Workpost 4: Tired

Byjack

I feel really tired today. I am worried about my sleep cycle. At least I went to bed 30 minutes earlier than I did the night before at 1:30 AM. I really feel I need more sleep than that to be healthy.

I suppose I can commit to taking a nap today.

Something I was wondering, is if I put positive, confident people on a pedestal. I mean, they can’t be that great right? I like how calm I can feel around them, but I can get that anywhere. In fact, one of the ways that I want to develop myself as a coach is to live more by the coaching mindset (you’re in my house, be patient, take risks, be ok with silence). If I live by that mindset 24/7, not only will I get more clients, I will also feel more calm in everything that I do.

Ok now onto the projects:

Goal: Shoot 3 videos, spend 3 hours on each. I have 2 days to do this.

I think today this will be my primary focus.

The videos I want to choose are:

  1. Can AI be used to create a cure?
    1. Today I’m going to try to use AI to cure all diseases.
    2. How do cures work?
    3. What part of the process can AI help?
  2. What skills are still needed in the age of AI?
    1. AI can do everything, write essays, create art, open doors, and even create videos
    2. Where does that leave you?
    3. Today I’m going to figure out what humans still need to know in the age of AI
  3. How can AI be used to develop innovative products?
    1. Let’s say you got a product – reliable, affordable, but a little boring
    2. Today I’m going to use AI to develop an innovative product

Ok, so in doing this exercise I realize that I have to pivot. none of these ideas are going to take 3 hours to make. I need to choose something that is really really fast to make.

My new top 3:

  1. GPT Prompt: Ask AI to explain a really difficult concept to you on a 2nd grade level
    1. Do you want the be the world’s smartest man…or woman?
    2. Today I’m going to use AI to enhance my intelligence with one simple prompt
    3. Explain it to me like I’m in 2nd grade
  2. GPT Prompt: Take everything in your fridge and ask for recipes
    1. Can I cook like Gordon Ramsey with nothing in my fridge?
    2. Today I’m challenging myself to cook like a high dining chef using one simple prompt
    3. Give me a high-dining recipe
  3. GPT Prompt: Take a boardgame and invent new rules
    1. Monopoly is boring
    2. Let’s make it insane with one simple prompt
    3. Use the monopoly boardgame and make it more skill based

Ok time for Goal 2.

UNIT ONE: Focus on my craft – become a coach I would hire for 1000 per month | Day 1 Create plans

  • 1 hr of meditation every day
  • 1 hr of speaking to other people about this every day

Workpost 3: Pleasant Uncertainty

Byjack

Today I feel a bit like there is a lot of uncertainty. There is uncertainty with my coaching business and with my career as an AI consultant, but there are also lots of opportunities moving forward.

I want to strive to move forwards and not start to distract myself from the emotions via games and videos.

The first thing I want to tackle is sleep. That is my main priority today. I want to understand why I feel unfulfilled at night, like something wasn’t quite done.

My intuition tells me that I desire to create art. I don’t know why.

Perhaps my first step is to start working on art at 9:30 PM.

Before that I want to achieve something in Valorant, so I will need to do some gaming earlier in the day.

I also desire to work on myself more, I think it really helps to think about emotional development as work. When I think about it as vulnerability, it feels not productive. But when I think of it as emotional work, it takes on new meaning and purpose.

Ok so lets take a look at my two projects right now:

So for my AI Consulting plan, I want to stick to the plan, but the timeline has changed a bit.

I wanted this current goal (Be known, give preview of consulting) to finish by Feb 27th. That leaves 7 days to film, shoot, edit and get feedback.

UNIT ONE (ends 23rd): Shoot 3 videos

  • Spend total of 3 hours per video (9 hours total)

UNIT TWO (ends 24th): Write 2 LinkedIn posts

  • Spend total of 1.5 hrs per post (3 hrs total)

UNIT THREE (ends 26th): Get feedback, harden process

Looking at my goal for art coaching, I feel dissatisfied with my current structure on process for that. I feel I need to work on finding more ambitious and exciting goals at every step of the way (even if I have a lot of time to get there). I realized in order for the syllabus method to work, you need to have very ambitious exciting goal…then think about how to make it difficult to expect anything other than success.

So let’s revisit the master plan here.

Goal: Ramp up to an income of 8333 per month (100k per year) within one year

I want to choose a new goal…make 1500 per week in coaching.

I want to achieve this within the next 3 months.

