Rest & Recreation as Supply-chain Management

In optimising rest, I have to check my definitions of rest. Muscles below refer to both skeletal, and non-skeletal muscles such as those of the iris.

Passive rest : muscles are not active, conscious imagination is not active. Least productive form of R&R.

Active recreation, psychic : day dreaming : conscious imagination is active. 

- bad posture : muscles are tensed

- good posture : muscles are relaxed

Active recreation, muscular : 

- first form : relax muscles

- second form : intuit (refer to subconscious) and consciously test for movements which increase pleasure (bouquet of somatic sensations, thermal, haptic, etc. coupled with NE, DA, 5HT release ... figuring out which of the latter is which, is tricky)

- third form : as with second form, but to decrease pain

- generally, one iterates through the forms, in order to maximise the welfare derived from time spent in R&R

As children, many of us intuitively learn to do this. But over time, some things are forgotten, so I am learning to retrain myself in a soldierly fashion.

Operational metric :

After 21 years, I still don't have an efficient way of quantifying my gym workouts. Next, I'm trying "total mass manipulated" without regard for the distance manipulated ... so like today, first data-point ... 5,000 lbs. This results in a single numeric output. (It's not a lot - if you're doing low-mass with high-reps, moreover where not all of these are free weights. A 40 lbs press 20 times is counted as 800 lbs-manipulated.)

Studying dopamine serotonin difference.

Probably I skew towards Sensory Processing Disorder, Sensory Craving

My observation of self : more haptic activity (kinesthesia, proprioception) ... increases my overall cognitive rate of processing; maybe not a disability in this sense, but if I am sensitive to this dimension, I would complain more easily than others about a lack of such stimuli.

Relative to many citizens, I'm relatively insensitive. I offend people and have to check myself from time to time, to respect their preferences.

This is ... me trying to figure out a practical metric to ensure enough exertion towards various outputs ...

- haptic stimuli for dopamine, serotonin, perhaps the main cognitive booster

- general heart health

- body building to make partners happier

Reframing Horizontals as Verticals

In the planning of strategy ... for organisational development ... I have come to the realisation, that Finance, HR, and Marketing are more accurately modeled as VERTICALS ( value-chains ), and not HORIZONTALS ( business functions ).

This comes from the point of view, that value-chain management is external facing ... transcending the boundaries of the corporation : respectively, the stakeholder varieties of financiers, labour, and customers are all beyond the boundaries of the corporation.

Whereas, business functional management is internal facing ... regarding the intermediate processes which do not directly map to any specific external stakeholder.

Under this lens, technology and legal are horizontals, whereas regulatory compliance is a vertical.

Hmm!

I'm just stabbing at vocab. No one actually calls business functions, "horizontals".

Skills are False Gods ( but it depends on your religion )

"I am a W, I want to be an X, so I am going to study Y, am I doing it right?"

Look kid ...

1. You're already there.

2. The concrete targets you're missing are 1.1. how much you want to get paid, 1.2. who reports to you, 1.3. who knows you exist.

3. Skills are false gods - they shift like shadows and will distract you from strategic concerns.

I only say this because you stated your religion as, "I want to be an X". 

As for myself, I tend to state my religion as, "I want to do A", and therefore 3. above doesn't apply - skills are the true gods of my religion.

By the way, since we're on the topic ... skills are a subset of knowledge. People who say they are equal but different are just out to con you, probably to pay for some sort of knowledge which is absent of skill.

Taste / Style : Lensed as a Slave Morality

After reading many times, the complaint that money doesn't buy taste, I've come to the conclusion : that taste is as much a slave morality, as it is an in-group classifier. Must be a middle-class thing, to care about taste. Bloody ladder climbers ...

The Commerce of Intimacy

Relationships are not complicated. 

It's just business.

People you like to cuddle with are like customers that pay on time.

People who have no perceivable risk are low-potential growth assets.

People who are looking for high-potential growth assets, should date each other.

Etc.
