The Story of Mental Decode
I want to share a bit about Mental Decode — why it exists, how it was born, and what it really means.
At first, I was simply searching for a formula to be productive. I wanted to get more done in less time, to handle even the hardest tasks quickly and effectively. Most of all, I wanted to feel fulfilled at the end of each day. But I noticed something about myself: when I was feeling sensitive or emotionally reactive, my concentration broke down. That’s when I began asking — how can I lower my sensitivity? How can I "turn off" my feelings — for just a minute, or an hour — and enter a purely mental state, focused on execution?
Eventually, I discovered a particular flow state — one where my mind fully locks onto the task at hand. I become one with the desk, with the work. In this state, I’m undisturbed and deeply focused. It’s as if the concept of “me” disappears — no emotions, no memories, no distractions. Just an empty space and the task in front of me.
When I enter this Mental Decode state, I no longer judge tasks as easy or hard. There’s no internal voice saying, “I don’t want to do this.” There’s no resistance, because there’s no “me” in the usual sense. It’s simply an empty space, and in that space, action begins. One task leads to another. And because I’ve cut out all emotion, memory, and ego — everything feels new, fresh, and manageable.
At first, I work almost mechanically. That’s important — it helps me detach from my habitual patterns and enter this blank mental field more easily. I even move differently — simply, without charisma or personal style. That simplicity makes it easier to stay disconnected from distractions or inner resistance.
In the beginning, it’s normal to feel tense — especially during the first 10–30 minutes. Sometimes I become hyperactive just to get started, especially when distractions are present. But once the flow kicks in, things become effortless. If I start in a calm environment, it’s even better — less energy wasted, more energy reserved.
What’s most crucial is to commit to this state before starting. Decide: "I will enter this state now, for the next 30 minutes or 1 hour — no matter what happens." If you allow yourself to get distracted mid-transition, it's hard to re-enter. But when you go in 100% from the start, reaching the state might take only 3–5 minutes.
For example, if I’m assigned an IT task, I’ll sit down, open the 3 apps I need, and begin immediately. I don’t overthink. I just do. The more calm the environment, the less tension I bring, and the more energy-efficient my work becomes. Tension burns energy, calmness stores it.
This Mental Decode state is a tool. It can be used for anything — not just work. Sports, relationships, driving — even the tasks you hate most. In fact, it’s most effective when applied to things you dislike. Why? Because it removes all memory, emotion, and resistance. You’re just a blank page — approaching a hated task as if it were your first time.
You start mechanically, without identity or emotion. And before you realize it, an hour passes and the task is done. You’ve conquered something important. That is the true value of Mental Decode.
