How a 2nd detailed thread about passwords (long version) links to the topic of "time management" , micro management trying to balance meditation

in this previous thread I uploaded [https://forum.gettingthingsdone.com...-originating-from-daniel-f.18689/#post-145903]
I will try to upload edit in ASAP afterwards a longer version (which is a bit more off topic - where basically share more in real life about how I came into contact with this person called Daniel F, an author of a chelation book he wrote , how I relate to him and how it applies to GTD etc.
' and I feel it makes sense to upload it up to "public: Discuss tools & software for GTD" section because I am writing about types of tools to be used about this topic of manging passwords , or actually , that in the end I also feel the best solution to these two threads - was mainly to use one type of digital software for manging passwords.
It makes sense to include the entire original e-mail writing.
Is my first e-mail:
"

"Hello Danny
by conscience(typo) I quickly saw and read your emails sent me toady when first received them
I quickly download this app you sent me (while not in the right mood/zone - I could just download it again on second phone...
The app looked very professional after the first introduction I listened to and then clicked off. I see that it had alan watts in it, that is person I am interested in
Where did you hear about this app from? Why did you think of me to send me this recommendation
"I was having thoughts (which might not make any sense to you) asking you stuff like: (related to paranoia/nervousness?)
Do you have any recommendations for a system of keeping passwords use for technological devices?
For keeping track of banking?
One of my thoughts was this: I created a type of account on Facebook where I am going to copy and paste everything I use my laptop for (like sending this email for example).
Why? Because of how I feel?
Where I have symptoms of lead toxicity so my concentration is crap, short term memory * * "
to an e-mail he sent me titled "Wake up!"
"
Yo Tim

To continue from the last email, I have indeed been doing some research for you. I found you the perfect thing you need for your quest to be more spiritual, your quest to be able to stop worrying, to be more decisive, to be calmer, happier and more awesome than you already are! Oh yeah!

So it’s an app called “Wake Up”. It is a meditation app. It has a whole heap of different meditation programs to try out. And it has a load of talks, podcasts, lectures all about meditations covering loads of different angles. I have used it a bit, but I’m a bit advanced and don’t really need things like this anymore. But it’s perfect for those just starting out on their own spiritual quests!
It’s quite big, I mean there are loads of meditations, of all different lengths, and a lot of content, talks, articles from some pretty knowledgeable meditation people. I was quite impressed. I hope you like it. I immediately thought of you when I had a look about the app.
You get 7 days free at first…so don’t even start it until you are in the right mood/zone to give it a try.
All the best
Danny
"
Where - he basically recommending myself a type of meditation app to try, to help myself.
He wrote a second reply to my above writing (where I asked the question about "passwords" ,if he uses a system - and he replied back to me his detailed password system he would use":

"
Tim, hi again:-)
I heard about the 'Wake Up' app from a friend that I met on the 10 day vipassana meditation retreat I did in December. Afterwards about 40 people formed a WhatsApp group to help each other continue to meditate daily. One of the ladies, Maxime, told me about the app. Said she loved it and I should give it a try. I did try it but honestly I’m a bit advanced for it. I have been meditating for over 20 years now and I’ve ready many books about it too. But I immediately thought of you and your desire to become more spiritual, and so I sent it to you. I thought it would be perfect for you. Lots of details and meditations and talks from nice wise people.
You can ask me anything about paranoia or nervousness. I have experienced them all, but not anymore. I am a very decisive and confident person, but I wasn’t always.
Do you have any recommendations for a system of keeping passwords use for technological devices?
For keeping track of banking?
I have a system for passwords. I have a base word, plus a number thats always the same, then I add in the name of the company involved at the end.
For example assume my base word is : Superbanana
Base number 7
Company name: amazon

Therefore password for amazon is : Superbanana7amazon
If was my bank it would be : Superbanana7santander
If was Argos it would be: Superbanana7argos
Note: one of the letters needs to be a capital letter, so I just use the first S as my capital letter.
Note: sometime they need a special character too: so I add # at the end.
There are various apps on iPhone and my laptop, but I generally use my system as it’s easily rememberable.
Any variation of the above will be fine: just remember your base number word or words.
Superbanana is not my base word:-))))
I used to have terrible short term memory issues, thats why I kept a journal.You can do the same. Make if public if you wish, or private just for you. I still kept my journey and write it almost daily. It massively helps me keep track of what’s going on. I encourage a journal of some type. Certainly a private for you only as a minimum. Then you can write anything you like and don’t have to worry about typos, spelling or what anyone thinks.
All the best buddy, hope you are having a better start to the year than me.
I then sent reply E-mail

*see you answer my question about passwords (I was writing that topic slightly randomly
*I actually made a public post about passwords/expansion drive technology and I got a type of facebook friend give me recommendation to help me organize
"I have a system for passwords. I have a base word, plus a number thats always the same, then I add in the name of the company involved at the end. " Never herd of this system up to now? I will start using it for simple passwords now ? Thanks for the tip"
Where he then replied OK

——ok.