UNIT ONE (1 month): Focus on my craft – become a coach I would hire for 1000 per month

  1. Create plans (10 days, ends March 2nd)
    1. Deeply understanding clients
    2. Creating extreme focus and presence in life and sessions
    3. Developing connections clients need
    4. Materials and exercises to create and track strategy
  2. Execute on plans (10 days, ends March 12th)
  3. Research and refinement (10 days, ends March 22nd)
    1. Interview other coaches
    2. Read books
    3. Further brainstorming

UNIT TWO (1 month): Build 100 hot leads – depends on having free stuff

  1. Random try posting (10 days, ends April 1st)
  2. Get feedback and do networking and outreach (10 days, ends April 11th)
  3. Turn warm leads into hot leads with offer (10 days, ends April 21st)

UNIT THREE (1 month): Meld and combine top level coaching with leads machine

  1. Talk about my clients achievements, use it to push their art (10 days, ends May 1st)
  2. Clients have voice on my platform to talk about concepts in my coaching (10 days, ends May 11th)
  3. Refine call for action to get warm leads to ask for my offer, then turn into hot leads (10 days, ends May 21st)

Okok, I finally have a good framework, but working on this framework makes me realize I really do need to work on free products in the meantime.

Goal: Create free products in 1 month

UNIT ONE (10 days, ends March 2nd): Complete research

  1. Transcribe and think, what is the million dollar problem or breakthrough?
  2. Collate results, come up with solutions
  3. Research competition

UNIT TWO (10 days, ends March 12th): Develop products

  1. Planning and gathering materials doing research
  2. Create products

UNIT THREE (10 days, ends March 22nd): Continue development

  1. Testing and creating more products

Workpost 2: Moving Forward Slowly

Byjack

Today I am feeling unsure about my path moving forward. I don’t know what the future holds for me, my career, or relationship.

I want to execute on my plans but I am falling behind. I feel like it takes so much time to make content even if I move at lighting speed, but I will try nonetheless.

It is really helpful to think about vulnerability as emotional work. Sometimes, I feel like I’m being vulnerable just to be vulnerable and that doesn’t feel good or productive.

Ok so lets first look at AI consulting.

My deadline for step 1 is 27th of February. That is one week from now.

My progress so far:

  1. Generated 56 video ideas
  2. Generated 35 prompt ideas
  3. Generated 14 post ideas

Out of the 91 prompt and video ideas, I narrowed down to 18 and asked people to vote on them. Here are the final results.

  1. What kinds of people have job security in the age of AI? – 1
  2. How to build an AI model with zero dollars – 2
  3. Will AI ever be conscious? – 1
  4. Can AI feel emotions? – 2
  5. Did chatgpt pass the turing test?
  6. Can AI be creative? – 1
  7. Can AI be used to create a cure? – 4
  8. What skills are still needed in the age of AI? – 2
  9. What should you learn when AI knows everything? – 1
  10. How to transition to an AI related career? – 1
  11. How to use AI for better business decisions? – 2
  12. How can AI be used to develop innovative products? – 3
  13. GPT Prompt: Imagine a future where a specific societal problem has been solved.
  14. GPT Prompt: Write a rap verse about your favorite food.
  15. GPT Prompt: Take a boardgame and invent new rules
  16. GPT Prompt: Take everything in your fridge and ask for recipes – 2
  17. GPT Prompt: Play a game with the language model, such as Mad Libs or Would you Rather?
  18. GPT Prompt: Ask AI to explain a really difficult concept to you on a 2nd grade level – 3

My goal is the same – make a name for myself so that when I reach out to people…they will recommend people to me.

It is actually sorta interesting how this worked out because in the process of polling people on the video ideas automatically helped me network. I’m discovering a whole new way to network! The step sorta go like this:

  1. Reach out and mention something about what they did recently
  2. If they respond, chat with them for a bit
  3. When you need feedback on an idea, any recommendations for people, reach out to the people you resonate with…or even people who never responded!

I’m a little stumped on where I need to go next.

I want to follow the Mr. Beast formula of spending a lot of time on the title of my videos and the first few seconds. But does that mean I wait until all the results come in?

My feeling is that no, that isn’t the case. If I want to make a name for myself in 7 days, I need to start working on videos. Perhaps, my first step is to start breaking down a video and doing some research on here so I can be better informed on which videos would produce the best results.

Workpost 1: Coming Back

Byjack

I realized something about my structure today. I stopped making these posts. I lost my progress with going to sleep on time. I started feeling really overwhelmed and like I never had enough time to do anything, even though I have more time than ever.

