NinjaDerpyandYokina February 7, 2015 February 7, 2015 I really want to learn how to prioritize but I just can't seem to get off the internet. Any help?
Guest February 7, 2015 February 7, 2015 As a bit of a professional procrastinator myself (Spent a year and a half here without making any progress), the sad reality is that you've just gotta do it. You're here asking for advice on priority, when you know deep down there's nothing anybody can say that'll flip that switch. I was the same way forever. Always wondering why, despite how much I wanted to get onto forcing, I'd just keep browsing the internet, reading, or playing video games. And then I'd beat myself up over it. Would post here, asking for advice, and badgering Shui, or whoever, because I just wanted there to be something somebody could say, some magical phrase or piece of advice that would change me. Well, there wasn't. Gave up on a Tup or two, because my poor work ethics were making me so depressed. I cared about them, but apparently not enough that I couldn't forego the internet for a damn hour a day to spend time on them. Week or two back, I just decided to be better. New Tulpa, started working an hour a day at the very least, and I've kept on that schedule very well so far. Yeah, I'd rather be reading, or trying to get rest, but that's just it, isn't it? Owe it to myself as well as any Tulpa to set some decent work-ethics. Would rather do those things, but the more I do it, the happier I am to spend time with my Tupper. She's not vocal, or even Sentient as far as I really know, but I'm sure she'll appreciate it somewhere down the line, huh? So yeah. Nothing anybody is going to tell you about how worth it it may be to put in the time, or how much your Tulpa is depending on you, is likely to be enough. Maybe you're the one person it actually is enough for though, I don't know, but I'd assume not. Gotta be your own change, man. Turn off the computer, and do it once a day at least. Thirty minutes of narrating, or whatever you're best at. Bump it up to forty after you've got a groove for it. Nobody is really so bad that they can't kick themselves in the ass and do what they gotta every once in a while, right? On that note, I'm actually.. Almost ten minutes late on a session I promised Peachy, myself. Good luck, and really man. Just do it!
nivereno February 7, 2015 February 7, 2015 You can always combine passive forcing with procrastinating, talk about stuff you watch, read, whateves. Really if you try hard enough you can make forcing out of anything. But yeah, for visualisation and imposition and such you'll just need to get over it for yourself, no way to really help with that. Shade is the tulpa, [stuff]=her. Her form is: pegasus mlp pony with dark grey coat and black mane and tail.
sushi February 7, 2015 February 7, 2015 What Enny said. nivereno made a good point too -- sometimes reading or playing a game can be really good forcing, but for visualization and imposition, you need to just sit down and do it. For me, I've found media deprivation helpful. Basically, for a set period of time, like a week or a month, you cut out absolutely everything that you do for entertainment. You're not allowed to get online, watch TV, play games, read books, whatever. At first you're willing to just sit and stare at the walls, but after a hour or two, you're so bored that you want to force. And if you cheat, you're letting your tulpa down. Fenchurch is always sure to remind me that I'm letting her down if I turn on the computer or anything. "Some things have to be believed to be seen." - Ralph Hodgson
GuessWho February 7, 2015 February 7, 2015 I really want to learn how to prioritize but I just can't seem to get off the internet. Any help? You're asking in the wrong place, OP. Those of us who are here are the ones who didn't succeed with what you're trying to accomplish. We are the master procrastinators who are beyond cure. You should ask some people who actually have RLs IRL.
The Shadow Knight February 10, 2015 February 10, 2015 Well I have settled on a schedule. I used to go to bed at 11:00 pm. Now I go to bed at 10:00 pm. The reason: I spend the entire hour 10 til 11, Tulpaforcing with my tupper. Or at least trying to. The schedule seems to work, I just don't really seem to be doing well. I try to force, but sleep tends to overpower me since my bed is like RIGHT THERE. lol. But I usually get in 20 minutes at least and most tulpamancers say that even 10 minutes can be very beneficial. so 2x the benefits? :D Also I try to do passive forcing.
