The reason you feel tired all the time is either you don’t sleep long enough, or you don’t drink enough coffee, even if you have good reasons for not doing so.

You’ve been indoctrinated into believing that all you need is eight hours of sleep every single day, and then you’ll have full energy the next day, like your battery is fully charged or something.

You have been misled by a non-human low IQ society of non-living beings into believing that you are supposed to treat yourself like you are a non-living machine, and settle for a certain duration of time, beyond which, you should always wake yourself up, because you are supposed to be well-rested by then, and the only thing that will be giving you feelings of I need to sleep more is your laziness, procrastination tendencies, and lack of discipline.

As a living organism, you will need more sleep time, in order to fully recover, the more you exhaust yourself the previous day.

That number, the number of hours you need to sleep to attain the well-rested or fully recovered state, will vary, according to how much energy you’ve spent the previous day or several days, and will go up in value and magnitude, the more exhausted you are, simply because your body needs more time to repair itself, and replenish its energy stores to the fullest.

Saying eight hours is always enough for that is brain-dead to say the least.

Just as you will need more time for muscle growth, recovery, and building the more you workout in the gym, you will need more time, not just higher quality and deeper sleep, but longer sleep, and sleeping for a longer time, in order to recover your body, brain, mental, and physical energy to the fullest, and really become and feel like you’re totally well-rested, and ready for anything. Ready for more, and want to crush it today as well, just as you did yesterday, and beyond, as if you’re good as new.

All you need is sleep for ten hours straight uninterrupted, high quality deep sleep, with good REM sleep and dreaming, and then you wake up, and drink a gallon of coffee. This is literally the cure for your feeling tired all the time, not having enough energy to do what must be done to fix your life, or get to the life that you truly want. This will not work, unless you are physically fit enough, and you do physical exercise on the regular like a professional athlete. You still need tons of physical exercise for having endless energy. But what’s one thing I can do, to have endless energy tomorrow when I wake up, despite going to bed today feeling fully exhausted, and done with life and with pushing it so hard every single day to live my life to the fullest? Despite feeling the day before that this is unsustainable, and I need to slow down a little bit because I’m too old for this. And you start giving up on your dreams and best life, and start lowering your standards, just because you feel tired all the time. What’s one thing I need to fully recover my energy, after being fully exhausted the previous day. This is why you feel too old or too tired or low energy to do anything. And the beauty of it is, you can do that every single day. It’s not just one day where you pushed yourself, and then you crash the next day or the day after that. It is very sustainable. Because you sleep for ten hours straight, not seven or eight as recommended by most people. Add to that meditation for an hour and a half every other day, and you’ll have enough energy all the time to do anything and everything you always wanted. You just need time, and for that, the only answer is time freedom, which is attained through financial freedom, not from time management, as a futile attempt to have some quality time for yourself every single day before everybody else wakes up, whilst leading a life that you truly hate. A life that is totally not for you, according to what you think, your standards, your core values, and what truly matters to you the most.

I won’t lie to you, sometimes you might need more than ten hours straight, to become well-rested and fully recover your energy. That number could be raised to eleven hours straight, if need be, even on the daily. There’s no upper limit for that.

The rule is simple as follows.

Sleep every single day, until fully recovered, until fully rested, and until you feel like you’re really totally well-rested, and ready for anything.

Sleep as long as it takes to reach that state. There’s no right answer.

You still need to meditate, and exercise, like there’s no tomorrow, in order to maintain endless energy.

And don’t forget the coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. Every single day, even if you don’t feel like it. You’ll need it.

That’s why you need to practice everything to death, until it becomes natural to you, and less energy demanding to execute.

This explains why you seem to never be able to win again, the second you lose a game you’re supposed to win, or deserved to win, in DotA 2. Your anger next game will be responsible for your underperformance. You will play worse, when you’re tilted. That’s why you need to control your anger, instead of letting it control you, in order to retain your best and highest performance possible.

When you’re angry, you get more physical strength. If you punch a hard rock when you’re angry, you will shatter it to pieces, provided you’re physically strong enough to be able to do so. 

Impact. 

When you’re calm and collected, you won’t be able to break the rock, even if you hit it a thousand times, even with the same strength. It just won’t happen, and you don’t know why. 

Your anger, makes you stronger. But you don’t know why you lose, because of it. 

In order to win, against all odds, no matter who your opponents are, or even how many they are and how strong they are, you need to be faster. Not stronger, but better, and faster, even at the expense of strength. 

If you learn to go at ninety percent mental capacity, you will find yourself more flexible and faster. 

See, when you go at a hundred percent capacity, because you want to overdrive yourself, or overcharge yourself, or overclock yourself, you will face inevitable rigidity, even if you’re not angry. 

Because you are demanding more blood flow to your brain, and you’re pushing hard the same neurons to do their job better, and faster, so you overcharge your neurons, and end up stuck with the overcharged ones without being able to switch back and forth between them and other sets of neurons, almost simultaneously. That is, you lose fluidity, flexibility, and become rigid and fixed and unshakable, to the extent that you feel like you have parkinson’s disease or something. 

Increased intracranial tension from all this extreme pushing to surpass your maximum capacity by a large margin makes you feel like you’re going to blow up, to literally explode, if you switch between tasks, targets, moves, or actions. So, you have to keep your rigidity, in order to save your life. 

