Mentality HACK:

View boring tasks as 'focus sharpeners'

-doing the dishes
-folding laundry
-cleaning your room

Exercising your focus in one area of your life spills over to other parts

While everyone is doing these tasks with negativity, you're doing it to level up your mind

With the right lens, anything becomes an opportunity to build focus

The ability to stay in the present

Boring tasks are a great candidate because of the pattern

'Pattern with what?'

Pattern with the gym...

In the gym:

The heavier the weights, the more tension it creates

The more tension it creates, the higher the potential strength

In the mental world:

The more boring the task, the more tension it creates

The more tension it creates, the higher the opportunity to focus

It's hard to reframe a boring task like that though

But think about it...

Is there any choice in the matter?

A house, apartment, room is a complex system

Which means it needs to be routinely taken care of otherwise entropy will build

Disorder will build

Not cleaning the room is not an option

Inaction is a form of action

Generally in the wrong direction

So if these chores are mandatory for anyone occupying a home (without butlers & maids)..

Why not use it as leverage

A leverage to take the mind to the gym

There's no right way to build focus

And there's no ONE way to build focus

It just comes down to doing a task with presence

Me writing this thread is requiring focus on my end as a writer.

You reading this thread is requiring focus on your end as a reader

Focus is being exercised

But in 2 vastly different ways

Rewiring the perception towards boring tasks is a lot like driving

You can be the best driver in the world

But it still doesn't negate possible idiots driving on the highway

'So?'

So it's smart to expect that there are going to be idiots on the driveway

And you're not rattled when you see one of them

By expecting boring tasks like chores are going to happen no matter what....

You take a LITTLE power back

Then to expect when a boring task does appear, you'll use it to build focus

You take MORE power back

Little by little, attention builds

If you can focus on boring tasks

Focusing on neutral and entertaining tasks is light work

Concentration is the portal to a new universe

A universe with an abundance of creativity, limitless ideas, and composure
