Today, Man, Yesterday Man and Tomorrow Man
Today, Man
The man woke up early morning, without feeling tired. He jumped out of the bed, as he could not stay there for a one minute. There was the piano waiting for him to play. Blank pages were ready on the table asking for him to compose. And he knew exactly what he was going to compose today, as it was already planned and written on a piece of paper. There was a Jug of water for him to drink, and an apple on his table to munch while working. All around was silence triggering his thoughts than any other. His mind could wonder into deep crevices of the brain to pick up memories and feelings he even did not know exist. Memories worth of decades about to be lost forever, he could recover and put on paper.
He did not feel sleepy, as he had already slept a good deal. He had a sound sleep without any disturbances in a dimly lighted room. There were no phones and no screens, but few books he wanted to read, were already there with bookmarks. Books were specifically picked up to spark his creativity by the Yesterday Man.
When he felt a little tired, and sleepy, he got up and walked. Planned his day, this time on paper. By the time when the neighborhood woke up, he was already getting ready to go to work in the cold autumn day. His blood was warm, heart was fresh, as inside he was feeling triumphed like an already winner. He knew not to expect any change of course of his life in immediate future. He did not even want that, as today was a totally perfect day thanks to yesterday, Man.
Yesterday, Man
Imagine that imaginary man was you. You may think, nah.. that is not me. It is not even possible. I have tried the trick you're talking about 1000 times in the past and failed. I agree if you told me you struggle with your dreams, and manifestations. There is not one single reason. But I bet ironically, there were 1000 reasons why you failed today. Demotivated, Depressed and too tired to feel and even move your butt out of your couch which had rooted onto the ground after years and years of wasted time. My advice is giving up today. Consider it already failed, before even it ends. Yet you can focus on tomorrow.
In the above example, the man who woke up did not start his day from scratch. It was already planned, and half done. Everything, from his morning tea to exercise and snack, were no decisions for him to make. What he should compose was already written, by himself, during the previous day. He felt well rested, as he was granted with a good sleep by himself by going to bed early to have enough sleep. His bed was neat and ready, as he himself prepared the bed beforehand. As you can see, there really was an invisible man. But the invisible man was only "Yesterday himself". Won't you agree it is easier to wake up to a half-painted dream, so you can just carry on without any resistance? The fact is you can be your own invisible man today. Although we agreed today is a failure, at some point you need to turn your odds into success. Why not focus on tomorrow?
How to be a tomorrow, Man
Imagine yourself as three men. Your main goal for today is to anticipate every problem you are going to encounter tomorrow and make plans to overcome them. Not one, not two, but 1000 tiny plans that you make for 1000 obstacles. So, your routines are not to focus on today, but to let tomorrow flows smoothly. When it becomes tomorrow, which I am sure will happen, you would feel the presence of the invisible "Yesterday Man" by half done work for you. You just have to follow his paths and instructions. There is no room for self-doubts or hiccups of normal life, as these were already planned. There is no chance that you'd fail as yesterday man already failed and made today success possible. Once started, and finished your today's assignments, you can just be a tomorrow man. And repeat all those tiny things you have done to make it successful tomorrow. This would be far easier to do this time around as you know it is going to be a fantastic day tomorrow. Evident by today. Finally, you'd be able to break the cycle of modern man's doom, and step away from the clutter to craft your own future.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today and you make your tomorrow.
