That's awesome TLO, having a schedule is really helpful for imvproving.
If you like meditation, you should try to incorporate it into your schedule everyday, just 15-30 minutes is good enough. Personally it calms me down a lot and I find it much easier to focus after a session, and get much better sleep if I meditate before bed. I think mindfulness is helpful to SC

I am really glad you have set aside time for meditation. People really dont fully appreciated the effect it can have in terms of relaxing yourself, but most of all building mental balance, which is an incredibly crucial life skill and ofc, sc2 skill

Looks like a good plan, I will tune into you streaming whenever I can too to help support you! :D. I am hoping HOTS brings out the best of foreigners and we get some foreigners winning some tournaments! And it sounds like you want to to do that too!
|
I've been looking forward to reading your blog. I must say, I wasn't disappointed mate. Good job! I believe in you!
|
Sounds like a good plan With focus and with giving yourself some hard time, we sure will see you owning some tours soon.

I am so excited to see this! Incidentally, I just made a plan like that for myself the other day. However, instead of "SC 2" I had to squeeze in 40 hrs of work and 20 more for my studies... now that I think about it, "doing something nice" really is the only slot left where I can play some SC2... thanks for reminding me how much my life sucks. 
The best of luck to you, man!

I was always wondering why youre not competing in the german eps.. :/ Now that youre in germany and its not extraordinarily time consuming to play a 32 player bracket every 2 weeks...
I miss some tlo action in the eps

Don't eat three meals, but five or six. Your body needs energy to process the food. Wich means that energy won't go into focus. The bigger the meal, the bigger the energy loss. On a tight schedule as the one you have it will be less efficient to play SC right after a meal. Maybe take a small powernap after lunch/dinner, or divide your meals into smaller portions and more times.
On tournaments you could follow the schedules some of the poker professionals follow. They eat really light (banana etc) during the time they need to focus, and have a bigger meal after the playing time.
I believe it already was posted here, but I would reconsider your feeding times. For tourney's in different timezones you'd get hungry when you eat on a specific timetable.

Whhhhaaaaaa. I love the intentionality that went into this. Putting yourself in a very structured environment is actually very relaxing for the mind, because it takes away so many of the day-to-day decisions that sap your brain power

5 bucks says you won't follow through

seems legit, good luck with it

Get a hobby in there. Preferably some sport.
Not just a work out you do for the sake of working out, something you do for fun. This way you get to work out, and relax/clear your brain at the same time. There is so much stuff you can do in Berlin. Try some martial art, learn archery, start kajaking, doesnt really matter as long as its fun.
Im sitting on my desk most of the day for the last years (studying and working) and sometimes i had a hard time motivating me to work out. But since i started naginata (traditional japanese martial art were you fight with a long, glaive-like weapon, but as mentioned, it realy doesnt matter what ou do, i just like hitting people :D) im there three times a week. I don't have to work out anymore. I get to work out. And thats a big difference to me :D
Way better than doing exercies just for the sake of it imo. You would do sport and "do something nice" at the same time.

Dario, just a tip : dont go selfmade rambo with crossfit. Easiest way to fuck up your body. belive me.
go for a 3/7 training for 2 months. if need help or tips ,contact me.

just to be clear: i think your schedule is a bit "Rought" ,and you really need to focus on what you eat/weight/ concentration level. Anyway,send me a PM.I do this for a lot of guys here improving their body condition.

i dont wanna sound pessimistic but you said the same thing over and over is hard for me to belive you will actualy do what you plan on doing . anyway i wish you gl

this is because there's not a professional/competent support behind him. The easiest result is failure. I worked with a lot of guys in my life with the same issue , but its possible to reach what TLO wants if there's someone who help him.

Hey dadde, I actually have a really awesome coach now that is helping me out a lot We'll be working on finding the perfect schedule for me over the next weeks. Right now the schedule I published is still pretty rough but I already have a lot more details of it at hand that I'll probably publish in the 1-2 entries afters this
|
thats good! Anyway,my pow is that tring to squeeze yourself in a strict/rigid schedule wont bring you far. Btw, i wish you the best of luck. If you need tips,just pm me. Cheers and GL!
