E con questo ho finito il diario di viaggio per ora, perché sono alla fermata del 1969 e ne avrò ancora per qualche settimana prima di vedere tutto quanto voglio vedere. Poi metterò nero su bianco. Alla prossima!
1965
Prima di dare una rapida scorsa a quest’anno con qualcuno dei film che ho amato di più mi piace fare anche qualche altra segnalazione: tra le mini-serie è nota quella con Juliette Greco: “Belfagor”, che è un mystery molto lento per i nostri gusti, ma l’ho finito lo stesso tutto perché mi piaceva. Parte quest’anno la felicissima serie di “Giochi senza Frontiere”, che per una ventina d’anni fu uno degli appuntamenti più amati dei telespettatori italiani. In tv vanno ancora i fantasy come “Strega per amore”, con Larry Hagman prima di far soldi col petrolio. Esordisce Sally Field nel telefilm “Gidget”, aveva 15 anni.
Passiamo ai film allora, ma devo lasciare da parte Zivago, Connery, Dentone, Giuletta degli Spiriti, Michael Caine, Leone, Burton, Carrà e Julie Andrews. Ahimé.
“Repulsion” di Polanski è una delle più belle prove di Catherine Deneuve, che più guardo i suoi film più entra di prepotenza nella classifica delle mie attrici preferite. La Deneuve qui è una ragazza che ha qualche problema: è ossessiva, soffre di disturbi psichiatrici, ha delle allucinazioni. Il suo status peggiora una sera che resta da sola a casa. Nessuno si accorge veramente di quanto soffra e la ragazza peggiora sempre di più, con risvolti drammatici. Dico solo che la scena della crepa nel muro è fenomenale.
“Io la conoscevo bene” di Pietrangeli, è un film con Stefania Sandrelli e Mario Adorf. La Sandrelli ha avuto tipo tre carriere: quella di giovane star italiana, quella post-Brass e quella di attrice di esperienza che sta vivendo adesso. Il suo sguardo timido e dimesso di questo film ha molto in comune con quello della Cardinale prima maniera. La Sandrelli vede infrangersi sul selciato le sue speranze di diventare una star del cinema perché gli uomini che le girano intorno la sfruttano e la illudono. Tra questi c’è Adorf, che è un attore che mi piace un sacco. Un genitore tedesco e uno italiano, Adorf si è mosso senza problemi da un set all’altro mostrando enorme versatilità: lo trovi nelle commedie italiane anni ’60 e lo trovi nei film tv tedeschi alla Derrick, per lui nessun problema.
“La vita corre sul filo” di Pollack, con Poitier e Bancroft è un thriller che si svolge nello sguardo di Sidney Poiter e nell’ansia di aiutare una donna che dall’altro lato di un telefono amico segnala la sua volontà di suicidarsi. Poiter non è esperto, ma è di turno, e ormai ha preso in carico il caso. Tutto quello che deve fare è trattenere la Bancroft a lungo, molto a lungo, affinché possano rintracciare la chiamata e impedire il suo gesto. Questo film è interessante perché non c’è mai nessuna allusione al colore della pelle di Poitier, non è rilevante per il plot.
“Rapimento” di John Guillermin con Patricia Gozzi, Dean Stockwell e Melvyn Douglas. La Gozzi l’ho citata già in un film con Hardy Kruger. A me questa attrice piace molto, è davvero intensa e drammatica. Qui veramente siamo in un contesto di puro e assoluto squallore, perché la Gozzi vive una vita solitaria in un luogo isolato col padre Melvyn Douglas. Un giorno arriva nei dintorni un evaso, e la Gozzi fa amicizia con lui. Lei ha bisogno di vivere, mentre il padre vorrebbe tenerla in casa e buttare la chiave. È uno di quei film che sembra che fuori sia autunno e che piova anche se è mezzogiorno di una giornata di maggio.
“La decima vittima” di Elio Petri, vede Mastroianni e Andress in un futuro imprecisato darsi la caccia a vicenda. C’è una specie di reality show in giro in cui ci sono i cacciatori e le prede. I cacciatori devono uccidere 10 prede, e le prede devono sfuggire loro. Non si può mai sapere i gusti della gente. Questo futuro ha comunque i colori degli anni ’60, lo stile e la criniera di Ursula Andress che guarda caso è una delle più brave cacciatrici. Deve far fuori Mastroianni, ma prima vuole un po’ giocare al gatto e al topo.
“Bunny Lake è scomparsa” di Otto Preminger, è un cupo thriller con Keir Dullea, Carol Lynley e Laurence Olivier. A dire il vero Olivier ha una parte molto marginale, fondamentalmente è il film della Lynley e di Dullea. Per chi non avesse dimestichezza con questi volti, la Lynley fu attiva a cavallo tra i ’60 e il ’70 ed è una delle vittime del Poseidon, mentre Dullea è la star di 2001 Odissea nello spazio ed è un attore che si è sempre fatto i fatti suoi, non è mai diventato star di prima categoria, ma si è scelto delle parti interessanti come questa qui. Insomma Dullea è il fratello di Lynley, e non si trova la bambina di lei. L’hanno portata a scuola, ma nessuna l’ha vista, le maestre non l’hanno vista, le amiche nemmeno. Questa bimba non esiste. La Lynley se la sarà immaginata? Lei è certa di avere una bimba, è certa, esiste!
“Il collezionista” è uno dei film meno noti di William Wyler, con Terence Stamp e Samantha Eggar. Stamp, di lui non c’è mai da fidarsi. Ha deciso che invece di collezionare farfalle gli piace collezionare ragazze, e un giorno cattura la Eggar e la chiude nel suo scantinato. Lui non ha fatto niente di male, la Eggar viene trattata coi guanti, ha da mangiare, ha di che svagarsi, ha tutto, basta solo che sia felice di essere reclusa a vita da un pazzo e che non provi mai a scappare, che ci vuole?
1966
Eccoci al ’66, che bello quest’anno di cinema, bello! Qualche riga su altri generi e poi passo ai film che mi vien voglia di ricordare.
“Qolga” è un corto che ho trovato in youtube del regista Kobakhidze. Si tratta di un ragazzo che vive da solo lungo i binari del treno e ha un’amica che ogni tanto lo va a trovare. All’improvviso un ombrello prende vita e inizia a volare da solo. In quest’anno parte la serie “Tre nipoti e un maggiordomo”, con Brian Keith e 3 baby star, ciascuno con la sua dose di sfortuna personale. Questa serie ha i colori e le moquette giuste per immergersi negli anni ’60. Ovviamente questo è l’anno di “Star Trek”, di “Batman” e “Mission impossibile”. Si tratta di tre serie di culto che tutti ovviamente ben conoscono. Tra i rari film tv di buon livello degli anni ’60 c’è uno di Rossellini: “La presa del potere da parte di Luigi XIV” che è anche uno dei film preferiti del padre da parte di Isabella. Poi esce la famosa versione animata del Grinch che ruba il Natale.
“Chi ha paura di Virginia Woolf?” è il film che regala a Liz Taylor il suo secondo oscar. Ci sono solo 4 personaggi (vabbé 6 c’è una scena al bar) che sarebbero Liz Taylor e il marito Burton, George Segal e Sandy Dennis. Sono uno più bravo dell’altro. Nel film sono due coppie, una che sta insieme da un po’ e l’altra di recente formazione. Burton e Taylor hanno un passato difficile da superare, ma tirano avanti. La loro casa è lo specchio della loro persona, è piena di cose ingombranti e fuori posto, e tra i due ci sono frecciatine ogni secondo, qualcuna passa inosservata e qualcuna fa assai male. I due sposini sono praticamente scioccati. La scena cult per me è quando Liz Taylor dichiara al marito che pur con tutti i suoi difetti non è comunque un mostro. Sandy Dennis pure brava assai è una delle attrici dimenticate di fine anni ’60.
