I was trying to suggest that I don't expect a second chance mentality to fill an entire day. I agree that as contexts shift throughout the day, it makes sense shift the mentality.

That makes sense. What do you think about making it more granular? Where the mentality or frame of mind could be the top level, this would be “live today like you have already lived it”. The next level might be certain modes e.g. driving or gym mode. The last level is where you defer your thinking to an appropriate self, see simulate and defer to more rational selves. Perhaps micro boggles e.g. 20 seconds to a few minutes, would be useful as well. An example is if you are going to the gym, you might initiate gym mode just before you go. Then, when you are just about to do some squats you might think about your setup squat lifting self and you let them decide when to stop, how much weight to lift etc.

Another example is that you might boggle an hour, say, for writing. Then, you get into the writing mode and start writing. During this period you might switch between your writing and reviewing selves multiple times.

The general idea behind the mentalities, modes and other selves is that you enter a certain state of mind where you exclude unhelpful and include helpful thoughts. The lower the level the more specific the sets of thoughts are that you are allowing.

Fixed both, I think.

I can see that both are fixed. Thanks.
