Johannes C. Mayer's Shortform

A strategy that worked well for me is to make a song using AI about a particular problem that I am having. Here is a WIP song about how going to bed on time is good. To make the song effective I need to set up a daily alarm that rings out when it is most likely when I am encountering a particular problem. For example, e.g. when I think it's a good time to go to bed or take a reflective walk.

Here is a playlist of songs I made.

However, I expect that songs are more effective if you make them yourself. It's quite easy, you just need to provide the lyrics. As long as you make them rime a bit Suno does a pretty good job at making it sound good (at least in my opinion).

I am using Suno. You get a couple of credits every day for free, though I make many generations to create a single song. So in practice, it isn't enough if you are making longer songs. If your songs are 30-60s the free credits are enough to make something good.

even when the part of the earth you're on is not facing the sun? (emrik uses a tri-phasic sleep schedule) also, this^ comment gives me an idea to start a sleep schedule where i try to wake up only at night. (alas the asymmetry between light and dark, preventing a point on the earth from being pitch black for 12 hours per rotation)

side-note, but i think we'd be better off if the proportions of rationalists had more beings with an emrik-like mentality, and maybe this will be pleasing to read or something.

Not using your PC, looking in the mirror, and trying to wake up instantly where most interesting.