“Persona” è un film di Bergman in cui ci sono due donne, Bibi Andersson e Liv Ullmann. La Ullmann è muta e la Andersson è la sua infermiera. La Andersson parla parla e la Ullmann ascolta e ascolta. Il legame tra le due è forte e particolare. Si vedono sempre più spesso e la Ullmann sembra migliorare, mentre la Andersson mostra una certa inquietudine. Parla, ma a se stessa, e la Ullman risponde anche senza dire niente. Lentamente i loro volti cominciano a somigliarsi sempre di più, e la voce di Bibi diventa la voce di Liv. Non c’è più distinzione tra le due, sono diventate una persona sola. Si stanno fondendo. Ma non è mica possibile una cosa simile.
“La nera di…” è un film di Ousmane Sembene, cioè uno dei primi e rari film di autori africani. La storia è molto semplice, c’è una ragazza senegalese che va a servizio in una casa di una coppia francese. Lontana dalla famiglia la ragazza ha il suo lettino, le sue riviste, le sue scarpe, le sue sensazioni, ma la coppia presso cui lavora la considera come il vaso a centro tavola o il quadretto appeso accanto alla porta. Le giornate passano e la ragazza si spegne poco a poco. Tutto qua, ma provate a vedere lo stesso se è tutto qua.
“Incompreso” è il drammone strappalacrime di Comencini con Anthony Quayle che diventa vedovo e non si accorge della sofferenza del primogenito, che si sacrifica per il bene del fratello minore viziato dal papà. Non che Quayle sia cattivo, per carità, è solo che non se ne accorge. Il ragazzino gli vuole bene lo stesso e un giorno un ramo fa crac e lui si fa male. Madonna quanto si piange con questo film, cioè è impossibile, nel senso che è non-possibile non commuoversi quando papà e figlio si parlano finalmente a cuore aperto. L’attore protagonista ha recitato solo questo film, oggi è un medico, è stato bravissimo con almeno 4 esse.
“La caccia” di Carlos Saura è un film in cui ci sono alcuni amici che vanno a caccia di conigli. Fa troppo caldo. Dovrebbero dar retta ai conigli, ma invece si mettono a ricordare il passato e non so chi glielo fa fare, perché da quel momento nessuno più è al sicuro, e si danno la caccia a vicenda. Vediamo chi ci resta secco.
Davvero c’è tanto in quest’anno: Manfredi e Adorf alle prese con San Gennaro, le solitudini dell’uomo e la donna di Lelouch, i russi che sbarcano negli USA e Fahrenheit 451 di Truffaut. Poi Polanski gira Cul de Sac con la sorella della Deneuve, Eastwood non manca un colpo e le foto di Antonioni di Blow-up dove le mettiamo? Mi sono divertito un sacco con la partita di poker di “Posta grossa a Dodge city”, e l’asinello Balthazar di Bresson è uno dei finali più drammatici della storia, non pensavo che avrei retto tutta la visione di “Andrej Rublev”, e invece sì, e poi c’è il realismo mai visto della “Battaglia di Algeri”. E potrei anche continuare. Uno dei miei anni preferiti insomma.
1967
Siccome col 1966 ho preso per le lunghe, volevo sintetizzare col 1967, ma pure qui c’è un sacco di bei film. C’è pure “The big shave” che è uno dei primi lavori di Scorsese. Un uomo si rade e si taglia. Purtroppo per lui, il taglio non è un taglietto, giusto così perché si trova in youtube e dura 5 minuti.
Il mio film preferito di quest’anno è “La calda notte dell’ispettore Tibbs”. Io non l’avrei mai detto, mi dovete credere, ci avrei scommesso nemmeno 2 centesimi perché i polizieschi un po’ mi stufano, e poi i film che parlano di razzismo negli anni ’60 siccome li sto vedendo in sequenza ne ho visto un casino e poi forse il titolo non mi ispira, ma invece sono rimasto attaccato subito dai primi minuti, adoro Steige e Poitier, e quando Poitier schiaffeggia a sorpresa il tizio nella serra vi giuro è una delle scene più intense e belle e vere, ho cliccato su 10 su IMDb e da lì non cambio idea.
Il problema è che ho messo 10 anche a “indovina chi viene a cena?” che ha il dubbio onore di essere il film dagli albori al 1967 che ho visto più volte in vita mia, ne conto con certezza 6. Potrei dire di che colore sono i fiori nei vasi e quanti calzini ha Tracy nell’armadio. In questo film per me funziona tutto, mi manda dei brividi di nostalgia di un’epoca della quale sono un prodotto culturale, sono un GenX nel midollo probabilmente e sarà per quello che questo film non mi stanca mai.
Non ce la faccio a non segnalare almeno il titolo di “A piedi nudi nel parco” e devo dichiarare che anche se il finale di “Riflessi in un occhio d’oro” è qualcosa di davvero particolare, Robert Forster in quel film è di una bellezza sconvolgente. I colori di “Le Samourai” di Melville sono elegantissimi, il film è una goduria per gli occhi. Poi ci sono i filmoni da macho di Lee Marvin tipo “una sporca dozzina” e c’è Paul Newman e Dustin Hoffman, Dirk Bogard fa venire i brividi in “Tutte le sere alle nove” quando torna a prendere possesso della casa coi 7 figli che ha abbandonato e in “La bisbetica domata” la coppia Burton-Taylor funziona anche se mai lo diresti in quell’ambientazione lì.
“Gli occhi della notte” vede Audrey Hepburn nei panni di una cieca che vive al piano terra di una bella casa dove ogni cosa è giusto dove deve essere, ma a quanto pare Alan Arkin è convinto che ci sia anche qualcosa che gli serve per evitare di essere accusato di omicidio. La Hepburn è all’oscuro di tutto (oddio che battuta) ma scema non è, così quando uno strano visitatore si insinua in casa sua con le scuse più formidabili lei inizia a sospettare. È uno dei thriller meglio congegnati mai visti questo qui, e non è nemmeno di Hitchcock! Non avevo mai realizzato quanto siano importanti le lampadine nel frigorifero.
“New York: ore tre- L’ora dei vigliacchi”, questo titolo mi fa cagare però il film è bello. C’è la gente che prende la metro per tornare a casa, però è tardi e due grandissimi stronzi e cioè Tony Musante e Martin Sheen hanno voglia di divertirsi a modo loro, così entrano nella metro e iniziano a infastidire uno dopo l’altro tutti i passeggeri. C’è una quantità di arroganza, prepotenza e violenza gratuita in questo film che davvero la mascella si spacca dalla rabbia repressa che ti suscita. Si vede che il film funziona. È quando tu stai per fatti tuoi e questi ti devono bullizzare e non solo: la gente non alza 1 dito per aiutarti! Veramente, questo film è fatto bene. Per non parlare dei poliziotti che appena riescono a entrare nel vagone con chi se la vanno a prendere? No quello proprio non l’ho potuto soffrire! Bel film.
“L’armata a cavallo” di Miklos Jancso è un film che fa venire il mal di testa. Siamo in guerra, è la guerra civile russa, ma non è importante, potrebbe essere una qualsiasi guerra. Qui non riusciamo a prendere posizione, la guerra fa schifo non importa di quale fazione tu sia. 10 minuti di film con gli occhi di una fazione e i loro progressi e le loro vittime, nemmeno fai in tempo a riconoscere i volti di queste persone che vengono fatte fuori dagli avversari, e Jancso ti trascina altri 10 minuti dalla loro parte, ti fa vedere i loro progressi e le loro vittime, i loro villaggi desolati e le torture. Ci rimani male, ma ecco che si passa all’altro punto di vista. E’ un film intelligente ed elegante.