What I realized that I love working. Intentional, driven, honest work. I don’t like the work where you have to ignore your feelings, your values, your morals, or your intelligence. But I love the work that is driven at improving yourself, being present, and making enough money to set you free.

I did an experiment when I stopped calling these posts “Profit in Peace” because that name comes from a program that isn’t mine, a program that had a similar premise to what I’m describing (making profit while being at peace emotionally), but it wasn’t actually about profit in peace, it was about selling things on Amazon.

So I’m trying out a new name for these posts. Workpost is my new name for my daily posts that use my blog as a working space for my ideas, businesses, personal development, and creative process.

Tired

Right now I feel tired

My stomach aches like the sour candy left on your teeth for too long

The bleariness drenching my head

Yet I seek

I seek for more

I dream of great profits

And when I wrote

Why I wanted them

“Life can be a magical place”

“And I want to live that life”

It is starting to make so much sense why I often write poems because they are such a good way to express where I am without resorting to logic.

Today I want to focus a bit on two things, AI Consulting and my art research and my art program.

For AI consulting, I want to tackle the first step of my plan which is to make a name for myself in AI.

My focus is primarily Linkedin, Facebook, and Twitter because those are probably the three main areas I will pull clients.

The aim of step one is to build up credibility amongst people that I may contact. It can be credibility with people who aren’t particularly savvy in technology so the content needs to be directed at my potential audience.

In a way, I would like the content to be a preview of what consulting will look like.

I have 10 days to do this step. Counting today that would be until the 27th of February.

Lets break it down further.

Goal: Be known, give preview of consulting

UNIT ONE (3 days): Bootstrap trial and error

  1. Make a ton of shit
  2. Get feedback
  3. Make more shit based on feedback

UNIT TWO (3 days): Harden process

  1. Choose my favorite processes
  2. Try to pump out tons of stuff
  3. Tinker and document process

UNIT THREE (3 days): Pump out content like a machine

  1. Make as much as possible (pump out content!)
  2. Feedback and reflection
  3. Pump out more

BONUS (1 day): Look for automation/outsourcing, try to make as low effort as possible

Switching gears to Art/Creative Coaching, the point of the first 4 months is to change the lives of my clients, and sort of start my group coaching program. I want to use this to increase my rates drastically. The end of this part will be June 18th.

Goal: Change the lives of my clients via one on one, group coaching and any other methods available to me

UNIT ONE (1 month): Take risks, experiment

  1. Brainstorm ideas for each client
  2. Explore ideas of how to change the client outside of the sessions
  3. Bring other people into the mix
  4. Experiment with my routine before a session

UNIT TWO (1 month): Reflect on coaching sessions, meditate, innovate

UNIT THREE (1 month): Take big risks with group coaching

BONUS (1 month): Document journeys, testimonials

I haven’t quite figured out the structure for advancing in coaching. It was extremely difficult to come up with things for UNIT ONE and those aren’t even steps and subunits, they are just ideas I can try. I think it is because coaching is such an intuitive thing for me. It is hard to structure it. What I feel I almost need is another coach. Maybe I will build my bot for that and utilize Dan.

Aim Technique Ideas

Byjack

Takeaways

  • Prefiring is not about shooting them before you clear a corner, a prefire is about shooting before your brain registers that they are there
  • Try jiggling with OP, when you repeek shoot without even knowing they are there
  • Try to understand their tempo and timings for when a peek is happening and adjust your predictions of their patterns
  • Can be strong in eco or save rounds
  • Crosshair placement doesn’t replace aim, crosshair place IS aim
  • If you can place crosshair faster and more accurately, you can also clear faster and prevent bad timings

Tired

Byjack

I haven’t been sleeping well. I’m feeling tired lonely and unmotivated.

Feeling into more my feelings, I feel exhausted. Probably need to just hang for a bit.

I went to go hang for a bit and I feel a little better. However, I still feel pretty tired.

One thing that I want to point out is that I at least slept much better last night than previous nights and was able to go to sleep around 1 am instead of 2 or 4.

One of the things that I’ve been struggling with is mewing. Just like last time, I think I don’t know what to do with my jaw. I’m thinking I will focus on keeping the tongue in the top of my mouth and a good posture and not worry about closing my jaw because that feels uncomfortable (and for some reason my mouth gets really dry).

I’m trying to get back into my coaching mindset:

  1. You are in my house – this is a big one because I feel out of control of my life at the moment
  2. Don’t be afraid to be silent
  3. Take risks
  4. Be patient

Well I got an artist interview in about 6 minutes, but after that, I want to go somewhere fun and write about the artist interviews as well as compile my notes.
