The effects of jobs with no thinking involved!

Even though the job itself is not the direct cause of some behaviors in some jobs, but how is it that some people in some jobs behave completely differently than others?

Peer pressure!

Of course, the direct cause is usually the peer pressure. After all, most of us try to blend in and the result of that is to bend ourselves in a way that matches the loudest behavior in the room. For example if someone starts to be funny and the room was just doing nothing, everyone suddenly wants to get involved.

Peer pressure itself is not bad nor it's considered good. You're welcome to fight the peer pressure and it's usually recommended because it makes you rethink every little thing and thinking about the philosophy of what you're doing; it makes you a smarter person.

The result of not thinking

I'm not sure if "not thinking" is even possible; after all, we even see dreams in our sleeps and our brains even work harder in our sleep, let alone when we're awake.

The thing is, we tend to think negatively by default and that's the root of lots of problems. Controlling your thoughts are hard enough even when there's no distractions, let alone in our age that everyone tries to steal our attention somehow; the whole business model of some of the richest corporations in our time is based on advertising after all!

So if you don't control your thoughts, what will?

Some of them are listed here:

The environment: try going in a jungle and see if you think about the same things that you do when you're in a concert!

The past: your brain likes to process everything, so it does it when it has time! Sometimes it's useless to do so, but you gotta learn to stop yourself from overdoing it!

The future: your brain, likes to be ready for the future as well, but you gotta learn to think about the future that you can control, not those that are not possible to control!

Other people: other people can change your train of thoughts by even walking in the room; I should've merged this one with the "environment" section but I didn't because people are the reason why we do so many things and sometimes they are involved in the goal and sometimes are distraction. For example, your friend is a distraction when he/she is on a break and you're not and he/she wants to chat but (s)he might be able to help you out; so what's it gonna be?? Things can get tricky when others are involved.

Eliminate distractions

Eliminating the distraction requires you to control your environment, the people around you, and finally, your thoughts.

Controlling your environment might be as easy as putting your phone on silent or as hard as working day and night for years in order to get enough money so you can move away to a new, calmer neighborhood.

But eliminating mental distractions may not be that easy. There are some tricks though:

Keep your brain busy by scheduling and planning your day.

Distract yourself when you start to think about something you can't control. The more you do it, the easier it gets. Distracting yourself (your thoughts) over and over again is the key to self control. All you have to do is to start thinking about something else when you start to think about something useless.

Plan to think about an specific topic in the future and relax till then. If you have to decide something before the week ends, you can postpone the decision making process when you have time and just simply don't think about it until the time comes. That's actually a good way to be comfortable in usually stressful times.

Choosing the right job!

A good amount of our time is being put into our jobs; and if we don't love doing it, then our brain tries to protect us, and that's not easy when there's no rewarding hormones for it; that WILL make you angry and stresses you out a lot; it's specially harmful when you're forced to do things in your job.

In some jobs you also have to think about stuff even. If your brain is not relaxed, then you're about to get fired for not being good at your job! For example, imagine you're a programmer and it requires you to think about stuff and stay focused for a long time; how much can you keep doing it if you're in a middle of a fight with your wife and she's sitting next to you!??

On the other hand, some jobs require you to be present, and you have to do a lot or do little, but it doesn't need you to think about stuff, at least not most of the time; that's the type of job that if you're not happy in it, you're going to have a hard time controlling your brain from thinking about negative things.

Behaviors changes after you get the job!

As I said earlier, lots of our behaviors depend on our environment and also the people around us. Peer pressure helps us to change. But, it's usually doesn't act alone. Peer pressure changes you, but something have already changed your peers in that way!

Jobs that require lots of thinking, requires you to communicate that thought to your peers, so you end up talking about those things and you usually make jokes about those things and thus get those pleasure hormones everyone loves while talking about those things.

But on the other hand, the jobs that doesn't require lots of thinking, have the effect of giving you lots of time to think and when you have that much time to think, you run out of things to think, thus run out of things to talk about, thus you end up talking and thinking about useless stuff; and even often makes you think about the things that makes you happy so in that way you can get the necessary pleasure hormones; and that is, my friends, a really dangerous place to be in. Why?