C’è ancora lo choc incredibile di “Gangster Story” con il picco di bellezza di Faye Dunaway e il sangue che esplode sulla bianca pelle di Bonnie e Clyde, così come bianca immacolata è la schiena di Catherine Deneuve, perfetta protagonista di “Bella di giorno” di Bunuel, altro film simbolo dell’epoca, un’epoca in cui andavano i film di sexploitation tipo “Vixen” e roba del genere, pieni di tette e recitazione di serie b, ma che entravano a pieno nella cultura di fine decennio, che si sta avvicinando a quel ’68 di cui tanto spesso abbiamo sentito parlare come di una sorta di spartiacque culturale.
Per finire, è intelligente e complesso il volto di Bekim Fehmiu in “Protest” di Fadil Hadzic, ma che le h e le z non ingannino, il film si vede e si capisce perché parla di un’insoddisfazione che non ha bisogno di vocabolario. Poi c’è il cult camp “la valle delle bambole” con la sfortunata Sharon Tate, gli occhi penetranti della Mangano in “Edipo Re”, centomila spaghetti western, è l’altro drammone di Bresson “Mouchette”, con protagonista una ragazza che racchiude in sé tutto il bullismo subito da tutti gli adolescenti della storia della Pubblica Istruzione, veramente solo chi ha il cuore di pietra non si commuove con questa ragazza qui.
1968
Non mi pare vero che sto scrivendo del 1968 perché è l’ultimo anno che ho finito di vedere e anche se questa carrellata non vale poi molto almeno l’ho portata a termine, il che per me vale molto.
Prima di iniziare una piccola deviazione: in quest’anno c’è l’esordio di Spielberg, col corto “Amblin’” da cui quindi deriva la sua casa di produzione che è la Amblin Enterteinment! Altro corto è lo sperimentale “Hermitage”, di Carmelo Bene. Tra le mini-serie esce quest’anno l’Odissea di Franco Rossi. Fu un clamoroso successo riproposto dalla tv nostrana per vent’anni. Il ritmo è lento, ma i volti di Bekim Fehmiu e quello di Irene Papas sono senza tempo. Grandissimo l’episodio con Polifemo e ovviamente il finale coi Proci. Prima di diventare nota come cantante e presentatrice, Loretta Goggi era una precocissima attrice e la “Freccia Nera” fu uno dei suoi più noti successi.
Ok, allora andiamo veloci veloci, con lo stiloso “Diabolik” che era il bel John Phillip Law; le torture che patisce Alan Bates nell”’uomo di Kiev” pochi altri nella storia; Sordi è medico nella muta e Franco Nero aveva gli occhi più celesti mai visti. Sellers fa pisciar sotto anche le statue in “Hollywood Party” mentre la Vitti prende in mano la pistola e si colloca nella sua dimensione comica dopo anni di Antonioni. Rod Steiger è un gay represso ne “il sergente”, mentre Terence Stamp non fa preferenze di sesso in “Teorema” di Pasolini.
Steve McQueen è l’essere più figo mai apparso sulla terra in “Bullitt” e “Il caso Thomas Crown” ma nemmeno Clint Eeastwood scherza e voglio vedere chi scampa a un impiccagione come in “impiccalo più in alto” e chi è scazzato come lui in “L’uomo dalla cravatta di cuoio”.
“Fuoco!” di Gian Vittorio Baldi è la sorpresina nell’ovetto Kinder del 1968. Siamo in un paesello del sud Italia e un tizio spara alla statua della Madonna durante una processione, poi si barrica in casa, con la moglie e il bambino che se la fanno sotto, e col fucile in mano si rifiuta di uscire e di dare spiegazioni. Poche parole, un set poverissimo, nemmeno tante spiegazioni ma per 1 ora e mezza sei nella casa e forse nella testa di questo ragazzo. Bellissimo film!
“La sposa in nero” di Truffaut è la storia della vedova nera Jeanne Moreau (quanto mi è piaciuto questo film) che si era sposata da 5 secondi che le ammazzano il marito sulle scale della chiesa. Pensa prima di buttarsi dalla finestra poi decide che invece le conviene dare la caccia ai killer del marito. La curva della bocca della Moreau è perfetta per questa parte e vi assicuro che il modo in cui si ingegna per far fuori quei quattro è incredibile. Purtroppo questo film mi fa anche venire in mente la storia di Marta Russo ma lasciamo perdere.
“L’urlo del silenzio” è il film che Alan Arkin per me prima valeva 6, 6 e mezzo mentre adesso invece sotto il 9 non scende. Arkin è un sordo muto ed è così solo, ma così solo, che lui il lockdown ce l’ha di default. Mi fa venire la forchetta in gola. Comunque sia affitta una camera in una casa con una famiglia sgangherata ma tutto sommato ok, e fa amicizia con Sondra Locke. Ma nemmeno lei è il vaccino che può curare la sua solitudine. Malinconia a quintalate.
“Duello nel Pacifico” di John Boorman ci sono 2 persone solamente e cioè Lee Marvin e Toshiro Mifune. Sono in guerra e sono da soli in un’isola sperduta. Ognuno dei due vuole far fuori quell’altro, ma alla fine prevale la voglia di sopravvivere, chissenefrega se devo chiedere aiuto al nemico. Il finale di questo film, io sottoscritto dichiaro che David Lynch l’ha visto e gli è piaciuto.
E ora acceleriamo su quel pacco gigante pieno di innovazione che è “La notte dei morti viventi”, sul sudore e il calore di “C’era una volta il west”, il mio Leone preferito, sull’indelebile statua della libertà del “Pianeta delle Scimmie”, sui brividi che fanno venire lo sguardo di Sidney Blackmer e i sorrisi di Ruth Gordon in “Rosemary’s baby”, uno dei film che più mi ha fatto cagare sotto in vita mia, per dire due righe in più su “Kuroneko” di Kaneto Shindo, che è la storia di una vendetta operata da due donne vittime di stupro e poi uccise da una gang di samurai. Le due diventano dei fantasmi e uno dopo l’altro, in un’atmosfera onirica e agghiacciante conducono i samurai nel loro nascondiglio per farli fuori senza pietà alcuna. Un film con le palle.
Mi rimangono 2 film, il primo è “2001: odissea nello spazio” e io ho paura a parlare di Kubrick perché su Kubrick tutti hanno un’opinione e sanno argomentare meglio di me, così mi limito a dire che questo film l’ho visto come quando giochi agli incremental e fai prestige. La prima volta 15 minuti, la seconda volta ho retto 30 minuti, la terza volta 1 ora e la quarta volta finalmente avevo le skill giuste e ho goduto da pazzi.
Il mio film preferito del 1968 è “The Swimmer” di Frank Perry e Sydney Pollack, con Burt Lancaster. Lancaster si mantiene bene anche se ha già i suoi anni sulle spalle, e un giorno compare nella villa di amici, si fa una vasca in piscina e poi dichiara che se ne torna a casa a nuoto, passando da piscina in piscina, di villa in villa, lungo tutta la vallata. Armato solo del suo costume, si incammina verso la seconda piscina: una vasca e due chiacchiere coi padroni. Le persone che vede sono inizialmente cordiali e felici di parlare con lui, ma a ogni villa qualcosa non sembra andare per il verso giusto: c’è chi sbruffa, chi gli rinfaccia qualcosa, chi esplicitamente lo manda a quel paese. Lancaster stesso perde lo slancio e un po’ il sorriso. Se a un certo punto si sentiva così bene da poter reggere il confronto con un cavallo, improvvisamente si fa male e inizia a zoppicare. La villa successiva pare più lontana, e più ostile. Ad ogni villa scopriamo un pezzo della vita di quest’uomo, e lui con noi. Non possiamo sentire l’acqua sulla pelle, ma ti monta l’ansia. Lancaster pare invecchiato, i suoi piedi sono sporchi, i suoi occhi lucidi, le sue labbra sofferenti. Un’altra villa, e pare trascinarsi, e una piscina ancora, e nuota a fatica, e finalmente casa.
Non ho dormito la notte perché non volevo fare il mio sogno ricorrente in cui sogno di partire dalla mia casa di bimbo per arrivare alla mia casa attuale, e parto di corsa per poi andare piano, sempre più piano, per poi trascinarmi, fino a che non vedo la porta in lontananza, e non riesco ad aprirla, mai.

