GHDR Reboot 027: Reboot Complete!

I think it's safe to say that I am done "rebooting" the GHDR system...it's been nearly 30 days since I started this new phase on August 8, and the system now has these parts:

The GHDR System

As of September 2022, there are these basic parts:

1. STARTUP

I wrote about these habits in earlier journal entries:

• Get out of bed as fast as possible, don't think or plan beyond getting into the shower!
• Thinking and planning in the shower is fine, as is while moisturizing and dressing for the day!
• Eat some bites of fruit for a small amount of ready sugar carbohydrates, take vitamin B-12, drink 32oz of water.
• Take adderall if it's an adderall day
• Plunk butt down at the computer and review yesterday's notes
• Maybe make coffee while contemplating the notes
• Open the daily journal using the knowledge management system

2. IN-BETWEEN

• use the knowledge management system to keep notes as they come up
• use the daily journal entry to maintain continuity notes and important thoughts as they happen
• supplement with index cards, lists, and coworking server support
• structure tasks as questions to answer relative to one of the strategic horizons I am pursuing

3. SHUTDOWN

These are still problematic because I find it hard to fall asleep, and sometimes video game sessions with friends will keep me up much to 3AM or later!

• Start to summarize the daily journal note...
• "Close the Kitchen" by tidying it up so it's ready for the morning
• Finish the daily journal note and post it.
• Evening shower to get the ick of the day off
• Tidy bedroom
• Set alarms, move everything except Kindle out of bedroom
• Read a bit, something I haven't done for a long time!

The Missing Operational Goals

I have had so many great insights, and the new GHDR 2022 Framework has started to form as a result of this daily work. However, there are still hard projects that I have to tackle if I want to move toward any of the strategic horizons I defined. The two most urgent projects are selling printed products again and creating physical space in my home, so I think those will be my two slots for September.

REVIEW OF MATERIALS

The August 8 version of my GHDR Goals (see right) needs a lot of revision given all the new insights I've had this month. I also documented quite of few TROPES and SRI QUIRKS as I wrote about them in passing in the various JOURNAL ENTRIES. The entries in bold are ones that are related to the GHDR reboot:

Wrapping Up / Next Steps

That's all the prep I'm going to do today; it's already taken a few hours of time, but I think it was good to do this planning today. I'll be bringing back my weird two slot + aux from 2020, in which there is a "primary effort" slot, a "discovery" slot, and an auxiliary "everything else reactive" slot.
