    Reality Transurfing Principles

    • Avoid pendulums - proactively identify memes that are harmful and ignore them
    • Avoid balancing forces - do not allow self to get tilted
    • Morning walk on beach each day at sunrise
    • Visualization of long term end goal daily at length before bed
    • Maintain self-dialogue with inner voice. Allow emotions of big wins to flow to inner voice

    Sleep

      8 or more hours daily with deep sleep tracked via Apple Watch
    • No electronic devices 1+ hours before bed
    • Consistent bed time

    Productivity

    My two main tools are Google Docs and a Discord server where I have Python tooling to track my work and thoughts.

    Work

    • Systematic trading - all strategies in production
    • All qualitative
