- the truth of the matter is that even one hour of dedicated work a day can put you in a different orbit. The issue is that we no longer know how to work and how to rest. it’s not even about sleep. there are only two modes - work and doomscroll. what about painting? reading novels? romance? why everything is about work work work? is this anxiety real or is it fake? why is it there?
- you don’t set goals then you get anxious. you get anxious and you don’t ask questions to your anxiety you just get pulled on its strings like a puppet can you put your tools down at the end of a work day and feel satisfied? this used to be the norm. now we no longer have work-days and we can no longer be satisfied. learn to rest.
- learn to plan your work. when you finish your work for the day, turn it off. set modest goals but hit them consistently. this is winning.
- it’s also fucking boring. none of the drama.
