I think you might've misunderstood?

I don't have that argument (or any arguments) in any of my comments and I don't believe there's a single solution to everyone.

I have only been interested in the framework that relies only on trying to see if there's anything new to apply to my or any different situation.

Clarifying(?) edit:

Sure I think I see you champion a mindset shift, and that is definitely what most people would first need. In addition to that, there's hard math that needs to work. Similarly; a person might want to become an entrepreneur, they have that anxiety or fear of leaping to the unknown I detect from your message. When they cross that barrier, they also need to have the numbers which are sustainable. A wonderful can-do attitude and trying again and again but with failing numbers isn't enough.

Maybe I am misunderstanding.

There are definitely multiple effective solutions to your or anyone's situation to maximize their personal free time and work less.

Trying(by which I specifically mean enacting those solutions) is the largest stumbling block I've encountered for anyone to implement those solutions.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Sure. I appreciate the view, even though I can't verify if a lack of trying is a common thing or not. Personally I'm past that issue.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Do you mean you've personally exhausted all solutions to your desire to maximize your own without success?

What do you mean you're past that issue?

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No I don't mean I've quit trying. I mean that I am past needing the will to try. I'm equipped with it forever, and am actively continuing to pursue solutions.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What have you tried so far?

And which goals are you pursuing specifically?

Or I guess you can reverse those questions.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Just the goal of removing the mandatory quality of working. Free from work. Quitting forever. Every day a personal choice. To use professional skills for helping those who need them instead of benefiting capitalists.

I'll skip the details, it'd be too long to write now.
