What lowers self-efficacy?

Tried drawing this shapeshifter, it changes.

Ah, Project resistance. So now with this collection of contradictions from Steven Pressfield and Seth, I shall bring my own take. The only one way to know how to self efficiently do salesmanship is from the gut.

Can contradict, that's how inertia works, though.
  • Lowering solvency.

  • Looking beyond solvency and lying about it.

  • Being a hack, without purpose.

  • Get distracted by reference/inspiration.

  • Falling for artifice for the short term, of our object of desire.

  • Seeking gratification.

  • Waiting, waiting, waiting.

  • Fearing of being upstaged.

  • Upstaging everybody.

  • Obsessing for reassurance.

  • Response rates.

  • Navel Gazing indulgence.
     
  • Whining

  • Social media grooming

  • Not enough paradoxes

  • Too many paradoxes

  • Indulging in prosumer salesmanship

  • Having 'friends' that bankrupt and burnout.

Theo's honest rules of clerksmanship

He's written it down, as he slumbers.

Working with the epistemological limits, a mindless antibiotic marketing body of work that is no more a clerk. A clerk who's built the industrial revolution. Faster and cheaper for tomorrow.

Some professions are intrinsically hackneyed: the fast food server of a franchised turnkey, the mass entertainer pin up artist, the pornographer, the shameless upstager, fan service and the copywriter. All serving the keys jangler.

As they've become producers.

Honest hacksmenship must remain with its dignity, or it becomes a grift. One can't make a friend out of the hack, only the benefit of the project they make.

When ambulance chasing the next cargo cult for their next flick, one understands they are hierarchical with the numbers game. What is this project for? The contribution toward the smallest viable audience. (Kevin Kelly 1000 true fan model) or for the benefit of the social media advertisers who are paying for the server costs?

Authenticity ain't it, the impression of verisimilitude and consistency matters. We dip into the lake of professionalism, then return for the short term. The only thing we ask for is dignity. Programming the animosity of tomorrow.

To ignore the illiteracy that is a true sin.

Upstaging Theo


Since I'm dealing with business opportunity and not art with attention, its only fitting that mindless upstaging is encouraged. Even authenticity is a humblebrag, nothing is innocent, I'm putting the business model on its sleeve. Intrinsic remarkability and its plastic sheen.

Don't you dare upstage me, like last time. It's my job now. The M**** shot is the most important and the most worthless thing in the world now. (is that what Kyro said?) Which side is this connection on?

Innocent sweet untruths my time is here. As it's time to be an honest clerk.

Tracking traction stress


The first thing about being meticulous about tracking the work hours is that is it helping with the dreams, or is it adding unnecessary friction?

Cognitive friction, ineffective friction for doing difficult work that matters. That saying what does not get tracked does not get managed. That's the saying of scientific management. Yet at this time, is what could lead into a deadening effect.

Diversion, don't matter in the shot term. Tracking every calorie in is a meticulous solution to diet regulation, a landing pad towards a more intuitive approach. The same analogy can be brought to tracking those work/leisure time.

That Fomo could be turned into Jomo the moment tracking happens less.

Theo's Attraction


Heroic masculinity, supererogation in its bulk. With the desire to bring out the desire of strength that can taste so toxic, yet I'm willingly willing to drink, potty mouth as it's taken.

Gulp, how it's irresistible. I shall not fantasize about Kyro any further as he cleans my dirty dishes of this matter.

Such a humble job unlike mine where I have to deliver promises to the public as being an entertainer. Of these sweet little untruths of me and my sect, and mutuals. From that lake of psalms towards what was offered by Castelle.

Why can't it be with the ditch digger.
