Tulpaforcing with constant disruptions...

[GuessWho]

If you are able to' date=' try going to bed an hour (or something) early, and spend the time you gain forcing. If you do it right, it should be impossible to distinguish between sleeping and forcing. If questioned, just claim you were feeling chronically tired and needed more sleep.[/quote']

That's part of what I will be doing from now on.

I will go to bed earlier and force before sleeping. I will also wake up earlier and force again before getting up.

 

Is there potentially any other place you could go to relax in the area and be able to concentrate for long periods of time? Potentially a park or somewhere out in the country? I've found such places out in nature to help me keep my focus tuned to whatever I'm doing.

I live in Johannesburg, South Africa. That would be unsafe.

Just a progress update:

My family all seem to have miraculously disappeared this afternoon. I was able to get a nice long forcing session in while they were all gone. (It must have been more than 2 hours, but I lost track of time, so I can't say for sure.)

I think I made some good progress. [My Progress Thread]

 

Anyway, Thanks to everyone that commented. I'll be trying many of the above suggestions for my forcing from now on.

If you're still looking for help, I would recommend late-night, in lieu of early morning. I've tried as soon as I wake up, and personally, I'm just far too groggy to do anything properly. Maybe over a cup of tea or coffee, but that may not be an option for you (families don't take very well to a boiling kettle at five AM). Or, if that doesn't work for you, try going to sleep a half hour earlier every night. At one point, you'll probably wake up in the middle of the night. Don't go back to bed, and take an hour or two to force before passing out again. If you own some headphones and a portable music player, throw some white noise (Fede's tulpatone is great) on there, and listen to it during a commute. I've been able to narrate comfortably on the bus a lot, and it's given us a lot more time together. Also, try passive narration, if you don't have anything against narration. Just in the midst of your day-to-day activites, instead of thinking about whatever, have a little discussion with them. Makes the time fly by-for me, anyways.