I should mention up front that this is by no means the card that I predict with accuracy nor is this what I believe AEW should do in the short and long term. All this is is a fantasy booking card that I would like to see based on the small build thus far and how I would go about booking this show if it were left up to me. Mostly, I just tend to get extremely excited about future events and enjoy fantasy booking in general, though this will be the first time I have ever published something like this on a public forum. Obviously Khan and the talent have a much clearer vision than I do, and no matter what they decide to do here, it will almost certainly be better than mine. I’m probably wrong here, but at least I had a lot of fun doing it.
Having said that, here’s my card in reverse order:
1) MJF def. Jon Moxley (c) to win the AEW World Championship
This feels like exactly the right time and the right person to take the title from Moxley. MJF has been positioning himself as a star of the company, would make a good face for the company, has almost perfect abilities with the mic, and can actually wrestle while putting on a good show. Not to mention the fact that he has a perfect reason for a rematch: Jon Moxley cheated by using the Paradigm Shift at All Out. MJF has no shortage of future contenders (as I’ll get to later) and can be a high end attraction for AEW’s future events.
MJF could win this match cleanly if he could (he can almost certainly out-wrestle Moxley), but if they’re worried about hurting Moxley by losing, MJF could win with a little help from his future friends from the Inner Circle.
2) Thunder Rosa def. Hikaru Shida (c) and Dr. Britt Baker to win the AEW Women’s World Championship
This was a weird one to come up with mainly because of the lack of exposure the Women’s division is receiving as well as the lack of talent depth. In recent weeks they have been pushing Britt Baker despite losing to Big Swole (who has been absent), so this match and result is what makes the most sense to me. I understand that Thunder Rosa is contracted with NWA and the company may be hesitant to put the title on her, but hear me out:
Thunder Rosa gets over huge and out of every woman on the roster, seems to be most poised to take the title. If for whatever reason (travel, contractual obligations, etc…) she cannot defend the title at Revolution 2021, she would be forced to relinquish the title, setting up a match for the vacant title come next show.
So my plan would be to have Thunder Rosa pin Britt Baker to win the championship, thus protecting Hikaru Shida in case the title needs to be vacated. After Thunder Rosa wins the title, Big Swole comes out and lays waste to the three already exhausted women, cutting a promo on how she beat Britt Baker and should have been the only contender for this title.
This would set up a program between Thunder Rosa vs Big Swole in 2021 or Hikaru Shida vs Big Swole if the title needs to be vacated.
It would behoove AEW to invest further into a deeper Women’s roster and give these women more time to shine on a weekly basis.
3) FTR (c) def. Best Friends to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship
These two teams just had one of the most brilliant street fights on Dynamite a few weeks ago and this feud does not seem to be over. These two teams are destined to have a great tag team match on PPV and this is the time to do it.
The Young Bucks seem to be positioning for the titles, but right now doesn’t seem to be the time to do it. FTR are new champions and they have really good chemistry and really good athletic abilities capable of turning in a showstopper of a match. FTR need to retain their titles here and the Best Friends are the team to defend against.
I’m going with non-stipulation here because I think these four men can put on a great show without a gimmick.
4) Cody def. Mr. Brodie Lee in a Non-Title Deathmatch
I know these two have a Dog Collar Match coming up next week on Dynamite, but this has been a feud going on for some time and it has reached a boiling point. Much like the Tag Title defense, it would feel like robbery ending such a well put together feud on television. I also realize that “deathmatch” is an extreme word in wrestling circles, but that’s what this feels like. Street Fight, Hardcore Match, No DQ, whatever you want to call it.
Recently in an interview, Cody mentioned that he was planning on talking to Tony Khan about having these types of matches on the program, and depending on how that conversation went, this seems like a great place to start that.
Also, I’m listing this as a non-title match because it would keep the title on Brody for the time being and also because I believe the TV title should be defended exclusively on Dynamite. As a side note, it feels weird with Cody not being able to challenge for the World Championship any time in the future, which is why I think they need to implement an Intercontinental Championship with the same level of prestige that New Japan has that Cody could chase.
5) Kenny Omega def. Lance Archer in the #1 Contender’s Match for the AEW World Championship
It is WAY too soon to pull the trigger on an Omega championship reign, I realize this, but his track record in single’s competitions is so poor that this is the only outcome here that would give him the push Omega needs to eventually become Champion. It’s also not necessarily his fault, either. In a lot of those matches he took the loss to get over Jericho, Pac, and Moxley. It was the right thing to do at the time and led to an incredible tag team run, but now is the time to focus on single’s competitions, and winning this tournament seems to be a good fast track to do it.
I booked his opponent as Lance Archer, mainly because I do not believe he has a chance to beat Moxley at the anniversary show but still feel like he deserves a shot at a big match on PPV, and in my mind, there is no bigger match than facing Kenny Omega in single’s competition as Omega has the innate ability to get his opponent over with the crowd in a loss.
6) Chris Jericho and Jake Hager def. The Young Bucks, SCU, and Private Party in a Four Team Elimination Match to Determine the #1 Contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championship
Probably not going to happen by any stretch of the imagination, but this does a few things: It sets up a Tag Team Championship match for Revolution, it gets The Young Bucks in the show (always a big draw), it gets exposure to SCU and Private Party, and it also cements Jericho/Hager as an official team in the Tag Team Division.
SCU and Private Party would be eliminated first, leaving The Young Bucks and Jericho Hager as the final two teams. There are a number of ways The Young Bucks could take the loss without hurting their rankings for a future title shot. They could get themselves disqualified by the antics they have been displaying on Dynamite or there could be interference from the Inner Circle and/or MJF/Wardlow.
7) Orange Cassidy wins the Casino Battle Royale
I could have gone a number of ways here, but Orange Cassidy was my decision because he is OVER AS HELL with the crowd as a babyface, not to mention the fact that Orange Cassidy and MJF would be a huge television draw for a title match on Dynamite. Cassidy hasn’t been positioned to be a main eventer (yet), and MJF could certainly out-wrestle him, but this would make for a highly entertaining Dynamite main event between Full Gear and Revolution.
8) Lucha Bros and Eddie Kingston def. Jurassic Express and Adam Page
The reason I booked this match here was for two reasons: 1) I think it would be highly entertaining and would get all this talent on the show and 2) It would tell a perfect story of Adam Page being unwilling to accept his destiny as a single’s competitor. In my perfect vision, Page would be severely intoxicated during the match, making mistakes, and ultimately costing his team the win. As Jungle Boy attempts to talk some sense into him, Adam Page stumbles off the set and Kingston rolls him up for the pin.
9) Darby Allin and Will Hobbs def. Ricky Starks and Brian Cage
You guessed it, another well set up feud that does not deserve to end on television. I do not have any particular notes or ideas of how this should go though it does seem destined to have some sort of stipulation attached to it. I am not entirely sure if AEW would pull the trigger on this one, but some sort of variation of this match seems destined to me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Future Main Events:
Revolution 2021: MJF def. Kenny Omega
Still too soon to pull the trigger
Double or Nothing 2021: MJF def. Adam Page
This sets up Page as a contender, but still too soon
All Out 2021: MJF def. Chris Jericho
In my fantasy booking, Jericho and MJF allied themselves during Full Gear (2020), but the way the story is progressing, it seems to be building towards this match.
Full Gear 2021: Kenny Omega def. MJF
A full year, Full Gear to Full Gear. This would seem to be a good point to have Kenny Omega finally crowned as champion.
Revolution 2022: Kenny Omega def. Adam Page
This would be the first match of an ideal trilogy to rival Flair vs Steamboat, Gargano vs Cole, and Omega vs Okada. Maybe it’s too soon here but right now, it feels right. Something would have to happen in this match to set up a rematch for...
Double or Nothing 2022: Kenny Omega def. Adam Page
Match #2 of the trilogy, this time Page gets defeated cleanly and no rematch seems to be on the horizon.
All Out 2022: Kenny Omega def. Kazuchika Okada
I’m just joking here. I’m leaving this blank because it feels like a variable. If Adam Page is going to beat Omega for the title then Omega needs to appear extremely strong, so this title match will be kept open for now depending on new arrivals or who gets pushed.
Full Gear 2022: Kenny Omega def. AJ Styles
Again, just a joke. Same as above, this is kept open for whoever appears to be the strongest contender based on what happens and who gets over in the next year or so.
Revolution 2023: Kenny Omega def. ______________
Same as the last two main events.
Double of Nothing 2023: Adam Page def. Kenny Omega
This is it, the final match of the trilogy where Adam Page is finally crowned as the guy of the company. The story would go something like this: After losing the hypothetical Intercontinental Championship, Adam Page goes on a huge downward spiral and “leaves” the company for a few months only to return at Revolution completely sober and changed where he wins the rights to challenge Kenny Omega one last time and were he to lose this match, he would never challenge for the title again.
Naturally, even when fantasy booking, we can never guarantee match quality, but assuming there are no unfortunate injuries and both talents are in prime shape, this would be the closest to that seven star Omega/Okada match from 2018.
Adam Page wins a nearly one hour contest.
Other Notes

