    Hello again everybody! This time around I've got TWO new observations for you! The first one is pretty straightforward and simple: When you are given good advice, take it. Pretty simple, right? Not so much. We're all creatures of Ego. That means that we want to be right more than we want to...

    And with that, I'm personally considering my question answered. Time to do my due diligence. Thank you everyone for your time and answers!

    Simplified, yet answers my question beautifully. Thanks! If I am, it is not my intention. Even on the days I don't feel like putting the hours in, I show up and do some work at the very least. But you are correct. Doing the wrong things while experimenting is still progression. This post...

    An update: While in a rush, I actually got a book of his called Getting Things Done. I was lucky since it is pure gold. It's essentially a 3-hr seminar on how to turn any goal into a process and how to never bother again with trying to schedule in your head. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Time...

    Process of developing strategy of turning goals into actionable plans?

    Absolutely correct! And the issue becomes worse because of my background in R&D. The best times I've ever had in progressing is when I only though of that step right in front of me. The rest would just reveal themselves later.

    The good thing is, that I have made money... through freelancing. I am developing the skills needed (in my case how to design an different types of Neural Networks) to design and launch a product. Although I am at a loss on how to determine its demand by the market, my gut instinct tells me that...

    Thank you both for the Suggestion. I am in the process of reading it before posting this thread. Thank you so much! I was not aware of this book! I will make my due diligence and read it as soon as I can! I just got a copy of it (in audiobook format).

    You Don't Need 100% Certainty To Do It

    MINDSET 
    I was just about to log off for the day, and I noticed the title of your post. That led me to checking your (impressive) progress thread. Then it got me thinking. Thinking of my years in R&D and how the concept of 95% certainty has (had?) become a part of my life. Although I arrived at a...

    That was a very lengthy answer! I'll make sure I read and understand it properly. I'll freely admit I didn't get it on my first read, but I will do my due diligence. Thank you for your input :)

    Process of developing strategy of turning goals into actionable plans?

    MINDSET 
    I should've clarified (and I will actually edit the thread title) that what I'm wondering about is how can I make my goals into a concrete plan. Regarding the rest of the topic, for me it's not an issue of acting, but figuring out when to do the correct action, at the correct place, at the...

    Process of developing strategy of turning goals into actionable plans?

    MINDSET 
    Hello everyone! As the title suggests, I am trying to develop processes so I can turn my goals into actionable plans. I have no idea how to break down what I want into a plan so I can act upon it. I originally thought about asking for direct help, but upon hindsight, it's better if other...

    I just tried presenting things from the perspective that I understand them, while also trying to explain them simply, and in a way that provokes action.

    So my brother was talking with a friend of his. Some of the topics of conversation were being hired to work for the government cause the pay's good (the concept made me seethe inside), talks about cars and nice models (again, made me seethe inside), then talking about finishing his PhD to get a...

    Thanks for the feedback @Mattie ! Greatly appreciated! On the post regarding tracking, the intent is not to track when something changes, but simply track the result of your pre-determined course of action. The human brain is powerful but directionless for the most part (hence hyperrealities...

    Hello again everyone! In the process of building a system on decision-making, I've come to understand a concept that I've managed to roll into an effective habit. I shall be completely honest and put a disclaimer here saying that it's too early to judge its effectiveness, but it does look like...

    I need to develop a model to believably weigh options: Input greatly appreciated

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for the feedback MJ! It's practical and immediately actionable! The outstanding question regarding principles for designing a decision-making system still stands though, but I'll see how I can systemize my decision-making process through the app. Might as well take it one step at a time.

    I need to develop a model to believably weigh options: Input greatly appreciated

    MINDSET 
    I know I've not posted in a long while, but I went through a period of execution and reflection. Through that period, I have basically understood that it's much easier to systemize your decision making according to your own values. I know my values, yet I can't seem to understand how to weigh...

    [Personal Freelance Journal] Starting on Niche Freelance Consulting Work

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I was dead wrong on this statement after all. It ended up being multiple projects for ONE customer, and the available pool of customers is not as big as I thought. This idea is NOT C.E.N.T.S. viable due to it violating the commandment of Need and Scale. It doesn't offset this by magnitude, so...

    A month and a half? It's been some time since I last posted! In short, the Consulting Work fell through, mostly because I misjudged the available need for it. Damn shame, but it is what it is. I also moved back to Cyprus, successfully defended (but not finished) my MSc thesis, and just getting...

    I can help with that, by providing links and explaining the process to remove all of that. You can also install a custom OS that respects your privacy. But you need to do the work. Shoot me a message if you're interested.
