At the moment it is a chatter about Tikkok about the “Monk mode”, but if you watch enough videos on this topic, you will see that this means different things for different people. In essence, the idea of dealing with your work in a distracting environment is timeless. In fact, there has even been “Monk mode” a specific concept since the early 2000s and has experienced Regular fluctuations in popularity on Google over the years. Here you will find out how you can let it work for you.
Define what your “Monk mode” is
If you are in monk mode, you will approach what monks do or at least part of it. Imagine a monk in your head. What does he do? Whatever it is, it’s probably calm and concentrated. I imagine a monk in simple clothing that sits in an unadorned room at a desk and reads a religious text that is completely immersed in the present task. I had friends in the high school who were monks and I know that this is a reductive simplification of what they are doing. I work with.
Entry into the Monk mode means in the most fundamental to commit to a deep work or work that focuses exclusively on a task without trying to make multitasking, and without allowances for distractions such as social media. Deep work Is a concept that I discussed here before, so how does the Monk mode differ? Well, first of all, it has a catchy name and is well suited for the viral tictok economy, but secondly it is different if you make it is different. Some creators say “Monk mode” to mean only deep work to identify moments of the day when they switch off their notifications, struggle up and concentrate on a task. However, others, Take it to another levelcommit to Weeks or months Among other things, this can include that constantly restrict their access to social media, do not drink alcohol or smoke weeds, do not consume, meditate or read or avoid a number of time in the content of adults.
There is clearly a significant difference between the obligation at a blocked time uninterrupted work on a certain task and a 60 or 90-day striving to free your entire life from everything that could be a distraction. There is a happy medium: You can commit to reach the same working time block every day for a defined number of days. In fact, so many people said they had done it in the time before the TikTok. If you want to start a habit or achieve a goal – you would like to go to the gym or found a company – block a certain time every day, and set the goal of working day at this time, and do it for 90 days. This is a monk fashion approach that is not about giving up half of the activities in your life-and he offers a solid starting point for this whole endeavor.
What you should consider in the Monk mode
The more you watch these videos, the more you walk into the manosphere territory, with Tikkoks containing Jacked Dudes, who claim to tell them how to “escape the matrix”. It is a huge business and you shouldn’t feel bad if you don’t cut out social media, see your friends or drink your morning coffee just to appease a stranger who would actually lose your living if you act Stop on social media and probably put on the farm assuming that you don’t.
It is a good thing to reset your goals and to commit yourself for continued deep work, but it is sustainable for you and actually makes sense. The monk mode can really be so simple that you wake up an hour earlier every day and this bonus lesson for the work that is not out of date is used in your passion project before immersing yourself in your 9-to-5 company become. If you want to cut out weeds or clubs or what behaviors or habits you think you hold back, take it, but take your time to think about what problems or obstacles you are before you get something out of your Eliminate life based on the advice of a man on Tiktok. Personally, if I do my own version of what we now call the Monk mode, I do not focus on the “bad” things that I can get rid of, but on the “good” things I can add, can. Then structure my three -month plan to achieve the goal of committed yourself sincerely and routinely with these good things.
As I said, I knew some monks. If there is one thing I know about them, it is that they are not miserable or actively try to punish themselves. They focus on their responsibility because it is the right one and leads to greater fulfillment. Try to start there. Oh, and don’t bother your phone.
