Hi all,
Things are going well for me at the moment with automation, and I think it’s going in the right direction.
Only issue is which is really annoying me now, I can’t stop looking at my phone now, obviously some what addicted.
What do you guys do to just relax, does it pass ?
Thx
Success psychology
You have to train yourself to stop looking. If you keep looking there is a tendency to feel like you can influence things, but in reality you can only do that by looking at results at the end of the day or week and tweaking things.
You have to let it do it's thing and try and detach yourself from everything other than the end result.
It is hard.

Yeah I think looking is important in the early development of things and tweak things to be optimised and thats then Productive work.
But I’m aware I’m just feeding my dopamine levels, which is kind of draining lol, I couldn’t sleep the other night for 2 hours due to the next phase of things, invest into bonds, mortgage, get a Porsche etc etc etc Really
Annoying and stupid lol
Well done on the software tho Peter it’s pretty cool.
But on that note, I’m going to put the phone down today and not look until the day is over and think about how I want to frame/treat this… maybe treat it as it’s just a TV show and it’ll be on later tonight for instance ..

That passes when you get more confident about it. It's not good for you to be thinking about it 247.
But I think it took me a year or more before I could just go on holiday and not check until I got back, even though I could have checked anytime. But I'd have received an email if it was disastrous so although I'm not watching it, the tech is.
As Peter said the problem with over monitoring is the temptation to change it, whereas it's the week or month that counts. When you finally relax it can be quite intersting/disturbing to see that during the day you might have had a stinker but later got one back. Watching it live would have been nervy but unnecessary stress.
The problem generally is the charts show ups and downs that seem trivial but living it in real time is a different story.
