just do it

all actions are hard

thinking about motivation

• i wish there was a magic pill or a series of incantations that would give me motivation
• that would allow me to do my work pain-free
• "i just can't get up in the morning, go to bed at night"

but there's no way around it

• the earlier you learn this truth, the easier it gets

you can't dwell on the bitterness but rather have to accept it

upside: the aftertaste is sweet

it's a marathon

• i would procrastinate -> do everything right before the deadline
• this is like entering a food eating contest, sitting there for 5 minutes, and then stuffing 50 hot dogs simultaneously
• obviously it would feel like the world's hardest task
• but it doesn't have to be this way, as long as you are persistent
• and it's easy and manageable if you do things one at a time
