Forcing for the Working Man

[Mr. Duke and His Attorney]

This is mainly a question of how do you guys shape your life around forcing and the like? I'm planning on picking up a part-time job on top of my full-time one. It should kick ass (Starbucks!), but will even more severely limit my time to do anything.

 

Does it get easier at a certain stage, such as post-imposition? What are your guys' tips and tricks for having a tulpa while juggling life and jobs?

 

PS. Anyone in grad school and doing this? Tips on that would be appreciated as well.

If you can't set a specific slot of time aside to work on your tulpa, I'd simply recommend passive forcing, if you can manage it.

Well... Public transport. Of course if you use it (

I don't think you will live a long life if you try forcing while driving a car

).

And, well, right before or right after sleep.

I got promoted to be a team leader at the place i work after only a year of working there. Now i control (and work) with 8 people in order to complete a 700000€ project at the moment. I'm pretty busy all the time and even in breaks i'm never alone. So there's no time for me at all, to actually force.

If you have gone beyond the point where your tulpa impose at own will, yes. But to get to this point it takes months of passive focing. It's a really tedious process.

Basically what i did was, connecting frequent environment, situations, emotions and thoughts to thinking about my tulpa. Like, we got lots of hallways and whenever i must go through them i use the time to impose my tulpa and get some talking going. A harder thing is noticing and connecting emotions and thoughts like 'being unconcern' to you tulpa. I. e.: everytime i get unsure i recall my tulpa for a quick discussion.

If done right, over time you build frequent connections everywhere you can and your tulpa should be with you a lot.

After this point my tulpa had no problems anymore to impose herself whenever she wanted. But still i need to keep the passive forcing up, or else she will regress again. So don't get lazy on that one.

I mostly work on Jesse in my bedtime hours eg I fall asleep working on him and I work on him when I wake up in the morning before I do anything else. If I wake up in the middle of the night.. I work on him then too before falling asleep again, sometimes that will be 20-40mins right in the middle of the night. I are getting less sleep then normal due to this but I figure it wont matter as it wont take long to have him how I want (except the imposition) and at that point I wont put as much time into it.

 

I did his trait programming often when I was doing something related to the trait.. eg I wanted him to have "green fingers" so I just did it when I was out busy in the garden. For Artistic, I just did it when I was doing some art I wanted to do anyway. Pop a mintee in my mouth while doing whatever Im doing and I then was working on his breath scent. I try to incorporate what Im doing with him into whatever Im doing during the day and for many things that works well.

Lol. The Watchdogs (1 & 2) drive very well, but that switching not forcing. Yes, I' have to agree.

 

Please excuse my levity, but that made me laugh so much.

Watchdog 3 is best at forcing, but he only does this when work is very boring and nothing is happening. Kevin (our "nominal human") hasn't managed imposition yet, but just imagines our new tulpa Nobillis to be behind him during the work day. Every now and then she will pop out from something in front of him (say a tree) and surprise him (she's very playful it seems, even if that wasn't a characteristic chosen. "Having a sunny disposition" seems to have included more traits then we expected.). Sometimes, Kevin will feel her hand on his shoulder; very gently (yes, hand, Nobillis has taken to being human in form ever since she found it was "just like typing!").

Hm, I need to "get to that point." And I haven't been working hard enough. Time to start kicking it up a notch. Luckily, I can still wedge in active forcing. I've been steadily progressing lately with no regression. Which is something! This is extremely helpful, though. Thank you.

My philosophy. If you can spend time on IRC. If you can spend time on the forums. If you can spend time on the god damned internet and it's not related to work, you have more than enough time to force.

So the real issue is procrastination, not a full schedule.

 

If I spent as much time forcing as I do on the internet, I'd have twice as many tulpas as JD1215.

I work two jobs and keep very busy, well not lately, but I got good at passive forcing, it may have took months but I can keep her around easily and talk to her while I work, though it still takes some focus certainly not as much as when i started!
