Time Constraints

[Kew]

So recently I was reading a book about leadership, and saw some real parallels between a chapter there and pickup. I still think too much before opening. I make excuses and bide my time hoping for optimal sets. This kills my game.

Parkinson's Law: If you have only one letter to write, it will take all day to do it. If you have twenty letters to write, you'll get them done in one day.

Under normal conditions we are efficient, under time pressure we become effective. Efficiency is the foundation for survival. Effectiveness is the foundation of success.

And my aim is success. Am I the only one who finds opening much easier in the last 30 minutes to an hour a place is open? I've been sitting around with no results and just tell myself, "Now or never" and I open many more sets. I went out late saturday, got to the bar about 45 minutes before it closed. I opened more sets in that 45 minutes, and felt as though I had more positive interactions then in the previous two nights out combined. And it was all a mindset thing.

I see even moreso now why the 3 second rule is so important. I am going to try and set false time constraints for myself in the future to battle any remaining AA I might have. I think it will work!

Why do you think I said that one o'clock was the magic hour? Women have the same goal as we do when they go out to a bar or club. They want to get laid. So at one o'clock, they have the same sort of pressure on them to meet someone before the place closes up.

I was actually going to make a post similar to this but yours has a better foundation. I was thinking the same thing man, I have been pondering to much before talking and need to just practice the 3 second rule effectively.

I agree that you are more likely to pull ass after 1 am. However, what if you spent the three hours before that getting warmed up? Getting into state? You'd be even more likely to pull.

Everytime I read your posts scoundrel, it's like you're repeating what's going on in my head. I love it.

For sure, and that's why I have been trying to get out of the habit of "biding my time" until its super late. It's just that as it gets later, in the past the fuck it can't wait any longer mindset has been a big trigger for me. Now its about evoking that fuck it why wait at all, ever mindset at all times.
