    “The octopus is not sitting in its room watching TH-cam videos about how to escape” this one got me ⚰️💀

    Who wants the full course module? Let me know by liking/commenting so I know there is interest in the long format. It goes into a lot of tedious detail, which the algo has not favoured in the past. The full module walks you through building your own tentacle system and all the mistakes I see with clients who try to adopt the method.

      Should make a 2 hour course on this concept.
      Long-term format is still the most effective in changing people's lives, and that kind of outcome is the only one that matters anyway.

    I've heard many people mention 1 step at a time + don't stop moving, but thinking in one tentacle at a time, gathering info with each tentacle, with the stable + commitment/ progress ends of the spectrum, this feels like an advanced, pro version of the method imma try this today thank you for this 🙏🙏 also, where can I find the resources section?

    As an octopus, I can overcome any difficulty, except that one neighboring sponge living in a pineapple house.

  • @ideegeniali
    @ideegeniali 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Best part of this is that first step ain't jump in the unknown with a potentially harmful action, on the contrary, it's gaining informations quietly in the safest manner possible. That's extremely useful!
    I've been knowing to split hard tasks in small steps for ages. But I considered information gathering as a prequel to action, like sunk time, and yet no action. And that increased paralysis for the first real action after information gathering: i put efforts in, but didn't start yet. With this video i can now consider information gathering as first steps already done and just keep moving. That's fantastic!

    This is very similar to a process I've made, Summed up: Figure things out by doing a smaller portion of it first, then scale up based on what happens.
    You're the only person I found, who talks about this engineering principle as a life principle.
    People are really really stupid when it comes to these things, for some reason. Maybe they hate making their life better or something, idk.

    What if you're not an octopus? What if there is a shark in the tank? What if Fran is unemployed and has bills to pay? In most real life situations there is no space or time for safe exploration.

    • @gregothy9190
      @gregothy9190 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Right, that's not really what he's talking about, right? He's specifically discussing "how do I move from stable position to stable position". I'm sure he might have other videos, or there might be other videos answering this question, but it's a very different conversation. In the example he chose, Fran _is_ employed in a corporate role, which is why this tool is useful.

Like “I permit you (to go watch some octopus videos)” and “I’ll tell you how long you should take and how quickly things go” like damnnnn okayyy hahaha I mean I understand he’s prolly trying to help the extreme slow procrastination type people?

    I know this might not be the intended audience...but im a trans woman, and this really well summarises and explains how im thinking of my transition, small, safe steps with trusted friends and in private, gathering data on how to do it all, how to be safe, how to move and look more authentically, without exposing myself until i can build more confidence in myself. Its nice to have a system to think through these things

    Most important: have a social network to tap in. Because without one it's hard to gather actual hands-on data - too much contradicting misinformation on the internet.
    Doesn't have one? Oh, too bad!
