Goals

What you want out of life and your endeavors.

All about:

1. time (the more you have, the more goals you can hit, and better)
2. access
   • not being limited
     • understanding what's available (things you can do)
     • being able to get things
       • understanding how to get things
         • knowing how things work

Risk

What's going to stop or impede you from achieving your goals?

Ultimately, losing yourself and being stopped from specific activities that lead to goal success:

1. being sick
   • stay healthy
   • have access to medicine
   • make sickness impossible
2. dying
   • avoid deadly situations
   • be prepared for when you're in them
   • make death impossible
3. losing the things you're attached to
   • minimize attachments
   • be there for your attachments
   • making losing things impossible
4. being unprepared to overcome obstacles to specific activities that lead to goal success
   • be prepared
   • make being unprepared impossible

Doing it

Everything I do in life is about my goals, and all these notes are purposed around my goals.

What I need to achieve goals

Know my goals

1. Enjoy myself / not be bothered

   • know what there is to enjoy
   • enjoy it
   • be prepared to stop anything that gets in the way

2. Be amazed (though, not necessarily surprised)

   • life is amazing & this is part of living it

3. Help others

Ideals for achieving goals

• Have ideally unlimited time & access to everything
• Have no risk whatsoever

Strategy

Refine my goals into a plan of action & schedule with to-do activities

• I use "models" and "knowledge" of the world to gear my goals into actions

  • all of my life's understanding is structured into models with case studies/anecdotes/history
  • develop/discover models and knowledge where necessary

• include activities that de-risk

• repeat constantly

• Understand the world

  • See it
  • Learn about it
