Did you see that Joe Rogan clip with Firas Zahabi? "How to work out smarter" I think it's called on the Yutoos

Check some Firas videos to get more bread
Then basically implement that borrowed philosophy to all areas of your life to get a balanced flow-y life, in which things like working out are parts of your day you now look forward too because it feels good and you leave the gym feeling energised.
I'll probably write about it now, for lazy anons

Cheers, I'll check it out

This is about working on your skills, longevity in fitness, having a more successful and pleasurable life and all that.
Let's say the "flow state" is that in which an activity is done in a challenging enough difficulty, so that you aren't either bored nor anxious while doing it. The sweet spot in which you are engaged and challenged and learning, not sleeping nor biting the pillow.
Have you played Tetris for a while, get fucked and started again? The first levels are now boring, then you get to level 12 in which you can still do crazy tricky fun shit but you can actually lose because it's difficult, then you get to level 20 and it's so intense that you get nervous and sloppy, anxious until you just lose because it's just too much for you now.
Keep your life in level 12 most of the time. Challenging fun in which you make progress and, when you turn off the game and wake up tomorrow, you look forward to playing again because your brain is rewiring into enjoying the activity and the grind. Then you can up the difficulty slowly to cause adaptation.

Same with exercising.
Play around, start low intensity and up it until you are in around 85% of your max for a very brief about of time, then taper to low intensity again and cut it. You should feel good, then stop before feeling bad. That way working out isn't seen as a chore and your body stays at the top of it's game year round. You should work out in a way in which you are either not sore or slightly sore the next day, because you stoped when you had that tonic effect, that energy boost working out gives you. Work out daily, even if a little and keep the intensity challenging but manageable, so it feels good and you want to do it every day. Then do it every day to get good at it, so you get pumped by the progress too.

I'll add a little more next, hang on.

Yes that’s the definition of procrastination.
Don’t do that. Chip away at your work little by little over time during particular self-assigned blocs of time and congratulations you just cured your autism.

So, Intensity
Here's the thing

You can't do high intensity all the time. Meaning going real hard by heavy amounts or absolute balls to the wall in any amounts. By it's nature, it's something you can only do periodically. If you go your max every day, first of all you didn't give your max, and second of all if you TRY to do it you either break yourself or get diminishing returns and then probably break yourself.
High intensity workouts are really taxing, dangerous if not properly conditioned and rested (see how many amateur, 3/4 sessions a week, powerlifters get injured and bitch about it), and not enjoyable to many. So if you get in and kill yourself every workout, you won't be happy before getting in next time.
And you should. Your life should be joyful, despite contrarian belief. Not "jack off and watch anime all day to fill the void" happy, "actually enjoy the grind" happy. Happy with your life, and going to sleep happy with your accomplishments or knowing what to fix tomorrow with your chin up.

Let's say you can squat in a session 100 kilo x 5 reps, and that is you MAX. If I threatened to kill your dog you couldn't do a half rep more. You do this and then you have to take 72 hours to rest at least. Should you do it every session? No
Squat 80 kilo x 10 sets, get out fresh and then tomorrow or the next day do a variation for 20 for reps and reps, next 90x5, next box jumps, next Oly lifting, close the week with same squat again idk
At the end of the week, you did more final volume that the dude who did 100x5
You are more skilled, in better health, happier, bigger, and counting how you still get periodic high intensity and hit your 1RM once every month and a half or whatever, stronger.
Russian Oly lifters and wrestlers do it and they rock, bodybuilders do it and they are huge. Volume works.

"But they juice"
Stop before you get to roiders only territory.
Deload and rest when needed.

Apply this to everything and be joyful and productive.

What are you studying? I'm an Accounting major and I literally just cheat and procrastinate on everything, worried about whether or not I'll have a hard time when I get a job but I hear they pretty much just train you anyway.

Thank you very much my guy. I guess on some level I always knew this but it's nice to have it articulated and stated by someone like Firas Zahabi. Ironically I took out Flow by Mihaly ________ but procrastinated on reading it until I had to take it back.
