converting to a fractional life

my life as a rendering of what fractional living kinda looks like

hey, hello, how we doing?

it’s just turned 1pm.

i feel like i’ve wasted the whole morning, i’ve got my cold brew coffee and about fifteen freaking threads of “outstanding actions” that i need to be moving the needle on, i know after i’ve finished writing this i need to meditate and rebalance myself, i don’t always know or care to do that.

these days, it’s more important than ever.

my life is time sprints, the day closes out to fast, we don’t ever get enough done in a day but if we do have the right prompt or question we can accelerate the time we get back with the help of ai assistance, that’s pretty rad.

potentially destroying the planet and removing our fresh water supply, but hey, it’s progress right, a billion minds mashing at the keyboard with saveloy fingers in the hope that their creative outbursts can align them in their own daily universes.

i’m trying hard to fractionalize my life, less so about sprints but into things i generally enjoy, a little bit over here, a little over there.

it used to be mentally badged to me as a “few hour sprint” to kinda break the back of the “outstanding” mental load of chores and tasks and nice to have’s but with the notion of always on demand ai agents i’ve realised that the reality of things that help feed our meatsacks is really possible.

just think of all the eight hour blocks of sleep time we spent where our alter ego can be working on breaking down and getting us ready on wake for the day ahead, actually giving us a ready to go roadmap for the day ahead.

that’s where i’m mentally pushing the coginitive load these days.

what can i fractionalize in my life that frustrates or annoys me and where do i get back time that i can manage better if i’m more away of the whole but from a macro lense.

i’ve recently been building a scheduler, in fact i’ve probably been building it on and off for the last six months, each day utilizing my ai pro account to max out what i can afford and in the process i’ve built out a cool little “rss-to-𝕏” scheduler — the ultimate aim is for it to become my social scheduler, taking my world and distributing those “moments”

rss scheduler that i'm building for myself

i built in support for hive the other week and i’ve got translation and a bunch of ideas how i can improve that with templating. i gotta get me some more hive while the price is low so that i don’t have to worry about RC/Mana recharge issues and i need to do some formatting for special posts for video/audio but it’s pretty much there.

i like fractional working.

i can wait for things to recharge, both my ai tokens and my brain need that, meditation is like the recharge for my grey matter. i seem to keep using tech ideas as the knowledge drivers that i communicate with these days — using things like firewalls/bandwidth throtting to explain how my brain should work on the daily.

problem is when the cat is out of the bag, it want to expand fractional living to every part of your life, it’s a lot of work, it can change and shape, you discover new things about yourself, where your ego controls a lot of the outcomes and where you need to educate yourself, it exposes a lot of the areas you might be vulnerable and weak in.

the urgency is always there, to be faster, to keep up.

but i think being slow and delibrate and doing so with fractions of time spent in these things is valuable, the old adage would be “let it breathe” and while i do that, i realise that i’m keeping a lot of these threads stay active (you just have to imagine loki holding onto all those strands of time to relate here)

meditation is the key for the dns human brain wipe here.

instead of “You’re out of extra usage · resets 1:40pm (America/New_York)” it’s time for a meditation break, to unbuckle myself from the notion to work harder to have more, to earn more to get more, to go max, to max out, to run run run into the tarpit of that race to the eventual bottom.

i think i’d rather just play.
