Jolting Yourself Out of a Rut and Redesigning Your Life

How to jolt yourself out of a rut (and redesign your life):

— MATT GRAY (@matt_gray_) June 10, 2023

It's normal in life to feel like you are in a rut.

Many destructive aspects in our society can creep up on you:

• Burnout
• Lack of purpose
• Constant dopamine exposure

They slowly stack up and compound over time.

We begin to feel the effects without understanding the root cause:

• Brain fog
• Lack of motivation
• Constantly distracted / unable to achieve flow state

We start to get frustrated and unfulfilled with our own lifestyle and performance.

Here's how I would reboot my life:

1. Practice a Brain Dump

Answer these 3 questions:

• What time of day do I feel worst at?
• What do I fall asleep stressed about?
• What aspects of my life am I most frustrated with?

Follow these rules:

• Stream of consciousness writing
• 15 minutes per response

2. Follow the "3 Level" Framework

Start being more analytical → dig 3 levels deep for every response.

IE:

What time of day do I feel worst at?
→ What is my current morning/night routine?
→ What tasks are consistently low energy inducing?
→ How do I know I feel "worst"?

3. Synthesize Outtakes

Your end goal with this exercise:

Identify 10-15 root causes behind your current rut.

• "Checking TikTok 2 hours after dinner"
• "Having 15-minute sales calls spread throughout the day"
• "Delegation is stressing me out more than reducing workload."

4. Address/Eliminate

Be ruthless in protecting your energy levels.

Either:

1. Build an effective improvement plan (ie. setting time restrictions, doing a dopamine detox etc.)
2. Remove the practice altogether.

5. Create Your Dream Week

Reducing your distractions will create a massive vacuum of free time.

Be intentional about your dream week so no distractions creep up on you.

It's very easy for life to creep up on you.

Build pillars against this from happening:

• Monthly audits
• Ideal dream week
• Morning/evening routines
• Habit creation systems

It'll take weeks of experimentation/optimization, but the end result is unbeatable.
