- Buy a japanese flip phone, they support modern android and look pretty sleek, but they do not have a touchscreen. Making it a perfect blend of modern convenience (you can install all your must-have apps) and feature phone utilitarianism
- We need a browser to support Manifest v2, I recommend either Waterfox/Librewolf (Firefox users) or Helium/Thorium (Google Chrome users). The extensions I recommend are uBlock Origin (it removes ads and you can add custom websites that you want blocked) and DFTube for Youtube (makes it such youtube is search only, we want all our youtube visits to be intentional).
- Get a Desktop PC or remove the battery from your laptop so it constantly needs to stay charged. A bit extreme but it worked wonders for me, every time I needed to look something on the internet, I needed to go to my desktop. It helped remove a lot of those periods in a day where life feels like a blur.
- Get some sunlight first thing in the morning to further establish a steady body rhythm
- Avoid aluminium packaged food and plastics like the plague. Heavy metals and microplastic can lead to brain fog
If you want to get rid of any especially bad habits before we continue any further which might deter you like drug addictions or chronic gooning. I suggest checking out this guide I made
For this guide skills will be separated in 2 sections physical skills and intelectual skills, this will come handy in the time management section of the guide.
25% of adults in the US stick to their New Year's Resolution and 8% of them actually achieve them. They have 365 days ahead of them, so it is clearly not because they have "too little time", the reason is either the goal is too abstract (e.g. I wanna be rich or I wanna find happiness) or the goal is not properly planned at all (e.g. I want to achieve a 6 minute mile, they have no clear progression on how to do that and quit after a week due to lack of motivation).
Skill acquisition and mastery constists of only these 2 factors, those being planning out and consistent practice, with planning out being the hard part. An key part of what makes RPG games so addictive is that the planning out is linear and already given to us when it comes to skills, our task is to try to replicate that and be in total control of our skill acquisition.
Linearity is a very underlooked issue in skill acquisition in the sense that after a certain level you feel like you are not progressing as much despite putting the same amount of effort or even more than you used to at the start, making you much more likely to quit before reaching mastery. All skills ranging from calisthenics all the way to language learning follow this progression. The Y-axis would be perceived advancement and x-axis would be time spent on the skill.
My proposal would be to break down the bigger skill into the a skill tree consisting of many of the simplest form of skill advancement, which in this guide will be called a task, something which once you learn you can do and redo. Examples include heel-toe shifting in a car, being able to do a calisthenics position, being able to consistently point out a specific facial failo across multiple people, being able to solder a RAM chip on a board, etc. The skill tree will always follow this structure: Novice (few branches), Beginner (a little more branches), Intermediate (the most branches), Advances (as much branches as beginner or maybe even less). The intermediate level having the most branches is why the intermediate plateu exists and conquering them will get you over it.
As you have seen in these examples of both a physical and an intellectual skill, the skills are broken down into something binary that either you can or cannot do, if you can good for you, you can progress, if not keep practicing. This system is much more linear and transparent with the rate of your progression. I have achieved very fast results using this system in both skateboarding and guitar, achieving in 2 years what some people didn't in 10 years, because this system always pushes you out of your comfort zone to learn as fast as possible in a RPG-like manner.
Your task will be to take 3 skills, preferably 2 intellectual skills and a physical skill if you want, if you have nothing in particular for physical skills I would default to calisthenics, and do such a map like I have shown in the examples, I recommend to make sure tasks get progressively more difficult as the branch goes on.
This guide was in the works for a while, I needed to perfect it so I can give a full detailed overview on how anyone could replicate it and find success in it, hope you guys enjoy it.
Introduction:
This will be my third and most high effort yet guide I make on this forum. I will give you a thorough and detailed guide on how to gamify and structure your life, such that it all feels seamless.
This guide will cover everything from how to skillbuild like in a video game and how to structure your day all the way to how to integrate physical exercise, as that one could maintain high strength and look lean without any of the nausea and bodily stress that is often felt after a gym session.

Removing debuffs:
Most people fail long before discipline and stability even becomes relevant. Their environment is simply too chaotic for consistent output. Constant notifications, unstable sleep, energy crashes, brain fog, and random distractions destroy any momentum that would bring on this gamified lifestyle. These problems need to be systematically eliminated first, I will address root fixes for how to remove all this friction
Distraction Annihilation:

Diet:
From my experience, I found ketogenic low carb high fat diets the most optimal to help remove all these problems. Gluconeogenisis (energy from fats) allows for a constant influx of glucose coming to the brain, as a result energy crashes and mood swings basically dissapear afterwards, much like how a car prefers high steady speed over constant changes in speed. Do not listen to foids about how eating leaves and grains will make you healthy, opt for eating lots of eggs and steak. Such diet also keeps you more satiated so you will spend less time of your life cooking and cleaning.
Lifestyle:
- Sleep and wake up at around the same day every day, weekend includedFrom my experience, I found ketogenic low carb high fat diets the most optimal to help remove all these problems.

