Unf*ck Your Life: Optimization Through Behavioral Equations 
“You don’t have a broken life—you have broken math.”
When we struggle in life, we often blame emotions, motivation, or discipline. But what if the real issue is faulty internal equations? This method introduces a revolutionary mental model: Metamathematics—the idea that every outcome in life stems from hidden behavioral calculations you didn’t consciously write.
The Root Idea: Life Runs on Math, Not Mood
You’re already running equations:
- Procrastination? → Task Value < Discomfort of Starting
- Toxic relationships? → Fear of Change × Familiarity > Perceived Alternative
- Scrolling endlessly? → Instant Dopamine > Delayed Mastery Reward
These equations control your actions. You didn’t choose them—but you can change them.
Step 1: Reprogram Your Internal Definitions
Most advice is vague: “Be confident.” But how?
Instead, reverse-engineer traits:
- What behaviors = confidence?
- What actions = patience?
- What does success depend on mathematically?
Use the Redefyne system:
Redefyne 120+ Actionable Definitions
Here, terms like “discipline” become input/output models—not empty buzzwords.
Step 2: Upgrade Intelligence in Two Practical Ways
“The only true test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life.” — Naval
A. Iterate Faster
Smarter people don’t get it right first—they just run more feedback loops:
- Act → 2. Review → 3. Adjust → 4. Repeat
The first attempt always sucks. The second attempt is data. The 10th? Smarter. The 1000th? Unstoppable.
B. Think Like a Grandmaster
Structured thinking means:
- Count Your Pieces (know your resources)
- Trace the Path (how did you get here?)
- Recall Past Wins (reuse solved problems)
- Write It Down (thinking = writing = memory)
- Simulate Outcomes (mentally play out moves)
- List Options (don’t act on the first idea)
- Prune Mental Weeds (ignore irrelevant doubts)
Avoid:
- Going too deep on 1 bad idea
- Skimming too many ideas without analysis
The solution? Find your Golden Mean—enough thinking to act wisely, not spiral endlessly.
Step 3: Gamify Your Real Life
Treat life as a video game:
- Quests = daily input actions
- Bosses = mindset barriers
- Levers = small actions with big ROI
- Errors = miscalculations in your beliefs
Design your world with systems that work for you:
- Micro-Levels → Write 100 words, not “a book”
- Progress Bars → Track inputs, not just results
- Pain/Pleasure Hooks → Coffee after tasks; pay $20 for snoozing
- Public Accountability → Show your streaks
- Momentum → Protect your streaks like gold
“The laziest person I knew played 16 hours of video games… and outworked every productive person.” — George Mack
You’re not lazy. You’re just stuck in a poorly designed interface.
Bonus Round: Escape Competition—Create Your Own Game
If 10,000 people want the same thing, you need an unfair edge.
Solution? Combine your weirdest 3 skills.
Example:
- Top 10% in animation
- Top 20% in psychology
- Top 5% in storytelling
You now dominate “Narrative Animation Therapy”—a niche only you own.
“Become the best at what you do. Then redefine what you do until it’s true.” — Naval
TL;DR: Run the Math
- Don’t chase success → Solve for it
- Don’t trust motivation → Engineer your inputs
- Don’t wait for clarity → Run better equations
Emotions are valid—but outcomes are mathematical.
Master your formulas. Iterate your way into the life you actually want.
