Screens destroy your learning rate, here is why...

It's like the gym. Do you get jacked, lifting heavy weights on focused exercises? Or a 2.5lbs weight for 80 different random exercises?

Fundamentally, social media is distracting. It's wind. It messes with your emotions. You use it during your breaks. It fills you with information, when your brain is begging for a break.

It highjacks the main neural pathway that allows for learning, and fries it.

After being bombarded with social media, you don't even remember what you did.

There's a reason why that happens. Screens emotionally ping pong you, destroying your framing, and scattering your attention.

They attack the main loops of the learning.

The main flow for learning is:
- emotional trigger (motivation/frame)
- work (stress, information gathering)
- relaxation (consolidation)

If you interrupt the emotional framing, you don't even start, you don't get the point. You learn, without learning. You learn pointless things, that don't even matter, because they get you to care about the things that don't matter.

Screens are full of Emotional Triggers:
You hear about a war? And suddenly you are learning about it. You heard xyz celebrity gossip, what are you doing for the next 20 minutes? You see a car, or game, or product review? Exactly, it scatters your attention.

Screens distract your from the Work:
Screens disrupt the work cycle. Notification, after notification. Interruption after interruption. The work you do, is much worse, if you constantly have to restart, because you were distracted. You need sufficient eustress to be able to get into flow. It needs to be directed and focused on the task at hand. If your focus is just surface level, you never unlock a deeper level of learning.

Screens steal your Relaxation:
Screens destroy the relaxation step. You think that watching something on your phone would be a good break. You can see something funny. You smile. But the you get worked up. Something makes you angry. And suddenly you are stressing over something, completely unimportant. The relaxation step is essential for learning. You need to be bored and calm to consolidate thoughts, reflect, and to store information properly in your brain. The cycle of stress to find an answer, and the relaxation after finding the answer, is essential for even remembering what you did. The relaxation allows ideas to seep. It's the counter emotional reward you receive, which kicked off the learning cycle to begin with.

If you allow screens to control your learning cycle, you'll learn many surface level things, that you didn't even want to know.

If you want to actually learn what's important, it's important to cultivate, emotional focus, strong focus, and deep relaxation.

-----
So start with getting better at one of them. I'd recommend to start with relaxation. If you have been always online, you definitely didn't relax enough. And that deep relaxation, is where you learn about yourself.

Stare at a wall, and cry. Raw dog experience, and have a loooooong needed epiphany.

Big Bro Lesson #36

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

Girl boss culture, has really changed domestic life.

Now as a requirement for having kids, both partners, need to do well domestically, as well as professionally.

Women still do the majority of the housework. And men need to pull their weight in household work.

Women have really stepped up to the plate. And now, there are supermoms, who work, the housework, and take care of kids. But the supermom situation, doesn't even seem enjoyable to most people.

People have higher standards because of social media.

But it really is a TON of work. Needing to look great. Being amazing at work. Being fit. Having a social life. Doing all the housework. So ALSO being there making, or being there for every single family event, takes a huge toll.

Men need to step up more, becoming better, domestically, as well as professionally. Doing more planning, cooking more foods, doing more cleaning, taking care of the kids, planning dates, meeting friends, and much more.

Basic stuff. That wasn't as required

The traditional way, of Men just focusing on work, is not enough anymore, to provide the security required to have kids. It's simply not good enough, to provide your family with what they want.

Stop being retarded, start Retardmaxing

Being retarded means you’re ruminating and overthinking your decision

Retardmaxing means you’re making decisions based on your gut instinct — zero rumination, zero regrets

Stop being retarded, start #Retardmaxing

What if the secret to getting better isn't hard work... but transcendence.

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

@hectorir Not just cool, was actually functional.

Probably the first time I've seen smart home stuff work.

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

@CoachDanGo Now I finally know what a trap bar is for.
Nice!

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

@creatine_cycle Reasonable goals, and you both can celebrate your progress

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

@creatine_cycle Getting ripped with the wife is way better

@MurrayHillGuy1 105.5 laps puts it into perspective.

I guess I'm crazy for thinking I could do it.

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

@levelsio Yeah CitizenM

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

@levelsio This was where I stayed, when I was in London.

I was pretty surprised by it. They got all the foundations right. The smarthome tech worked.

The only downside is that the place was small. Very compact, but had everything we needed in a convenient place.

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

Was something like this. They also had blackout blinds and sheer blinds.

At a click of a button could play nightime asmr, or have the lights dim on as an alarm.

Was actually pretty cool.

I wonder if more hotels will be like that in the future.

Definitely helps you sleep with all the smart home xyz.

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

@levelsio I wonder what new fancy is?

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

Anxiety disappears, when you just stop waiting, and start doing.

Be like water.

Don't think overthink.

And let yourself do the work.

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

Stretching after working out feels sooooo good

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

@imjaredz Just use tmux

[Jeff Do 🧠/acc @jeffdo]

This would probably save more backs than any other device ever invented.

If I could gift one piece of gym equipment to everyone in America, it would be a 45° back extension.

@todayyearsold When AI starts telling you how dumb a question is, does that mean we made it?

Big bro tip #72: You should ask for help, because if you ask for help, you help not only yourself but the other person.

Something beautiful happens when you go and actually ask for help. People geel appreciated. You feel cared for. Sometimes that help helps other people as well.

Have you ever noticed in class when you ask a question and someone gives you the answer, another person is like, "Oh, wait, what was that?"

In this world, everything is collaborative. Sure, you may feel nervous asking. Other people may feel nervous answering. But those are antisocial tendencies. They exist, and it's fine. Everyone feels nervous sometimes. But people in general, are collaborative.

If you ask for help, you allow people to help each other.

That's why we have bridges. That's why parents teach their kids to be nice. People decided to help each other. It's better to help.

If you want to help everybody, the first thing you should do is go and ask for help.

Be vulnerable. Be open to that, because that's how it starts.

Not only one person gets helped, other people get helped, because once you get the help you need, you can help others, and the beautiful cycle continues.
