00:00:00 Two types of procrastination 

00:04:00 Duty to the Dhamma; liberation from suffering

00:06:34 Wisdom to acquire the necessities but not to cling to them; doing things for the sake of dukkha, dukkha-nirodha

00:13:23 Jumping to conclusions; wisdom at the point of contact; sati and right effort

00:24:11 The worldly winds are impersonal forces; eye of the hurricane 

00:29:05 Buddhadāsa’s poem; what has changed in your real life? The virtuous peacock

00:33:16 Jordan Peterson is miserable; don’t map the dungeon, just go for the exit

00:37:02 Taking advantage of a cold to practice being in the moment

00:46:40 What sort of insights and how often? Don’t cling to the insight; remaining in jhāna; this moment is beautiful

00:54:06 We don’t have to wait for the conditions to change to be satisfied; vigilance about doubt

01:00:02 You’re already here; just let go

01:04:58 Philosophy is like bubblegum; the suttas and sati

01:12:30 Dealing with bureaucracy; rules, limits, and opportunities; farming and wilding; wrong view, ordinary right view, supermundane right view
