The trouble with being punctual is that nobody's there to appreciate it.

Are there people who go on through a day without questioning their decisions or motives relatively consistently? How can you naturally be so dull that you have to allocate a meditation period in order to control yourself
Hm.
If you're reading this, you're probably a *******

So for those unfamiliar with journaling and meditation, it is something that can help improve your day to day life.

http://observer.com/2016/12/the-one-...ss-performers/
The Most Consistent Pattern of All
Of all the routines and habits, the most consistent among guests some form of daily meditation or mindfulness practice. More than 80% of the world-class performers I interviewed shared this trait. Both can be thought of as “cultivating a present-state awareness that helps you to be nonreactive.” This applies to everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Justin Boreta of The Glitch Mob, and from elite athletes like Amelia Boone to writers like Maria Popova. It’s the most consistent pattern of them all.
It is a “meta-skill” that improves everything else. You’re starting your day by practicing focus when it doesn’t matter (sitting on a couch for 10 minutes) so that you can focus better later when it does matter (negotiation, conversation with a loved one, max deadlift, mind-melding with a Vulcan, etc.).
If you want better results with less stress, fewer “I should have said X” mental loops, etc., meditation acts as a warm bath for the mind. Perhaps you’re a world-conquering machine with elite focus, but you might need to CTFO (chill the **** out) a few minutes a day before you BTFO (burn the **** out).
Meditation allows me to step back and gain a “witness perspective” (as with psychedelics), so that I’m observing my thoughts instead of being tumbled by them. I can step out of the washing machine and calmly look inside it.
Most of our waking hours, we feel as though we’re in a trench on the front lines with bullets whizzing past our heads. Through 20 minutes of consistent meditation, I can become the commander, looking out at the battlefield from a hilltop. I’m able to look at a map of the territory and make high-level decisions. “These guys shouldn’t even be fighting over here. What the hell is Regiment B doing over there? Call them out. We need more troops around the ridge. For objectives, we should be going after A, B, and C in that order. Ignore all the other so-called emergencies until those are handled. Great. Now, deep breath, and…execute.”

Author, investor, and podcaster Tim Ferriss has become the premiere "life-hacker" since publishing his hit book "The 4-Hour Workweek" in 2007.
Since then, he's spent his career interviewing and training with world-class performers across a wide variety of industries to determine the skills and habits he can then test on himself and share with his audience.
Since he asks each of his podcast guests about their morning routine, he decided to create an episode highlighting his own. One of the habits he fits into nearly every morning is a five-minute journal exercise.
"It's easy to become obsessed with pushing the ball forward as a Type-A personality and end up a perfectionist who is always future-focused," he says. "The five-minute journal is a therapeutic intervention, for me at least, because I am that person. That allows me to not only get more done during the day but to also feel better throughout the entire day, to be a happier person, to be a more content person — which is not something that comes naturally to me."
There are two journal formats that Ferriss alternates between; he never does both on the same morning.
The first is the aptly titled "Five Minute Journal." It's a journal you can order online that is outfitted with inspirational quotes and a series of questions, half for the morning and half for the night. Here's an example page from the company's site:
Ferriss says he finds the balance between acceptance of the past and planning for the future creates a happy medium that allows him to focus on the present.
There is also the more free-form "Morning Pages" method developed by "The Artist's Way" author Julia Cameron. Using this approach, you spend five minutes expressing your current mood and then laying out your anxieties on the page.
As Cameron writes, "Once we get those muddy, maddening, confusing thoughts on the page, we face our day with clearer eyes."
In a blog post from earlier this year, Ferriss said, "Morning pages don't need to solve your problems. They simply need to get them out of your head, where they'll otherwise bounce around all day like a bullet ricocheting inside your skull."
Ferriss says he finds the quick journaling exercise, regardless of format, to be liberating and calming.
"I think a lot of my drive comes from constant dissatisfaction," he says. "So this is very helpful medicine."

Tfw you work a professional job from 8am-6pm, and next week (and many weeks after) will study for the CPA test everyday for 2-3 hours a day, and somehow will try to fit lifting, cooking, and other chores into the mix.
No hate though, I would probably try something like that if my schedule weren't so tight lately. Gotta knock out this bitchass test

In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Sounds like such a boring cock head
I expected "Wake up, have a beer, get a blowjob, go back to sleep for a few hours, wake up to a cheese toastie and then go sit in the sun for the rest of the afternoon"

It's all pretty good stuff, even meditation, and journal logging but he spends far too much time doing it. Between work, commuting, eating, daily life, he has no time left and simply goes to sleep the moment he comes home. Either that, or he's a SJW Reddit cuck leeching off welfare.