Wardlow wins a Casino Battle Royale to set up a title match on Dynamite with MJF
I feel like there is a need for an Intercontinental Championship to keep Adam Page in the title picture despite not main eventing for a year.
Adam Page has a rather long title reign, but whoever beats him should have to beat Kenny Omega in a #1 Contenders match. Defeating Omega and Page within the span of a few weeks would work great to establish the next face of the company.

I realize that I may be horribly wrong in every single one of these predictions, but I thought it was fun nonetheless and wanted to share them. If anyone thinks this will plan out differently for whatever reason, feel free to message me at any time and we can talk about bookings, AEW, NJPW, or whatever (I'm a fairly amusing guy all things considered). For the time being, I'm going to plug these matches into Fire Pro Wrestling World and watch them all plan out.
Cheers!

Hi! If you clicked this page, maybe you're just a little bit curious about me as a person. And for that I'm flattered, truly.
This is a work in progress, and will be updated over time.
I really went hard on the nerd angle labeling this an SI and I'm pretty unsure how well it'll be received, but I think being in academia has been so defining in my current life I just have to make a reference somehow. A Supplementary/Supporting Information section is something like an Appendix section for scientific journal articles. You'd throw in whatever you still want to feature in your work, but secondary or complimentary to the main point you're trying to get across.
I'm not just writing this for interested parties, but also as a way to put words to my feelings and have something concrete to reference. It's kinda like... wanting to be ready for an interview, and taking notes about all the sorts of things that you might be asked.
So here it is:
To start, a few favorites:

Favorite games: Dota 2, Starcraft/Brood War, Path of Exile, Slay the Spire, Minecraft, Terraria, Fire Emblem series (Tellius games are my favorite), SM64/Galaxy, Tales of Symphonia, Brawl/Melee, and more. I'd love to get a Switch at some point. I also really like to play mahjong!
Favorite shows: Breaking Bad, Avatar the Last Airbender, Community, The Newsroom, Bojack Horseman, Black Mirror, IASIP, House, Archer, The Good Place, White Collar, ..
Favorite movies: Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Matrix, Casino Royale, Hitch (my favorite romcom probably), Parasite, Gladiator, The Prestige, Lion King, Zootopia, Inside Out, Star Wars (prequels included, sequels... eh), A Silent Voice, etc. Overall though I prefer to watch shows more than movies, I like the longer narratives and development. I'm not... good with horror either, haha.
Favorite anime/manga: TTGL, Toradora, Konosuba, Mob Psycho, Samurai Champloo, Monogatari series, Psycho Pass, Aggretsuko, Oyasumi Punpun, Kaguya-sama, Beastars, Dragon Maid, Made in Abyss, K-On!, Haruhi, etc. Wow I really exposed my inner weeb here, huh.
Favorite music: I listen to a lot of different genres but my go-tos are probably lo-fi hiphop (Nujabes, flamingosis), future bass (Dirty Androids, Ujico), jpop (Higedan, Tatsuro), kpop (Red Velvet, Taeyong), OSTs (John Williams, Darren Korb), RnB/Blues (Etta James, Bill Withers), jazz (Bill Evans, J.A.M.), rock/metal (Dream Theater, G5 Project), and others. My music tastes were influenced a lot from playing rhythm games growing up, which is only a little embarrassing to admit. I also know most of the songs in Maroon 5's Songs about Jane by heart, because... reasons.
Miscellaneous other interests: designing my own games (kind of on hiatus atm), learning languages and nuances of culture in linguistics, following tech trends and internet culture, rock climbing (I'm bad though haha), existential & philosophical questions,

I would put books here too but I don't read many novels, but it's something I want to change. Most of my reading for fun stopped when the Potter books were finished, and after that I always preferred other media for entertainment.
I have a long list of books and other things I want to experience written on a backlog list. Maybe we can form a book/movie club or something? :P
Values:
On growth: I do want somebody who is willing to accept me for who I am, and vice versa, but I feel like that kind of thinking can lead to a dangerous kind of laziness. Maybe dangerous is too strong of a word, but basically I have that fear where I'll let myself go if other people aren't keeping me in check, so to speak. So for me, a relationship acts as a source of accountability. We can guide each other when we're straying too far from the dotted lines, so to speak.
On communication: For me it's natural to want to be able to share anything and everything with my partner, at least in concept. Building that level of trust takes time, but once you're at that level, I also worry about "oversharing" too. I don't want to be that person that dumps all my problems on my partner; in my head, it'd be like that negative emotion you feel when you read too much bad world news in a short span, so I want to strike a balance in sharing on my end. But I'm very open to my partner turning the valve and controlling how much is coming out. Communication is a two-way street after all. As much as I'd like to accept all the words of my partner all the time, I think I need to take a break from time to time too. So let's work on it together.

I should mention up front that this is by no means the card that I predict with accuracy nor is this what I believe AEW should do in the short and long term. All this is is a fantasy booking card that I would like to see based on the small build thus far and how I would go about booking this show if it were left up to me. Mostly, I just tend to get extremely excited about future events and enjoy fantasy booking in general, though this will be the first time I have ever published something like this on a public forum. Obviously Khan and the talent have a much clearer vision than I do, and no matter what they decide to do here, it will almost certainly be better than mine. I’m probably wrong here, but at least I had a lot of fun doing it.

1) MJF def. Jon Moxley (c) to win the AEW World Championship
This feels like exactly the right time and the right person to take the title from Moxley. MJF has been positioning himself as a star of the company, would make a good face for the company, has almost perfect abilities with the mic, and can actually wrestle while putting on a good show. Not to mention the fact that he has a perfect reason for a rematch: Jon Moxley cheated by using the Paradigm Shift at All Out. MJF has no shortage of future contenders (as I’ll get to later) and can be a high end attraction for AEW’s future events.
MJF could win this match cleanly if he could (he can almost certainly out-wrestle Moxley), but if they’re worried about hurting Moxley by losing, MJF could win with a little help from his future friends from the Inner Circle.
2) Thunder Rosa def. Hikaru Shida (c) and Dr. Britt Baker to win the AEW Women’s World Championship

3) FTR (c) def. Best Friends to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship
These two teams just had one of the most brilliant street fights on Dynamite a few weeks ago and this feud does not seem to be over. These two teams are destined to have a great tag team match on PPV and this is the time to do it.
The Young Bucks seem to be positioning for the titles, but right now doesn’t seem to be the time to do it. FTR are new champions and they have really good chemistry and really good athletic abilities capable of turning in a showstopper of a match. FTR need to retain their titles here and the Best Friends are the team to defend against.
I’m going with non-stipulation here because I think these four men can put on a great show without a gimmick.
4) Cody def. Mr. Brodie Lee in a Non-Title Deathmatch
I know these two have a Dog Collar Match coming up next week on Dynamite, but this has been a feud going on for some time and it has reached a boiling point. Much like the Tag Title defense, it would feel like robbery ending such a well put together feud on television.

As a side note, it feels weird with Cody not being able to challenge for the World Championship any time in the future, which is why I think they need to implement an Intercontinental Championship with the same level of prestige that New Japan has that Cody could chase.
5) Kenny Omega def. Lance Archer in the #1 Contender’s Match for the AEW World Championship
It is WAY too soon to pull the trigger on an Omega championship reign, I realize this, but his track record in single’s competitions is so poor that this is the only outcome here that would give him the push Omega needs to eventually become Champion.

