Do the thing, with disregard to how much energy you have, or how much energy you feel you have, no matter what, or else you will never extract yourself out of rock-bottom.

Sometimes it is easier and less energy demanding to go for the thing right away, and to just do the thing that you want to do, than it is to aim for it, and keep maintaining yourself being in that state of aiming for and being absolutely ready for and prepared for doing the thing with maximum motivation. That state of readiness, is sometimes harder than the actual engagement in doing the thing itself. As in, it’s hard to stay ready and prepared for doing the thing at peak state of readiness and at peak performance, enthusiasm, and motivation, than to actually get started already and begin doing the thing.

You are failing in life because of this. It is such a small reason for failure, but it is still responsible for the overwhelming majority of your failure, at least when it comes to your productivity and making progress, with disregard to the negative influence of outside or external factors that might sometimes be totally responsible for your failure at whatever it is that you want to succeed in doing in life.

You wait, until you’re ready.

You wait, until you reach the peak state of readiness, preparedness, motivation, energy, enthusiasm, and excitement about doing the thing.

This is beyond waiting to feel like it, which is contingent upon your mood and feelings at the moment, with disregard to your energy or motivation.

You wait until you feel you have the energy to do the thing.

You wait, until you no longer feel tired.

You wait, until you no longer feel like you need to rest, or sleep anymore.

You wait, until there’s no sense of fatigue, or exhaustion, whatsoever, left in you.

You wait, for the right moment.

You wait, until you feel you can do the thing.

You wait until you feel you have the ability to do the thing totally successfully and perfectly.

You wait, until everything is perfect. Not just the external environment, but also your internal state, environment, and well-being.

And that’s why you say no, I’m not going to do it now. I’m going to do it later.

And that’s why your procrastination never ends, and you never seem to be making satisfactory progress, ever.

Because, on paper, you look like you were performing at peak capacity. After all, you only said no, when you couldn’t do the thing. You had no energy. It’s not your fault. You really couldn’t do it. And so, you conclude that this is your maximum capacity, and you shouldn’t and you couldn’t push yourself beyond that, ever. Which means, you’ll always be an underperformer, and not good enough. Not making enough progress, ever. Through no fault of your own.

Or, so you believe.

Because you simply don’t know, that you should just do the thing, even if you have no energy for it, whatsoever.
