Your mind is skilled at problem solving. You can always come up with hundreds of excuses as to why you shouldn’t do something. Do not fight that battle. Ask the right question.

It’s not about why you shouldn’t do something.

It’s about why not!

You will always gain nothing by exerting effort if your focus is on staying unfatigued or on avoiding getting tired.

Face it. Become as tired as ever. And if it doesn’t feel good please come and tell me.

Your logical perspective on why you should do something almost always includes the consequences of your actions. I’m going to be insanely tired after this is one of the responses that you get at the top of the list of reasons why you shouldn’t pause the damn movie and produce a new amazing or even crappy piece of content. That’s you negotiating. Jump right away. Make it a matter of how to do it, not why you should do it.

If you followed reason, you won’t be so creative. You’ll always be conservative. (Not politically but in terms of productivity and creativity).

I always hate myself immediately after writing. But after a few minutes, the euphoria starts to kick in. And then everything starts to make sense again.

Do it, then question whether or not it was worth it, after you’ve already spent the energy on it.