6) Chris Jericho and Jake Hager def. The Young Bucks, SCU, and Private Party in a Four Team Elimination Match to Determine the #1 Contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championship
Probably not going to happen by any stretch of the imagination, but this does a few things: It sets up a Tag Team Championship match for Revolution, it gets The Young Bucks in the show (always a big draw), it gets exposure to SCU and Private Party, and it also cements Jericho/Hager as an official team in the Tag Team Division.
SCU and Private Party would be eliminated first, leaving The Young Bucks and Jericho Hager as the final two teams. There are a number of ways The Young Bucks could take the loss without hurting their rankings for a future title shot. They could get themselves disqualified by the antics they have been displaying on Dynamite or there could be interference from the Inner Circle and/or MJF/Wardlow.
7) Orange Cassidy wins the Casino Battle Royale
I could have gone a number of ways here, but Orange Cassidy was my decision because he is OVER AS HELL with the crowd as a babyface, not to mention the fact that Orange Cassidy and MJF would be a huge television draw for a title match on Dynamite. Cassidy hasn’t been positioned to be a main eventer (yet), and MJF could certainly out-wrestle him, but this would make for a highly entertaining Dynamite main event between Full Gear and Revolution.
8) Lucha Bros and Eddie Kingston def. Jurassic Express and Adam Page
The reason I booked this match here was for two reasons: 1) I think it would be highly entertaining and would get all this talent on the show and 2) It would tell a perfect story of Adam Page being unwilling to accept his destiny as a single’s competitor. In my perfect vision, Page would be severely intoxicated during the match, making mistakes, and ultimately costing his team the win. As Jungle Boy attempts to talk some sense into him, Adam Page stumbles off the set and Kingston rolls him up for the pin.
9) Darby Allin and Will Hobbs def. Ricky Starks and Brian Cage
You guessed it, another well set up feud that does not deserve to end on television. I do not have any particular notes or ideas of how this should go though it does seem destined to have some sort of stipulation attached to it. I am not entirely sure if AEW would pull the trigger on this one, but some sort of variation of this match seems destined to me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Future Main Events:
Revolution 2021: MJF def. Kenny Omega
Still too soon to pull the trigger
Double or Nothing 2021: MJF def. Adam Page
This sets up Page as a contender, but still too soon
All Out 2021: MJF def. Chris Jericho
In my fantasy booking, Jericho and MJF allied themselves during Full Gear (2020), but the way the story is progressing, it seems to be building towards this match.
Full Gear 2021: Kenny Omega def. MJF
A full year, Full Gear to Full Gear. This would seem to be a good point to have Kenny Omega finally crowned as champion.
Revolution 2022: Kenny Omega def. Adam Page
This would be the first match of an ideal trilogy to rival Flair vs Steamboat, Gargano vs Cole, and Omega vs Okada. Maybe it’s too soon here but right now, it feels right. Something would have to happen in this match to set up a rematch for...
Double or Nothing 2022: Kenny Omega def. Adam Page
Match #2 of the trilogy, this time Page gets defeated cleanly and no rematch seems to be on the horizon.
All Out 2022: Kenny Omega def. Kazuchika Okada
I’m just joking here. I’m leaving this blank because it feels like a variable. If Adam Page is going to beat Omega for the title then Omega needs to appear extremely strong, so this title match will be kept open for now depending on new arrivals or who gets pushed.
Full Gear 2022: Kenny Omega def. AJ Styles
Again, just a joke. Same as above, this is kept open for whoever appears to be the strongest contender based on what happens and who gets over in the next year or so.
Revolution 2023: Kenny Omega def. ______________
Same as the last two main events.
Double of Nothing 2023: Adam Page def. Kenny Omega
This is it, the final match of the trilogy where Adam Page is finally crowned as the guy of the company. The story would go something like this: After losing the hypothetical Intercontinental Championship, Adam Page goes on a huge downward spiral and “leaves” the company for a few months only to return at Revolution completely sober and changed where he wins the rights to challenge Kenny Omega one last time and were he to lose this match, he would never challenge for the title again.
Naturally, even when fantasy booking, we can never guarantee match quality, but assuming there are no unfortunate injuries and both talents are in prime shape, this would be the closest to that seven star Omega/Okada match from 2018.
Adam Page wins a nearly one hour contest.
Other Notes

Wardlow wins a Casino Battle Royale to set up a title match on Dynamite with MJF
I feel like there is a need for an Intercontinental Championship to keep Adam Page in the title picture despite not main eventing for a year.
Adam Page has a rather long title reign, but whoever beats him should have to beat Kenny Omega in a #1 Contenders match. Defeating Omega and Page within the span of a few weeks would work great to establish the next face of the company.

I realize that I may be horribly wrong in every single one of these predictions, but I thought it was fun nonetheless and wanted to share them. If anyone thinks this will plan out differently for whatever reason, feel free to message me at any time and we can talk about bookings, AEW, NJPW, or whatever (I'm a fairly amusing guy all things considered). For the time being, I'm going to plug these matches into Fire Pro Wrestling World and watch them all plan out.
Cheers!

Now that voice chat is coming soon(this week?), I think it would be a good time to get another requested features list that the devs can work on while we are still in phase one of pre season.
I think we can leave out text chat/mini map/ map adjustments as I’m pretty that’s been said enough.
Also important to note that theses suggestions are from a Solo que/ Match Making perspectives.
Please competitive players list any features you think we are missing.
This list:

Environmental assist points/kill points
Group up/Party feature after HotH matches
A “ Focus/Priority “Target Ping
Text displaying “Hive is spawning NOW”
A “Capture Amplifiers” Ping
Make health stations even more Visible, not hidden behind one of three legs of a Harvester.
Rematch feature for HotH Matches
AFK level Supplement, rather then Full blown surrender.
Option to Prestige the battle pass of the season, for more Character XP.
A “Health is low, I need to heal” callout
Be able to interact during the pod landing animation

Bells and whistles(feedback system)

Headshot Kills need a more satisfying sound animation , we need a casino like euphoria when we hit skill shots
Status effect kills need a different animation rather then a plain red skull (Jon Peters said he wanted a different skull animation for each hunter and I think that’s a great idea)
Kill leader callout
Essence leader callout
Animation for walking out of the pod could be ENTIRELY removed until we get something just looks cooler(emotes/ different animations walking out of the pod come to mind)

^ I really have to STRESS how bad of a first impression this is for anyone loading up the game for the first time.

Kill Streak callout (4,8,10,12)
Meele Sounds needs to be different when hit with different weapons

That’s it off the cusps.
Please leave your feedback so the devs have another working list.
Also I know theses things take time so please be patient.

The Fundamentals
How Your Habits Shape Your Identity (and Vice Versa)
The 1st Law: Make it Obvious
The 2nd Law: Make it Attractive
The 3rd Law: Make it Easy
The 4th Law: Make it Satisfying

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

The Fundamentals

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
Advice To make earth-shattering improvements, do not seek for massive changes, but change by just making small improvements on a daily basis
Quote “If you want to predict where you’ll end up in life, all you have to do is follow the curve of tiny gains or tiny losses, and see how your daily choices will compound ten or twenty years down the line.”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Advice Be patient with your habits
Fact The effect of small habits are delayed. You don’t immediately see good results from good small habits, and neither bad results from small bad habits. But, overtime, they compound to something much larger.
Quote “Your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits. ”
Fact: Why people stop building positive habits: They see that they’re failing to make a tangible result and decide to quit.
Quote “It is not until months or years later that we realize the true value of the previous work we have done.”
Quote Small changes often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. The most powerful outcomes of any compounding process are delayed. You need to be patient.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Advice Focus not only on making good habits, but also removing bad ones
Quote Habits are a double-edged sword. They can work for you or against you
Positive compounding

Productivity compounds: Accomplishing one extra task every day or automating an old task every day can lead to a lot over an entire career.
Knowledge compounds: Learning one new idea every day not only makes you know more, but allows you to see old ideas through new perspectives.
Relationships compound: Helping others more and being nicer in each interaction can result in a network of strong connections over time.

Negative compounding

Stress compounds: Stressing every day can lead to serious health issues
Negative thoughts compound: The more you think of yourself or others negatively, you will spiral uncontrollably towards that direction.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Advice Focus on systems rather than setting goals.
Fact Society worries about setting specific, actionable goals, but the real results lie when you focus on the system.
Quote “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

How Your Habits Shape Your Identity (and Vice Versa)

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
Three layers of behaviour change:
Outcomes: Concerned with results (ex: publishing book, general goals)
Process: Concerned with changing your habits and systems (ex: new gym routine)
Identity: Changing your beliefs, worldview, self-image, and judgements.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Focus on who you wish to become rather than what you want to achieve
EXAMPLE Being offered a cigarette and saying “No thanks. I’m trying to quit” vs. “No thanks. I’m not a smoker.” Small difference but one is a goal and the other is a shift in identity.
QUOTE The ultimate form of intrinsic motivation is when a habit becomes part of your identity.
FACT Once your pride gets involved in your habit, you’ll fight hard to maintain them.
QUOTE “True behaviour change is identity change. You might start a habit because of motivation, but the only reason you’ll stick with one is that it becomes part of your identity.”

The goal is not to read a book, the goal is to become a reader.
The goal is not to run a marathon, the goal is to become a runner.
The goal is not to learn an instrument, the goal is to become a musician.

