"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I have been doing some introspection in the past few days and I have noticed that when I'm not doing school work, enjoying with friends, family and acquaintances or teaching myself computer science, I spend my time doing meaningless things and activities. It's not that I'm paralyzed and do nothing, but this problem f*cks up my time management plan on a daily basis.

I know I can do this with operant conditioning, but I would like to hear the best and worst practices to fix this issue.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Are they really meaningless if you enjoy them?

Instead of looking for meaning in your life try seeking fulfillment instead. Then you won't have to validate your life based on the arbitrary definitions of what every other individual sees as meaningful.

They are sort of an addiction, or an obstacle I want to pass in order to pursue fulfillment.

Time is merely an illusion for control, It has as much significance as you give it.
Unfortunately too many people become dictated by time to the extent, they stop living in the present and are either living in their past memories or looking forward/dreading an event in the future. While their life simply flashes by, without even realizing.

Time is not your issue. If you are not willfully conducting these 'meaningless' activities for enjoyment, than it is likely it is an automated response to an upcoming stressful situation, referred to as procrastination. Until you address this situation you will likely continue spending time on the 'meaningless' activities.

If that is not the case either, than you need to acknowledge these 'meaningless' activities are actually your medium for enjoyment and not necessarily a hindrance to your life, after all you are achieving an outcome.

I actually enjoy doing nothing and just breathing.
