it also makes you disciplined and once you're disciplined like you're you're like a sharpened sword man like a well-tempered blade and then you can go out there and operate in the world [Music] the reason that discipline is necessary is because you're a massive competing short-term interests and so the question is then well which short-term interest should win out and the answer to that is none of them they need to be organized into a hierarchy that makes them functional across time and across individuals like a two-year-old is very likely to act out his or her proximal
impulse but of course a two-year-old can't survive in the world you have to bring your your primary instincts let's say under the regulatory structure of a higher order value system that allows them to manifest themselves without undue Mutual sacrifice across large spans of time in the presence of large numbers of other people that requires a very sophisticated ordering that a metanarrative is necessary to unite subcultures so that they can operate peacefully and within the same space the same thing applies within you because you're like an internal Coalition of Warring single-minded tribes and they have to
all be be brought under the organizational structure of long-term Collective vision and in order to do that you have to be disciplined and any discipline technically speaking is an attempt to bring all those competing short-term impulses under a larger scale and more inclusive framework you do that and then well that's actually what gives you freedom if you're going to mess around with very complicated and dangerous matters you should really put your life together we also know that the higher your conscientiousness the lower your neuroticism conscientiousness does seem to keep your autism in check and so
I would say and have said this to many people clean your room organize your life get a routine get up every day at the same time go to bed at the same time establish disciplined habits that will help a lot schedule like and here's how to use a schedule use it use a calendar but don't use it as a tyrant you want to use your calendar as if it's your Confidant and advisor and what you want to do is use the calendar sit down and open the calendar and think okay well here's what I'm going
to do I'm going to design a week of days that I would really like to have what that would mean is that you would schedule things that you would consider meaningful and productive you know on a daily basis so that you feel that your life is justified by having a day like that and also to schedule enough of your responsibilities so that you make progress day by day instead of falling farther behind generally you should approach it as if this is something that will help you get what you want you have to figure out what
you want and then you have to figure out how to decompose what you want into actionable steps you know that's pretty good deal All Things Considered and you can start stupid and slow like I said just throw some things in that you're pretty likely to do and fill in the schedule with broad strokes and then as you get familiar with it and comfortable with it and maybe even happy with it you can fill in the details and start to use it in a more sophisticated way and what that'll do is it doesn't directly affect your
neurophysiology but you react to uncertainty any unexpected with more physiological preparedness and more expenditure of energy than the typical person and so what you want to do is organize your surroundings because it's a lot easier to organize your surroundings at least to begin with than it is to do radical reconstruction on your fundamental temperament generating a view of your life that consists of value you goals that you want to attain and then steps by which those might be attained well then you can Ally that with a schedule and then you know not only do you
know what you're doing you know that what you're doing is moving you towards something you want and that's rewarding you need to have a primary discipline it's absolutely necessary to succeed in life now once you have a primary discipline then you can Branch out and and become a multiplicity in your disciplined approach and then you're absolutely bloody Unstoppable thank you
