Commit to doing no work no business no income one day a week. Call it a sabbath (or not). Use that day for resting, recharging, and cultivating the most important things in life. Counterintuitively, this sabbath will prove to be your most productive act all week.
Excellent Advice for Living
Kevin Kelly
That being the case, what if consciousness were to focus on itself? When that happens, instead of being aware of your thoughts, you’re aware that you’re aware of your thoughts. You have turned the light of consciousness back onto itself. You’re always contemplating something, but this time you’re contemplating the source of consciousness. This is true meditation.

How does IQ compare with self-discipline in predicting grades? IQ and self-discipline do not correlate with each other significantly; in other words, there are just about as many low-IQ kids who are highly self-disciplined as there are high-IQ kids who are highly self-disciplined, and conversely. Self-discipline outpredicts IQ for academic success by a factor of about 2.
