Let’s talk getting productive. This in itself is the core of self-help. Keeping motivation levels up to inspire us to be . The main problem as I see it, everyone looks for the easy way out, the next pill, but in reality everything isn’t as hard as you make it out to be. It just takes way longer then you might think.
As a person I find I get into ruts. Say working or the lack there of. Doing less work breeds doing less work. Your mind and body finds ways to be lazy when it’s in an unproductive stage. On the flip side when you are producing and working it becomes easier to continue on then to stop.
Bing! Right there: Momentum. This is a hugely under talked about thing in the self-help community. First, we need dreams and things to aspire to. Next we need motivation and ways to keep our motivation. Things that constantly, remind us of what we want and how to get there. Next the momentum. This is a key that I don’t think Edge or I have talked about much. Briefly we talk about it in riding the momentum on a night out, but this really translates to all self help, self improvement and even business.
Plain and simple: the less you do, the less you feel like doing. You snap yourself out of it and the opposite effect happens. The more you do, the more you want to do. Ride the wave up, snap your self out of bad habits and get the momentum going.
This leads me to a future post talking about the three pillars of success in any endevor. Let’s stop wasting time and keep working toward our dreams.
