Just my thoughts #0800

Habits and Structuring: The human willpower is of limited help when trying to change habits or create new ones. Everyone has habits that are hard to change. If you repeatedly forget to do something, you may feel embarrassed. In that case, you need to change the structure. For example, change the order of tasks. This is called coupling or decoupling, and connecting new habits with existing ones can make changes easier to implement. For instance, if you often run late in the morning, consider changing the order of your routine or linking it with another habit. If you forget to take your morning medication, try attaching it to another daily activity, such as drinking water before or after a meal, and the habit of forgetfulness will fade. Relying solely on willpower is unwise. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0109

The founder of the Presbyterian Church, Jean-Calvin, gave the name “vocation (calling)” to the “labor power” people provided to the capitalist. Labor is sacred and destiny. However, in this natural world, humans are the only ones who do much work without reason beyond those necessary for survival. African lions only take a nap outside of hunting time. “The dog in my house” also plays outside except for walking and eating. Humans who work physically and mentally 24 hours a day even abuse their brains, saying they are lacking. Only when you prove yourself to others do you become yourself indeed. But the time has come for AI and robots to do the work humans value. The opportunity came to be recognized for value, not the ability, but the existence itself. In the future, “Who am I?” will lead to success rather than “What are you doing?” Then, I'm asking, “Who are you?” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