Because thinking about the things that make you happy are not that many, probably. First of all, they tend to be less joyful when you think about them again; second of all, the joyful topics that are joyful for all and thus you're brain will have an easier time talking about them with your coworkers. That's why you see best friends or coworkers that spend so many hours together to start talking in circles about some topics that are usually you're better off not talking about them. That's sexual jokes are so popular in those situations. And that's not good.

Solution

The solution is to have a list of things to talk about in your pocket. Try to think and talk about them and then move on when you reach a point that you feel you don't need to anymore. Trust me, there are lots of things to talk about that are useful. That itself will require you to become a researcher as well since most topics require that.

And if your job requires you to think, then you probably want to do the same, because thinking about one thing over and over will makes you someone that can't talk to other people anymore since they probably didn't even heard of the topic you know so much about.

Type safe languages can get really hard to code with; but without types, you're missing lots of things.

Make sure your mind is wired with types safe languages first, then you can learn one with no or little type safety.

A #time-lapse that will require a 10 more time-lapses just undo what I was trying to do! . I'm re-designing the whole idea of valves in the project. The final result will have more power than the current idea of valves in the webpp project. . . #code #programming #timelapse #tech #techie #technology #livecoding #live #cpp #cplusplus #jetbrains #clion https://www.instagram.com/p/B_pfHAPA-dq/?igshid=1hlvirmvxhwny

Converting the rest of the basic_uri, and adding a few useful features like a faster version std::to_string with help of std::to_chars which not clang nor gcc has it fully implemented yet even though it's a C++17 feature. . I think I need to make the whole library a header-only library. By introducing traits, I've been converting every function/class that requires strings of any kind. .

Changing the basic_uri signature to match the traits templates. But I have so much of the implementation that I have to change too. . #timelapse #cplusplus #jetbrains #clion https://www.instagram.com/p/B_dVvCZAJMC/?igshid=hicjxgm80uj1

Changing the whole structure of the cookies class. I have used both dark and light themes in this one.

Do you print your todo lists too? I do it for my project. It feels more rewarding when I cross one out.

I had a very discussion with one of my friends years ago about if human decisions were binary or not. If you break down every decision into smaller decisions, then you'll get to a point that a decision in that situation is good and the other one is bad; so we decided at last. But the problem is that we are not able to decide things in binary; we decide thousands of decisions at once. We set goals; hopefully those goals have logical reasons. For example, when I decided to make this framework (t.me/webpp), I also chose to thousands of other smaller decisions at once. And that's not the end; now I have to make millions of more decisions when they come along the way; for example when to code, which algorithms to choose and many more decisions. But the good thing now is that these decisions are easier to make because they have a more clear goal. I see young people with no goals. (Making money is not a goal, it's a tool. Contact me for more info about why!) Goals require decisions, decisions require decisions until they become so clear and small that you can (probably physically) do it just now. So a decision is not just a decision, it's the combination of millions of decisions that you have to make in the future. So choose carefully, and choose something that worth it. More than 95 percents of you don't have a goal, or even if you do, it's not worth it, and even if you have, you probably don't know why it worth it. Knowing the reason is even more important than achieving the goal. . . #goal #money #decision #programming #coding #code #coder #programmer #decisionmaking #coderlife #binary #technology #techie #techlife #tech #programmer #dev #developer #development #philosophy #why #cpp #cplusplus https://www.instagram.com/p/B9pwI_vA2lJ/?igshid=xiymmj20l9l

It's always a good idea to sharpen your knife when you have the time, so you don't have to waste more valuable time. What about you? Do you have your own custom IDE for testing and learning? . . #code #newtechnology #tech #technology #programming #programmer #techie #bash #linux #opensource #open #coding #dev #developing #developer #development https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Mnuqxg9Ad/?igshid=u43yvsivbjxo

I don't like to code for others; because those whom I worked for so far, didn't get how much time and effort I put into the code. They never understood how much it worth. That's why I stopped working for others, and now, I'm coding the foundation of my own dreams. The one single building block that will hold almost all of my ideas together; a framework in a language that can glue everything I'll write together. I have so many ideas, but if I spend coding one of them, it'll take so much out of me because those ideas need updates; and other frameworks gets updated frequently. At least now, when I update my framework, I know I'll get all the cool things I want for all of those ideas all together. I'm designing it in a way that I don't have to do it again for another project. I just have to re-use it. . .
