<!-- TITLE: Consilium Grandum versio duo --> <!-- SUBTITLE: Redrafting the CG, one year later --> # Why redraft? I've moved a lot, changed a lot, and I need to re-validate my meta-structure to make sensible decisions going forward. + I've become relatively good at internalizing the program, and acting naturally from it. + I stopped keeping the proper notes :/ I want this CG to reflect reality + I can DEFINITELY improve, A LOT But I'm realizing as I'm reading CG1, I agree + think a lot of this is great. So is there a need for more structural change here? Or is it just edits? # 1. Motivation for this plan (quid movet hoc consilium) I know well that my productivity is WAY lower than possible, and my potential is huge. I want to broaden this aim towards improving my character, my social impact on immediate friends and family, and my overall well-being. I maintain that although `errare est humanus`, humans are human by virtue of their defining `quid est errare et non errare`. And in this spirit, I want to document what it means for me to succeed, and work to critically evaluate `mei errores`. This is a map for life. This is a living document, which I can revise at any time. # 2. Pillars These pillars weave in and out of each other, and at the moment are in no particular order **Level 0** + Accomplish + Financially stable + Meaningful days, as many as possible **Level 1** + Ideating new projects + Pushing projects into success, completion + Physical health and fitness + Organization of my workspace + Social roles I serve for others + Meta, reflection, evaluating performance + Appearance to others + Fun, romance + Learning + Documenting + Life + Projects # 3. Scheduling All this seems like a ridiculous way to organize my time. In hours? I just need to think of something better. Waking hours: 16h/day = 112h/wk Driving hours: vary Eating: 8h/day? 30% social, 30% work, 30% self-care, 10% whatever \= 34h work, social, self- in a week \= ~5h/day avg \= ~3.5 10h days \= ~2 full focused days (Patrick did 10-9-10-8-6 for M-Fs) + This division only works if the spears don't impede each other + The division can be tricked by mixing categories (social / work, social / self, self / work, all three?) ## Work 38-hour schedule + (8h = 3h Pat, 1h Haimeé, 4h study) Spanish + (2h = 1h me, 1h Pat) Meta, scheduling the week [this can also happen ad-hoc] + (10h) dissertation + (8h) RA Ben + (5h) RA Minsu + (5h) NeededNetworks ## Social Grind work, so you can dive in socially. Grind social, so you can dive in work-wise. 5 hours social per day is *way* more than I've been doing in the past. ## Self- Meditation, exercise, fun projects. # FAQ ### Can I really get behind my projects? Short answer, yes. Most of them. + For Patrick to become a successful author (because it's good for him, and I want that) + For Misbah and I's relationship to continue (because it's good for me, and I like it) + To produce a map of science (because it's inspiring and fun, builds leadership capability, data visualization, coding, applicable to my dissertation) + To mine something from the NYT (because I feel I owe it to David - why?) + Other projects (because I'm interested) + NeededNetworks (money, impact, notoriety) + Patrick's Twitter + Conspiracy Network (fun, impactful, intense, profitable, analysis) + ChatBot (huge social impact, extreme notoriety, sexy analytical problem) + Skin conductance analysis (academic interest, purely sociological and social psychological aims)
