Revving the productivity engine too high. It results in a lot of unwanted outcomes related to stress buildup.<p>How I've tried to solve it:<p>- Therapy, coaching, becoming a coach, pursuing various certifications<p>- Measurement of stress levels through various means (others and my own). Spreadsheeting, journaling, inventing own measurement devices<p>- Supplements & nootropics<p>- Developing my own modular productivity system<p>- Diet, exercise & fitness<p>All of those have been reasonably successful so far, and I've made a lot of progress, with a loooong way to go. I'd say my zone of current expertise is at about level m2_7 in my subjective measurement system [0] which was developed for assessing progress in areas like this.<p>Current ideas and measures for the future:<p>- I came up with a new way of measuring time that's more intuitive and less exact. It's based on personality theory. It's brand new though and needs more time.<p>- Other chemicals (i.e. 2020's _Druk_ / _Another Round_ experiment; I recently left a very restrictive cult, so...Experiment idea A + New situation B = :-) )<p>- Developing new words/labels for the problem that don't involve the term 'stress'<p>- Exploring new ways to stabilize a given situation, schedule, or process<p>A long way to go but I really enjoy this work, particularly the subjective side of it. It does bring me a lot of joy to work on this problem, annoying as it is :-)<p>0. <a href="https://www.friendlyskies.net/intj/from-experience-to-mastery-a-framework" rel="nofollow">https://www.friendlyskies.net/intj/from-experience-to-master...</a>
