Day 47 - The 1-Minute Module Debate
[Post for yesterday]
Just saw this thread on the Integral Naked forum discussing reactions to the kit, and it seems, among other things, the 1-Minute Modules are a polarizing element. Here's user crystallake2:
Exactly, but at least it's something. I hope that once he starts adding 1MMs to his schedule, crystallake2 will discover for himself how the "power law" works, where 80% of one's growth is enacted by 20% of one's activities. In my own case, I'm found that even just doing one set of a strength exercise (push-ups, Hindu squats, etc) to exhaustion per day already carries enormous benefits. For Shadow, even just remembering to journal for a few minutes a day or a week is enough to clear out some undigested psychological "meat" from my ontological colon.
Thankfully, I think adastra understands the principle at work:
Personally, I'm hoping we can hone these things down into even smaller, ultrapowerful 1-Second Modules. When your full ILP takes about 8 seconds, that leaves a lot more time for the Vice Module, am I right?
;)

I got mine. Haven't had time to get into it, I'm working. That's the bloody problem, no time for ILP. I'll have to do the 1 minute workouts. You're trying to tell me that 1 minute is really going to do that much? I don't want to be sceptical, but if you are training to be an athlete or to play the piano for example, 1 minute a day will do it? Wilber got where he was after years of day long, week long, month long full blown processes. This 1 minute thing is a small beginning...that's all.

The one-minute module idea seems brilliant to me, because it can get people incorporating ILP practices in bits and pieces throughout their day. Any bit will help; and by doing it that way it seems more likely to become a habit which can be expanded later or at various times. Conversely, if the line was: spend 1-2 hours every day on your ILP or don't even bother, then most people would soon drop it.

1 Second modules! that's effecient in my book.
I've started coming around to this idea of 1 minute modules. I was resistent at first because a minute module alone won't necessarily bring results, BUT it certainly can lead to them. I haven't worked out this semester and have realized that while I've been doing jack shit waiting for "enough time" you and Buff Duff have been busting out push ups. So, who's been getting the benefits here? Not me.
Rock on with the one-minute modules.

For me, short practice isn't about optimising results, it's about sneaking past my Pusher who doesn't want me to sit for an hour! He wants me to hit the laptop first thing and not let go until I fall asleep. So short practices (1 minute, 5 minute, 15 minute) are short enough that the Pusher can't really object... then over time, the benefit of the practice starts to manifest and I find myself craving more practice time. Then Mr Pusher-man got chance once I got a graving going...
