick black system

This system works for me over and over again.
The discipline system:

1. Break big project down into smaller task.

2. Pretend that the big task is easy and a normal day to day activity: Learning to spell in english actually is much much more difficult than learning Oracle.

3. Reward yourself. Schedule your fun time.


The above can be used to tackle anything from big task to difficult people to depression. Alcoholics Anonymous use it "Living day by day".

This is probably the best book to know the system

And the system is really passive, lazy, like asking you to tolerating something painful, look at the state of India.

But I remember a system that works everytime.

The other thing is the thing you are most attached to end up controlling you like the ego. Hence detachment, and no ego is a step on the evolution.

Also stress is not necessary for success. Satisfaction is a better way.

But....
