30 Days

The rust is starting to loose its grip on me and I'm slowly starting to come around. I recently read Sinn's Game Acceleration Doctrine which was really helpful in breaking down why 90% of guys don't get good at this. It points out to do things that work for you and how to properly set goals and systematically highlight your sticking points and work on breaking them down. It's a really good refreshing read that focuses on being 'normal'. The guys that get the best results from this are those that are the most 'normal'.

I set myself up a little logbook where I write down my short term, medium term and long term goals. Then my current sticking points and solutions for each of these sticking points. I then write down how I got on through out the week working on these solutions. If I'm not happy with the way the solutions are going, I propose a new solution and work on that in the following week. The idea is to keep doing this until you get another set of sticking points. It seems quite rigid but it gives you a clear game plan you have an aim when you go out other than 'just have fun' which can sometimes be too loose a term and not quite 'get laid' which is detrimental to being outcome independent. I'm not going to be posting the logbook on here but may post little snippets or things that are in the logbook depending on what goes down.

The next step of my conquest is a 30 day challenge, the majority of this is going to be done on route to and from work and on my lunch break. It won't be as hardcore as my last ones but it's the best compromise. The bulk of it will be done on my nights out but then the aim is to be opening during the day. Not with this 'what time is it' or 'how are you shit' though. I want to be focusing on stating my intent in the same way I would on an evening. I've noticed it's not opening I have a problem with but I've sorted shy'd away from 'walk ups' actually walking up to someone who is a distance away from me seems to create more anxiety. This will helpfully get me used to walking up to people which can then be taken forwarded and used on nights out. Look out for weekly round ups.

Time to feel the burn...