FACT The reason why your positive habits fail to stick is because they conflict with your current identity.
FACT Feedback loops: “Your habits shape your identity, and your identity shapes your habits.”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Know what result you want, work backward to find what type of person could get those results. Work to become that person by continuously accumulating small habits.
TWO STEP PROCESS TO CHANGING YOUR IDENTITY

Decide the type of person you want to be.
Prove it to yourself with small wins.

QUOTE The most effective way to change your habits is to focus not on what you want to achieve, but on who you wish to become.
QUOTE “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.”
QUOTE The most practical way to change who you are is to change what you do.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Science Of How Habits Work
QUOTE The process of building a habit can be divided into four simple steps: cue, craving, response, and reward.

Cue: Triggers brain to initiate a behaviour
Craving: Motivational force behind every habit. “Every craving is linked to a desire to change your internal state.”
Response: The actual habit performed. If friction is low and the reward is great, the response will be carried out.
Reward: End goal of every habit. “The cue is about noticing the reward. The craving is about wanting the reward. The response is about obtaining the reward.

FACT We chase rewards because they satisfy us and because they teach us that these actions are worth remembering in the future.
FACT “If a behaviour is insufficient in any of the four stages, it will not become a habit.”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE FOUR LAWS OF BEHAVIOUR CHANGE
How to Create a Good Habit

The 1st law (Cue): Make it obvious
The 2nd law (Craving): Make it attractive
The 3rd law (Response): Make it easy
The 4th law (Reward): Make it satisfying

How to Break a Bad Habit

Inversion of the 1st law (Cue): Make it invisible
Inversion of the 2nd law (Craving): Make it unattractive
Inversion of the 3rd law (Response): Make it difficult
Inversion of the 4th law (Reward): Make it unsatisfying

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

The 1st Law: Make it Obvious

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
ADVICE Create a habits scorecard to observe what is going on
QUOTE This is one of the most surprising insights about our habits: you don’t need to be aware of the cue for a habit to begin. You can notice an opportunity and take action without dedicating conscious attention to it. This is what makes habits useful.
FACT Many of our habits are performed subconsciously
QUOTE Once our habits become automatic, we stop paying attention to what we are doing.
QUOTE The process of behaviour change always starts with awareness. You need to be aware of your habits before you can change them.
HOW TO CREATE A HABITS SCORECARD

List out all of your daily habits
Looking at each habit, ask yourself if that habit is a good, bad, or neutral habit. Mark each habit on the list as such.
If a habit is hard to determine with step 2, ask yourself: “Does this behaviour help me become the type of person I wish to be? Does this habit cast a vote for or against my desired identity?”

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Create an implementation intention: “I will BEHAVIOUR at TIME in LOCATION”

Studying. I will study Spanish for twenty minutes at 6 p.m. in my bedroom.
Exercise. I will exercise for one hour at 5 p.m. in my local gym.
Marriage. I will make my partner a cup of tea at 8 a.m. in the kitchen.

FACT The two most important cues that can trigger a habit are time and place.
QUOTE People who make a specific plan for when and where they will perform a new habit are more likely to follow through.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Use Habit Stacking to build new habits
QUOTE One of the best ways to build a new habit is to identify a current habit you already do each day and then stack your new behaviour on top. This is called habit stacking.
QUOTE Rather than pairing your new habit with a particular time and location, you pair it with a current habit.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Create a habit using the habit stacking formula: “After CURRENT HABIT, I will NEW HABIT”

Meditation. After I pour my cup of coffee each morning, I will meditate for one minute.
Exercise. After I take off my work shoes, I will immediately change into my workout clothes.
Gratitude. After I sit down to dinner, I will say one thing I’m grateful for that happened today.
Marriage. After I get into bed at night, I will give my partner a kiss.
Safety. After I put on my running shoes, I will text a friend or family member where I am running and how long it will take.

FACT Once you have a basic structure, you can begin creating longer stacks by chaining your small habits together using the Diderot Effect.
Case 1:

After I pour my morning cup of coffee, I will meditate for sixty seconds.
After I meditate for sixty seconds, I will write my to-do list for the day.
After I write my to-do list for the day, I will immediately begin my first task.

Case 2:

After I finish eating dinner, I will put my plate directly into the dishwasher.
After I put my dishes away, I will immediately wipe down the counter.
After I wipe down the counter, I will set out my coffee mug for tomorrow morning.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Create general habit stacks:

Exercise. When I see a set of stairs, I will take them instead of using the elevator.
Social skills. When I walk into a party, I will introduce myself to someone I don’t know yet.
Finances. When I want to buy something over $100, I will wait twenty-four hours before purchasing.
Healthy eating. When I serve myself a meal, I will always put veggies on my plate first.
Minimalism. When I buy a new item, I will give something away. (“One in, one out.”)
Mood. When the phone rings, I will take one deep breath and smile before answering.
Forgetfulness. When I leave a public place, I will check the table and chairs to make sure I don’t leave anything behind.

FACT “Habit stacking works best when the cue is highly specific and immediately actionable.”

BAD: When I take a break for lunch, I will do ten push-ups.
GOOD: When I close my laptop for lunch, I will do ten push-ups next to my desk.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Design your environment such that cues of preferred habits are obvious.
FACT “When the cues that spark a habit are subtle or hidden, they are easy to ignore.”

If you want to remember to take your medication each night, put your pill bottle directly next to the faucet on the bathroom counter.
If you want to practice guitar more frequently, place your guitar stand in the middle of the living room.
If you want to remember to send more thank-you notes, keep a stack of stationery on your desk.
If you want to drink more water, fill up a few water bottles each morning and place them in common locations around the house.

FACT “Gradually, your habits become associated not with a single trigger but with the entire context surrounding the behaviour. The context becomes the cue.”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE “Create a separate space for work, study, exercise, entertainment, and cooking.”
FACT It is easier to build new habits in a new environment because you are not fighting against old cues.
QUOTE Every habit should have a home.
QUOTE A stable environment where everything has a place and a purpose is an environment where habits can easily form.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Cut bad habits off at the source by changing your environment or eliminating the cues.
QUOTE So, yes, perseverance, grit, and willpower are essential to success, but the way to improve these qualities is not by wishing you were a more disciplined person, but by creating a more disciplined environment.
FACT “A habit that has been encoded in the mind is ready to be used whenever the relevant situation arises.”
FACT People with high self-control tend to spend less time in tempting situations. It’s easier to avoid temptation than resist it.
FACT You can break a habit, but you’re unlikely to forget it. Once the mental grooves of habit have been carved into your brain, they are nearly impossible to remove entirely—even if they go unused for quite a while.

If you can’t seem to get any work done, leave your phone in another room for a few hours.
If you’re continually feeling like you’re not enough, stop following social media accounts that trigger jealousy and envy.
If you’re wasting too much time watching television, move the TV out of the bedroom.
If you’re spending too much money on electronics, quit reading reviews of the latest tech gear.
If you’re playing too many video games, unplug the console and put it in a closet after each use.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

The 2nd Law: Make it Attractive

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
ADVICE “If you want to increase the odds that a behaviour will occur, then you need to make it attractive.”
FACT “It is the anticipation of a reward—not the fulfillment of it—that gets us to take action. The greater the anticipation, the greater the dopamine spike.”
QUOTE Whenever you predict that an opportunity will be rewarding, your levels of dopamine spike in anticipation. And whenever dopamine rises, so does your motivation to act.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Combine habit stacking + temptation bundling:
QUOTE Temptation bundling works by linking an action you want to do with an action you need to do.
HOW
After CURRENT HABIT, I will HABIT I NEED.
After HABIT I NEED, I will HABIT I WANT.
Case 1: If you want to read the news, but you need to express more gratitude:

After I get my morning coffee, I will say one thing I’m grateful for that happened yesterday (need).
After I say one thing I’m grateful for, I will read the news (want).

Case 2: If you want to watch sports, but you need to make sales calls:

After I get back from my lunch break, I will call three potential clients (need).
After I call three potential clients, I will check ESPN (want).

Case 3: If you want to check Facebook, but you need to exercise more:

After I pull out my phone, I will do ten burpees (need).
After I do ten burpees, I will check Facebook (want).

