🤔 Brief reflection

Today, burnout came to me.

And I was busy blaming myself for being like that.

Somehow, I felt anxious, as if I were returning to my old helpless state again.

But in the “Life RPG Scheduler” that I have been writing every day in Google Sheets since early 2017, there was a clear record: “26 combo.”

That is proof that for 26 days straight, I achieved a rating of 4 or higher, meaning more than 10 blocks of meaningful activity in a day and more than 3 hours of focused work.

Only then did all the actions I had taken today finally make sense.

“Wow, it really was time to rest lol. I really have been living hard, huh?!”

There was a kind of emotion here that was different from simply feeling proud that “I lived hard.”

Am I not a “routine system designer” who solves problems with a “system,” not willpower?

The long-term “goals” served as the lighthouse that shone direction, the day-to-day “tasks” were the navigator holding the wheel, and the steady “habits” were the engine moving the ship forward. The result was this “26 combo.”

“If I design a ‘routine system’ for each item and simply melt into that system, I can achieve what I set out to do.”

In a way, I had partly proven that my hypothesis was right.

With “Today’s Verification” + “Life RPG Scheduler,” that is.

A thought suddenly came to me: perhaps the strength of a “system” is that it can use data to enable self-objectification like this.

So that my greed would not run wild today and ruin me, this system became the final safety device.

The “routine system” was born because I want to hand useless worries and effort over to the system and focus only on what truly matters.

And the reason I make systems like this is not to tighten a noose around myself, but to save myself.

I should always be careful not to forget that essence.

Anyway, thanks to it, I rested enough.

This burnout will remain not as a failure, but as valuable data for a better system.

Based on today’s experience, next time I should also think about how to melt the concept of “sustainable rest” into the system.
