📝📝📝📝📝 Notes 📝📝📝📝📝
--- Naval Ravikant ----
- The Past...
* It is a fiction.
* Do not spend any time thinking about the past.
* It only exists in your head.
- The present...
* Is where you exist.
** Thus, this is where you should spend your time.
* Any moment that you are not present, you are wasting your time.
- Time well-spent
* To get the most out of every moment
* Properties
* * It is useful and engaging
* * It is not too mentally disturbing / anxious during that time
* States
** Flow State
*** Definition:
****To engage in a task at the edge of your capabilities (task which is possible but it is challenging).
**** Issue: We can only do this for a few hours each day.
** The 24/7 Flow State
*** How to be in Flow every moment? (not just a few hours)
**** Be Fully engaged on anything that you do. Fully aware and present.
***** Consequence: your mind gets under control -- you get the most out of every moment.
**** Self-awareness -- Detachment from your mind -- Flow State
**** Being Self-aware in every moment -- Leads to Time well-spent

I just had a bike accident last week and gonna need surgery. I keep replaying the moment it happened in my mind, thinking about "What if..." but hearing Naval's points on the uslesness of thinking about the past and the importance of being present fits perfectly into what I'm going through right now. Already took my lessons from the accident, and at this moment I'm just torturing myself by continuing to think about it. Time to move on and re-estructure my life accordingly.

[@SuperAwesomedude20]

What’s crazy is that the EXACT same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago. So far no need for surgery but i was faced with a lot of medical malpractice that prevented me from Getting out of hospital and then had to be re-admitted. It’s like at all those points the mental torture became wayyy worse than the physical

[@PickingNuggets]

Thanks for sharing !

[@0m3g4s]

Wishing you a speedy recovery my guy! Sending you strength from Argentina

[@gowtham0101]

That's the way to go brother

[@DjNemes1s]

Amazing positive attitude, not an easy thing to maintain during times of challenge. Good on you and wish you a speedy recovery.

[@krissifadwa]

So, to live your best life is by paying attention to every little detail from the moment you wake up from sleep. Your feet against what your body walks on, your breath, the wind, the sounds. The more you do this, the chatter in your mind will go quiet. Then you should be able to get the things done, step by step, day by day. Thanks for this upload!

[@shinparvati4959]

So deep - this video just made my walk to a subway station very immersive

[@MilindBorkar_MENTOR]

Powerful talk, to think about conversation and understand it and implement in our daily life.

[@stacielivinthedream8510]

He's so pragmatic and this is speaking to me this way!!

[@mariushornung]

Being completely immersed in the mystery of life which is the essence as well as the totality of Who I AM. This is a beautiful reminder for the constant recognition of the present moment, enjoying and celebration even the tiniest bit of life. Thank You and You alone

[@ari1667]

[@PickingNuggets]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kursadalb]

In case you might want to edit and improve the video to make it more usable, the scientist with the "Russian or Polish name" that Ravikant mentions when he is talking about flow is Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (actually a Hungarian name). You can add it in the notes so anyone interested in the flow state can look up his works.

[@harshpatel105]

Thanks a lot, you are doing a great service :)

[@PickingNuggets]

Thank you !

I disagree about not thinking about the past. Reflecting about past experiences is one of the most useful things I've found in my own life. To reflect and to allow my mind to process past events to inform future decisions is huge for me. I think not spending any time reflecting to inform future decisions is a huge miss.

[@shubhambagri97]

He just said in the beginning. That one can go back only if there are true lessons to be learned. But yes one can learn them living their life being fully aware as well. I missed that point as well

[@teegees]

Interesting discussion. Not sure I buy “to be in constant flow, be conscious of every moment”. I feel it’s the opposite. When I’m consciously self-aware I cannot be in flow. Flow to me is completely effortless and second nature.

[@abhipatil4844]

too good

[@PickingNuggets]

thanks !

[@TenzDenz]

Flow state is the best . I use to love it . Nowadays it's little harder to get into the state

[@PickingNuggets]

Same! Too many distractions sometimes

[@anjalijha6913]

How to quiet the mind ? The more I try the louder it gets

[@adamtash2891]

reminiscent of eckhardt tolle - power of now

[@himanshipatel3461]

Past gives you negative vibes future gives you positive vibes

[@vukasinmancic1806]

Is he talking about Mindfulness?

[@muneerghure2933]

What is the name of that book he is talking about?? that defines the flow state

[@khairulimran1269]

I think it's Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihaly

[@williamseipp9691]

Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience (Harper Perennial Modern Classics) Paperback - July 1, 2008 by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

5:46 Charlie didn't quote that, that's a famous Einstein quote

[@marialeonorcobo8962]

Naval is talking about Mindfulness…

[@OnekamaProducts]

Naval will be the true modern stoic, Sorry Ryan Holiday.

[@MiguelHernandez-pt1kl]

But the past is real ! My scars are evidence of the past

[@kevinjackson4933]

I love Naval's advice, but it's ultimately meaningless without Christ underlying it.