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE “Join a culture where (1) your desired behaviour is the normal behaviour and (2) you already have something in common with the group.”
FACT “Behaviours are attractive when they help us fit in.”
FACT “The culture we live in determines which behaviours are attractive to us.”
FACT “The normal behaviour of the tribe often overpowers the desired behaviour of the individual. Most days, we’d rather be wrong with the crowd than be right by ourselves.”
FACT “We tend to imitate the habits of three social groups: the close (family and friends), the many (the tribe), and the powerful (those with status and prestige).”
QUOTE One of the most effective things you can do to build better habits is to join a culture where your desired behaviour is the normal behaviour.
FACT People imitate the habits of the close, the many, and the powerful
FACT “Whenever we are unsure how to act, we look to the group to guide our behaviour.”
FACT We try to copy the behaviour of successful people because we desire success ourselves.
FACT “If a behaviour can get us approval, respect, and praise, we find it attractive.”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Associate hard habits with positive experience
HOW: Reframe your habits to highlight their benefits rather than their drawbacks
Case: Exercise

NOT: I need to go run in the morning.
DO: It’s time to build endurance and get fast.

QUOTE Habits are attractive when we associate them with positive feelings and unattractive when we associate them with negative feelings. Create a motivation ritual by doing something you enjoy immediately before a difficult habit. FACT Every habit has a deeper underlying motive other than surface desires.
FACT Your habits are modern-day solutions to ancient problems.

Find love and reproduce = using Tinder
Connect and bond with others = browsing Facebook
Win social acceptance and approval = posting on Instagram
Reduce uncertainty = searching on Google
Achieve status and prestige = playing video games

FACT “Your current habits are not necessarily the best way to solve the problems you face; they are just the methods you learned to use.”

Smoking to relieve stress vs running to reduce anxiety

QUOTE Once you associate a solution with the problem you need to solve, you keep coming back to it.
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

The 3rd Law: Make it Easy

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
ADVICE Focus on taking action rather than planning and strategizing.
QUOTE The most effective form of learning is practice, not planning.
QUOTE We are so focused on figuring out the best approach that we never get around to taking action.
FACT Planning, strategizing, and learning makes it feel like you’re making progress real when you’re not.
QUOTE You don’t want to merely be planning. You want to be practicing.
QUOTE Habit formation is the process by which a behaviour becomes progressively more automatic through repetition.
QUOTE The amount of time you have been performing a habit is not as important as the number of times you have performed it.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Make your habits convenient
HOW Increase the friction associated with bad behaviours and reduce the friction associated with good habits. When friction is high, habits are difficult, and vice versa.
QUOTE Human behaviour follows the Law of Least Effort. We will naturally gravitate toward the option that requires the least amount of work.
FACT The less energy a habit requires, the more likely it is to occur
QUOTE Create an environment where doing the right thing is as easy as possible.
QUOTE Reduce the friction associated with good behaviours. When friction is low, habits are easy.
ADVICE Set up your environment so the next time you perform a good habit will be very easy and very hard to do a bad habit.
QUOTE Prime your environment to make future actions easier.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Use the two minutes rule
QUOTE The Two-Minute Rule states, “When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.”

“Read before bed each night” becomes “Read one page.”
“Do thirty minutes of yoga” becomes “Take out my yoga mat.”
“Study for class” becomes “Open my notes.”
“Fold the laundry” becomes “Fold one pair of socks.”
“Run three miles” becomes “Tie my running shoes.”

ADVICE Enforce the two minute rule if you believe you are tricking yourself. Force yourself to quit after exactly two minutes if you don’t feel like working on it.
QUOTE The more you ritualize the beginning of a process, the more likely it becomes that you can slip into the state of deep focus that is required to do great things.
QUOTE Standardize before you optimize. You can’t improve a habit that doesn’t exist.
QUOTE Instead of trying to engineer a perfect habit from the start, do the easy thing on a more consistent basis.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Consider habituating an easier habit if it leads to working on a more difficult habit

Make your habit stepping into the bus rather than the gym workout.

QUOTE Habits can be completed in a few seconds but continue to impact your behaviour for minutes or hours afterward.
QUOTE Many habits occur at decisive moments—choices that are like a fork in the road—and either send you in the direction of a productive day or an unproductive one.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Make doing bad habits difficult by using a commitment device
QUOTE A commitment device is a choice you make in the present that locks in better behaviour in the future.

Buy food in individual packages rather than bulk size to prevent overeating
Ask to be added to the ban list at casinos to prevent gambling sprees
Buy a device that shuts internet off at 10pm to sleep early

QUOTE Onetime choices—like buying a better mattress or enrolling in an automatic savings plan—are single actions that automate your future habits and deliver increasing returns over time.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Find ways to automate your habits whenever possible
QUOTE Using technology to automate your habits is the most reliable and effective way to guarantee the right behaviour.
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

The 4th Law: Make it Satisfying

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
ADVICE Add immediate pleasure to good habits and immediate pain to bad habits.
FACT “We are more likely to repeat a behaviour when the experience is satisfying.”
FACT ”The human brain evolved to prioritize immediate rewards over delayed rewards.”
FACT “The Cardinal Rule of Behaviour Change: What is immediately rewarded is repeated. What is immediately punished is avoided.”
QUOTE To get a habit to stick you need to feel immediately successful—even if it’s in a small way.
QUOTE The first three laws of behaviour change—make it obvious, make it attractive, and make it easy—increase the odds that a behaviour will be per formed this time. The fourth law of behaviour change—make it satisfying—increases the odds that a behaviour will be repeated next time.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE When selecting rewards for habits, do not select rewards that run counter to what the habit is about.

Do NOT reward buying a new jacket if habit is to save money
CAN reward buying a new jacket if habit is to read more.
Do NOT reward eating ice-cream if habit is to lose weight

QUOTE Incentives can start a habit. Identity sustains a habit.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Use immediate pleasure to start a habit, but slowly it would be unnecessary and habit will become self sustaining
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Track your habits
QUOTE One of the most satisfying feelings is the feeling of making progress.

Moving paperclip from one jar to another for each sales call you make

QUOTE A habit tracker is a simple way to measure whether you did a habit—like marking an X on a calendar.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Tracking habits should be as automated and simple as possible
FACT It is difficult to start a habit, it is even more difficult to start a habit and start a habit tracking habit at the same time.

Credit card statement tracks how often you go out to eat
Fitbit tells you how many steps you take and how long you sleep

ADVICE Only manually track your most important habits.
ADVICE Immediately measure and mark your habit after finishing a session.
QUOTE Don’t break the chain. Try to keep your habit streak alive.
QUOTE Never miss twice. If you miss one day, try to get back on track as quickly as possible.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Get an accountability partner to make doing bad habits unsatisfying
FACT We are less likely to repeat a bad habit if it has immediate painful consequences.
QUOTE In general, the more local, tangible, concrete, and immediate the consequence, the more likely it is to influence individual behaviour.
QUOTE An accountability partner can create an immediate cost to inaction. We care deeply about what others think of us, and we do not want others to have a lesser opinion of us.
QUOTE A habit contract can be used to add a social cost to any behaviour. It makes the costs of violating your promises public and painful.
QUOTE Knowing that someone else is watching you can be a powerful motivator.
Advanced Tactics: How to Go from Being Merely Good to Being Truly Great
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE The Goldilocks Rule states that humans experience peak motivation when working on tasks that are right on the edge of their current abilities.
QUOTE The greatest threat to success is not failure but boredom.
QUOTE As habits become routine, they become less interesting and less satisfying. We get bored.
QUOTE Anyone can work hard when they feel motivated. It’s the ability to keep going when work isn’t exciting that makes the difference.
FACT Really successful people feel the same lack of motivation as everyone else, however, they still find a way to practice despite the boredom.
QUOTE Professionals stick to the schedule; amateurs let life get in the way.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE To master a field, you need to layer improvements on top of one another.
QUOTE Right when things are starting to feel automatic and you are becoming comfortable—that you must avoid slipping into the trap of complacency.
ADVICE Engage in reflection and review to make sure you are still improving
Every summer:

What are the core values that drive my life and work?
How am I living and working with integrity right now?
How can I set a higher standard in the future?
Every new year:
What went well this year?
What didn’t go so well this year?
What did I learn?

QUOTE Reflection and review is a process that allows you to remain conscious of your performance over time.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ADVICE Keep your identity small
QUOTE The tighter we cling to an identity, the harder it becomes to grow beyond it.
QUOTE The more you let a single belief define you, the less capable you are of adapting when life challenges you.