TLDR: Your life will be the same as a techy person from 2007, back when there was a very healthy balance between technology and real life. We try to imitate that balance along with lifestyle optimisations that would remove any variables that would deter us from proceeding any further with this guide.
Skill Progression and Management
Skill Progression and Management
For this guide skills will be separated in 2 sections physical skills and intelectual skills, this will come handy in the time management section of the guide.
25% of adults in the US stick to their New Year's Resolution and 8% of them actually achieve them. They have 365 days ahead of them, so it is clearly not because they have "too little time", the reason is either the goal is too abstract (e.g. I wanna be rich or I wanna find happiness) or the goal is not properly planned at all (e.g. I want to achieve a 6 minute mile, they have no clear progression on how to do that and quit after a week due to lack of motivation).

I need at least 60% of the previous level of the skill tree to ascend to the next one
At novice level I would learn how to do an ollie and how to do a manual for a few seconds
At beginner level, now that know how to ollie
Main branch: I will learn how to pop shuvit, frontside/backside 180, boneless, hippie jump and acid drop
Branch #1 (street freestyle): I will learn how to 50-50 grind, nose stall, do a wallie and a firecracker
Branch #2 (Transition tricks): I will learn how to drop in, fakie rock and tail stall
At intermediate level:
Main branch (early intermediate): Kickflip, Heelflip, Half cab, Boardslide, 50-50, Ollie stairs
Main branch (mid intermediate): Tre flip, Crooks, Smiths, Feebles, Varial heel
Branch #1 (Street Freestyle): Back boards, Lipslides, Nosegrinds, Crooked grinds, Hardflips, Inward heels, Bigspins, No Comply
Branch #2 (Transition tricks): Rock fakie, Axle stall, Rock n roll, Rock fakie, Axle stall, Rock n roll
Branch #3 (Steeze adders): Bigspins, 360 shuvs, Late shuvs, Long Manuals
Branch #4 (bases on a mix of branch 1 and 2, think of it as a secret branch once you master the first 2 ): Wallrides, Pole jams, Slappies
At advanced level:
Main branch: Laser flip, Hardflip, Inward heel, Double flip, Dolphin flip, 360 hardflip, Switch flip, Nollie heel
Branch #1 (Street Freestyle): Crook nollie flip out, Nosegrind nollie heel out, Bluntslide, Front blunt
Branch #2 (Transition tricks): Nose blunt, Smith grind, Feeble grind, McTwist, 540, Alley-oop air, Kickflip indy
Despite there being only 2 branches, tricks are a mix of all 4 branches in the intermediate level

Select 6 songs that you like for each branch in each level, each of increasing difficulty
At novice level:
Classic Rock Branch, Pop-Folk Branch
At beginner level:
Classic Rock Branch evolves and breaks off into: Blues Rock Branch, Hard Rock Branch and Indie Rock Branch (combined with Folk Branch)
Folk Branch evolves and breaks off into : Fingerstyle Branch, Country Branch, Americana Branch
At intermediate level:
You mastered the folk branch, the break off will only be in the Classic Rock big branch
Blues Rock evolves and breaks off into: Texas Blues, Southern Rock, Jam Band Rock
Hard Rock evolves and breaks off into: Heavy metal, Thrash metal, Glam metal, Alternative metal
Indie Rock evolves and breaks off into: Post-Rock, Shoegaze, Alternative Rock and Math Rock
The advanced level will have less branches, but much like the skateboarding skill, a mix of different techniques from different branches of the intermediate level will be needed
The guitar skill can be also broken down into specific techniques like beginner having hammer on / pull offs and based on that intermediate has tapping and advanced has double handed tapping, but in my opinion learning individual songs gives you much more context behind those techniques, goes to show just how malleable this system can be.

Structuring your Day like a Video Game
I will want you take the 24 hours in a day and subtract the hours of which you have must-do's (job, school, university and events that were planned ahead of time) and the hours you sleep. In that free time, 75% will go to the timeblock and the other 25% are for unforseen events. The time block will be structured such:
- 1 hour doing your intellectual skill #1 for about an hour
- Do physical skill in the off-time, either do task until bored or do half the amount of max reps you can needed to reach your strength-based physical skill
-Rest of the second hour of doing intellectual skill #1 or relaxing by watching media regarding intellectual skill #1
- Repeat physical skill off-time
- Rinse and repeat
Based on if you are bored you can switch intellectual skill #1 to intellectual skill #2, in that time you will be fully focused on trying to achieve the task from the skill tree you are working on to master. This does loop does multiple things: it forces you to try as hard as possible to do the task you are working on; makes you fully immerse regarding said skill, which is proven to be the most optimal method for very fast skill acquisition and mastery; For the physical skill in the off-time of every hour, it makes the body wake up, gives it a reward mechanism and it applies a grease the groove mechanism for fast progression in your physical skill, proven to be one of the least stressful and faster ways that people advance in a physical skill.

Our example here is Mr.A, Mr.A broke down the language learning skill and made a skill tree, the reading branch for his intermediate level would be watching a show made for teenagers with subtitles on, he works on this until he will be able to watch an episode without looking a word up. He will do push-ups until he slightly feels sore, here is his schedule
- Go to University and do Anki until 14:20
- Watch a 3 episodes on a show in the language he wants to learn
- Do 15 push-ups
- Plays video games in his target language or continues another 3 episodes depending on how mentally drained he is
- Do 15 push-ups
He will do that until 20:00, when he will go out with his friend play bowling and chat. Mr.A was consistent and he reaches his goals in a very short time compared to the average.
