You can work next to me if you want.” Both were interested. Effortless to speak to each other. 2nd message to get off bumble and get on call. “We should get off the app. We should get on the phone.” Eat over the sink. Same utensils. One wipe. Repeat for next meal. I’m either the predator or the prey. Leila never tried to change me. https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/getting-back-on-routine/ Fri, 18 Nov 2022 23:52:36 +0530 https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/getting-back-on-routine/ It is 11pm as I write this. I have been unable to sleep early for the past week. I went to Pashan last week and slept in the car 12, hit the bed at 5am and woke up at 12pm. I have been waking and sleeping late for the rest of the week. This is bullshit. I need to get tired during the day. Tomorrow, I will wake up at 7:30 and straight go for a ride. https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/alex-graham-podcast-notes/ Tue, 15 Nov 2022 17:54:45 +0530 https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/alex-graham-podcast-notes/ meaning captivity book shared goals shared value respect for each other we’re in it together vs cheerleader and quarterback when you say I want to be happy you say there is a defecit between your current reality and happiness which will always remain outside of yourself defecits occur when we speak desires desire is a contract we make with ourselves to be happy with what we want Why do you need to be happy, why do you need meaning? https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/how-alex-gew-a-1.2m-audience-notes/ Mon, 14 Nov 2022 13:15:36 +0530 https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/how-alex-gew-a-1.2m-audience-notes/ How Alex Hormozi grew a 1.2M following: Use twitter as brain dump - try this. Create YT from the best performing tweets. Add call to action - if you liked this, share to a friend. Record 30 and sprinke them throughout your content Contextualise to the platform you’re shipping on Increase volume 10x in content is not 10x followers, it is 10x followers. Volume. More output, more results - upload to blog everyday. https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/alex-why-daily-routines-keep-you-fragile-and-poor-notes/ Mon, 14 Nov 2022 13:10:44 +0530 https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/alex-why-daily-routines-keep-you-fragile-and-poor-notes/ Constraints theoruy - a system will only grow until it’s is allowed. It is bottlenecked by its weakest link. Attack the constraints - for me MTB wise, this is riding and not fitness. For YT and media - it is volume 2 common constraints: “I am … high enxiety/neurotic/all or nothing” Does that belief serve you. something I am implementing> Believe it then make it come true. I will be the GOAT then work towards it. https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/alex-why-old-friends-keep-you-poor-notes/ Mon, 14 Nov 2022 13:04:21 +0530 https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/alex-why-old-friends-keep-you-poor-notes/ Video here Shed them.The problem - they keep retelling the old narrative. Probably why I don’t have desire to meet Boisar anymore. Arya and Vihaan do a great job of keeping up to date with my growth and not retelling the old untruths. If you are not willing to sacrifice to keep the relationship, how much do you love them? Your behavior is punished or re-inforced. that is it - keep this is mind with parenting. https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/hamza-make-women-obsessed-notes/ Mon, 14 Nov 2022 12:52:00 +0530 https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/hamza-make-women-obsessed-notes/ Video here Imagine you’re in bed with multiple girls before responding to a girl if she is being weirdly disrespectful - when replying to Roof’s text. Mystery - do you want this? - he says I shouldn’t do exactly what I’m striving for. Try this - ties in with the previous point “What have you done today” “Lots.” when she is obsessed with you, she is thinking a lot about you. https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/alex-and-ali-podcast-notes/ Wed, 09 Nov 2022 17:51:38 +0530 https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/alex-and-ali-podcast-notes/ Podcast here 100K - just sell something to someone 1M - 100K but consistent - over time 1 - 3M - increase output of that main thing (more videos) and build the core team product market fit means someone wants your product - your are satisfying a need business is when you are employing other people personal interest mein find specific knowledge - MTB, linux, SI, productivity, studying, Islam? start, business can be changed later https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/reducing-screentime/ Sat, 05 Nov 2022 16:24:44 +0530 https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/reducing-screentime/ My brother’s screen time amounts to 8h a day on average, that is a full time job. He scored 92% in IGCSE. I have another friend who spends 3.5h a day on instagram. One more school friend had his screen time in the 12-13h range during the Diwali vacation. This friend is on self-improvement and lapsed in the vacation. Point being, our smartphones are blackholes in terms of time. My screen time hovers around 90 mins to 2 hours when excluding video calls which are intentional, and to me productive social interaction. https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/attractive-to-most-women-notes/ Sat, 29 Oct 2022 16:48:14 +0530 https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/attractive-to-most-women-notes/ Video here be normal - no peacocking, not flamboyant.

Need total control. - Odysee/streaming platform Entry - great barriers to entry - mid level for YT great for pro MTB Is there a need for this?- for SI, yes.

However, I have little income right now. The actual value of my hour must be somewhere around Rs 200 an hour if we went according to my Jersey Business, however, it is a niche product, and demand is not enough to justify traveling expenses despite then saving time. S right now, I am focusing on optimizing for minimal time wasted. https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/social-skills-progression/ Mon, 17 Oct 2022 14:00:29 +0530 https://ilyaas.netlify.app/posts/social-skills-progression/ I told a friend that I got accepted into college and would be leaving soon. She teared up. I did not think we were close enough to warrant that reaction. It was a pleasant surprise. It is surprising how much actually listening matters to people. It is testament to how much better I’ve become social skills wise. 6 months, several books and way too many youtube videos later, I have become good enough to make close friends over time.