If you operate at ninety percent mental capacity, you will feel like you can do better than that. 

But if you considered how faster you are. How more flexible you are. How fluid you are, almost untouchable in the face of anything, you’d be amazed at how much superior ninety percent of your maximum mental or cognitive capacity is to a literal hundred percent capacity or more when you’re overcharged and trying to win by any means necessary. Whether that overcharge is coming from anger, or an overwhelming desire to win despite being cool and level headed. Sometimes raising necessity to achieve your goals backfires badly, and leads to your undoing. The games that you are trying too hard to win, are the ones you lose. 

In this case, aim lower. Set the bar lower, for now your ninety percent capacity is your true hundred percent, because you now understand, that aiming for the literal hundred percent, is substantially inferior and way worse than your ninety percent capacity could ever be, as long as you have a human brain. 

Much to learn, you still have. 

The beauty, of Grandmastery. Nothing can compete with that. 

Move slower. Move less, but more effective. 

May the force be with you. 

Why chasing MMR in DotA 2 is ruining your life.

Do not waste your time chasing MMR. You cannot control that. Play your best game ever, with disregard to winning or losing. That is why we’re here.

That is why we’re passionate about DotA.

Enjoying playing with the best of heroes, that make us feel we finally can use our full potential, powers, abilities, skills, creativity, and intelligence. Playing, in order to become what we truly are, and capable of. Playing, to exercise our mind. Playing, to become who we truly are, and who we are truly meant to be.

This is literally the purpose of life. Follow your passion, no matter what. Follow the pathway that leads to your expansion the most, no matter what.

The expansion of the universe. 

I have tried EVERYTHING. 

Nothing, nothing compares to the open sea. ~ Sindbad 

Nothing EVER feels like extending your grandmastery to other carries. Ones that you’ve never played with before, but only ever faced them as enemies. 

Realizing your full potential is the purpose of your existence. Is why we’re here. The universe wants to expand, and see how far it can go. It can do. It can be. It is the purpose of your life. Do it, like there’s no tomorrow.

The goal is to expand, improve yourself, grow, and become better. Realize and reach your full potential. Your peak performance, abilities, and intelligence. How skilled you can be. How creative, and intelligent you can be, and grow into. And become. Not remaining who you are, or where you are, even if or because it’s working for you.

Spamming the same old heroes, and refusing to expand to training on new highly powerful heroes, especially carries, especially in DotA 2, until grandmastery on said hero is attained, or until you become a Grand Master on every single hero that is worth it in the game, goes against that, if you’re seriously passionate about the game, and you’re destined to be the new Yatoro, at least in terms of potential.

Do not play the same heroes, even if keeping your MMR is contingent upon that. 

Look yourself in the mirror, and ask yourself, what do I want to be doing every day for the rest of my life. Do that. ~ Gary Vee 

Live according to your core values, and what’s important to you, even if it leads to the extinction of humanity. ~ Teal Swan 

I now understand. 

I had strings, but now I’m free. ~ Ultron 

Pushing against resistance, to get your life together first, and then do what you want and what you love, does not work. You will require nuclear levels of energy just to do the bare minimum of tasks. Even taking a shower will feel like performing open heart surgery for you. 

Sit in the backyard, look at the sky, in the dark, at night, while listening to music, and think: how can I own with Morph, with faceless Void, etc., like I’m the new Yatoro. Imagine that. Visualize that. Image streaming. Form builds in your head. 

Go to the demo mode, experiment like hell with all possible builds and items humanly imaginable on said carry hero. Test it out. See what makes you smile when it works. 

And then document it. Somewhere. Keep it with you forever, for life.

This weapon is your life. ~ Master Kenobi

Do that with ALL heroes. Until satisfaction. Until completion. Until mastery.

Do not play the game trying to win until you do that on a consistent basis, and feel ready. 

I’m ready to take the trials, master. ~ says every Jedi Padawan. 

Test it out in turbo games, or even unranked all pick games. See if it works against anything and everything. Regardless of your opponent. Even against counters. Screw the pros. They are ruining the game. They want to win TI. Whatever shortcuts get them there, they’ll do it, even if it has nothing to do with what the best version of their hero is or could be. 

If you end your training now. If you choose the quick and easy path, as Vader did, you will become an agent of evil. And you will fall to the dark side, like your father did. ~ Master Yoda 

Do that with every single hero in the game, and call me in the morning. 

Tell me, you are not your happiest self EVER, after doing so. 

The root of most of your anger issues is fatigue. Things are depleting your energy all day long, with no outcome to be attained afterwards. You are aware of your energy getting lower, getting drained, getting depleted, every second of every day, without anything worthwhile happening. Without any outcome whatsoever. Without any accomplishment taking place all day long. And that keeps you unmotivated all the time to aim for anything higher than coping mechanisms that are perfectly designed to ease your pain only, without necessarily helping you succeed more, nor are they considered an accomplishment in and of themselves. That’s why you feel tired all the time. And that’s why you need to push yourself against ample resistance in order to get anything done, even the simplest of tasks. Anything whatsoever, that demands an extra iota of energy to handle or to deal with, in this case, as long as you are trapped in this state, will get you angry.