"I have a system for passwords. I have a base word, plus a number thats always the same, then I add in the name of the company involved at the end. " Never herd of this system up to now? I will start using it for simple passwords now ? Thanks for the tip
 
"First thread post continued (cos website says I went over 1000 character limit )

"*I actually made a public post about passwords/expansion drive technology and I got a type of facebook friend give me recommendation to help me organize" - I believe what I was referencing he was previously using a management system such as keepass (which where - it actually looks like myself from writing these two threads seems to be the solution to the problem).
So things to add - from this e-mail writing - would be about the type of meditation app recommendation he gave myself - which links to the topic of "time management" which I should include in the title of this thread.
-a point is that I feel that GTD resources, such as the book by allen - doesn't write talk much about actual topics such as spirituality doing meditation or deep breathing for example (on a daily basis as a routine) in addition to a GTD schedule.
and it makes me t
hink literally that this is a whole another thread topic for discussion (about how do we best micro-manage our lives literally, no joke (and in this discussion I should write examples facts of what I might do myself, try to look for a scientific answer - is there some kind of ultimate set answer to the question - what is the best 'meditation' schedule (which seems to be a certain barrier, the daily transition to doing types of activities such as mind sweeps, checklists, reviews etc "that would be a great post idea Tim - to try to see if any other users on this fourm would be able to give type literal meditation spiritual study suggestions, after myself Tim have words in head that I feel like I want to change my normal religious practice of the Aetherius society "and include hyper link here: https://www.aetherius.org/ or hyperlink doesn't work) , where myself Tim have words (with symptoms of schizophrenia - that I feel like my mood is the worse at certain times, I want to follow some type of app or instruction that would give me more satisfaction ? - myself personally would imagine that different users on this fourm , might totally fluctuate or be different in what type of Self-Care" or "self-help" type spiritual development activities they do - for example i might think to myself users such as @René Lie might not do any type of deep breathing ? "
or on the contrast - there a persons On earth yogis , or monks who are - refrain from using technology and are not being benefit from @DavidAllen s advice "
So we should seek balance - is the answer
* back now - was explain other thing about how daniel F links to chelation P
Basically the persons Daniel F was author of [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mercury-Diaries-Author-Forsyth-Oct-2012/dp/B00L6Z6JOO] type book, I just checked now and - the net says that his website was taken down
erm And daniel - wrote that book (trying to complete chelation, follow Andy cutlers chelation protocol, which he did, he was able to get to the higher end doses)
and that's what I need to do says voice

why didn't thread post here if did in other - " can
 
I can confirm to you that I don't do any deep breathing, medation, yoga or anything like that...
" do you do any time (type of) self help lifestyle activities such as: pranayama mantra or deep breathing true yoga - I wonder?

or any other self help lifestyle activities? "

erm myself tim for a while almost religiously done type pranayama for 1 hr rounded , rounded to recently half hour everyday ? on top of other things

erm - and start to have words that im not sure its worth it

and - suppose help lung health
and also emotional health - but example yourself Rene - you don't do it and you will still get emotional - you understand? STN "

Nope, not any of that...

What gets me emotional is more in the lines of relationship with other people (I have a wonderful wife and two great boys), and also the right kind music and lyrics...
 
Nope, not any of that...
Idea

I recommend to you [https://www.facebook.com/groups/awakeningthroughkingyoga]
or mark T - said that spiritual practice brings the most satisfaction to human life

its what enables you to "transcend " from the human form
erm

should I share other things - such as teh litearl abilities which certain practices bring
physic abilities

Why wouldn't you want to learn power ful things - such as getting spiritual powers, transcending and so forth?

"with great power comes great responsibility "

Well, I am an educated musician, so music has always been a big part of my life.

The things you mention just don't appeal to me, that's all...
 
'I feel like i need Study

oh right
music is suppose to release dopamine in your brain
as you age - less dopamine gets produced by your body '

had some background thought - with certain types of disorders like Autism is less dopamine produced? I wonder "

S

or is that the reason why I don't like music?
