Hey GrayHats, this is my first post and maybe the best one to start... Don't go down this road again... I can see you have a similar problem as I did, but am slowly recovering. You are a sort of perfectionist and want your start to be perfect... Let go of the new start idea , the new beginnings, Mondays and 1st of the month. You gotta accept who you are and decide on a clear goal so you can focus and work your bottoms of until achieving it. Don't give up... Do something and start slowly, then gradually increase the dosage of work. And in years to come you'll look back and wonder why didn't you let go of this ungrateful habit before.
Regards, Ace
Yes, i can see myself as a perfectionist..But i'm trying to change that. That's why i took action and start this journey even though i'm far perfect (haven't touch 6hour/day mark yet).
When i make this journey, i believe that i can reach 6hours/day easily. Sadly, the reality i'm far from reaching it. But it's okay, i start slow like you said and gradually increase my work quota. I don't see this as a failure, but as a journey..a process, even a slow one..
It's like those people who start journey and aim for "$1000/day" even though they haven't earned yet. The difference is, I use time as the variable, not money.
Your journey was to work for 6 hours each day.
In the first 4 days you worked for less than 2 hours in total.
Honestly, you weren't serious about it in the first place. You were just trying to convince yourself you were serious.
Yes, i'm serious and will reach my goal
I have read this and I am physically laughing at it, this is by the far the most funny thread I have ever come across.
OP, this has to be a troll? you cannot be serious.
You can't work for more than 15 mins? Is your mother a gold fish?
Respect to you though, at least your honest.
Now let me help you....
I work 80(ish) hours per week.
12 hours 6 days a week.
Why? Because I'm driven. I know that if I do my work it will lead to a successful life.
You are here on this earth for 80 years then you are gone for the rest of time. If you want to waste you 80 years playing clash of clans and doing sod all then keep doing that.
If you want to live an extraordinary life then you need to do extraordinary things.
Sitting on here telling us how you are failing won't help you, it really won't.
What work are you actually doing? (well none apparently...) but what are you supposed to be doing?
Whats you plan?
Also, this meditating time, thats BS.
6 hours per day is nothing. You spend more time sleeping.
Your reward system is broken. If you think you deserve a break after 15 mins of work you are severely broken.
What is it you want? a car? girls? a house? a dog? new graphic card for clash of clans and candy crush?
Pick a goal and work towards it.
Also statements like "to pick up a new habit you have to do it for 2 weeks to 3 months" is so stupid. Habits are for life, not for 2 weeks to 3 months.
You are thinking about this all too much
Good for you, but this is not a joke thread and i'm serious in reaching my goals. I don't care if you think meditation is BS, it works for me and i got benefit from it.
Who said that habit are not for life? That's why it's called a habit. I started this journey to "force" myself doing work for 6hours/day..Hopefully it'll become a habit (for life) after 30 days constantly doing it without breaking the chain.
Best luck man.
Thanks man!
I can also see myself here. I will follow your updates
Thank you, i hope my journey can benefit you to increase your productivity.
I totally agree with you, I'm myself a lazy guy sometimes, but we need to stop to jerk off and work, if not we will never see the sucess online!
Yup, let's be productive!
how to become more productive ?
Make a Sale on Clickbank / Amazon or start getting some CPA Conversions
prior to seeing that this really does work - it is hard to see light at end of the tunnel.
I once set a content locker on a sports site for the super bowl - and after $190 in 35 minutes I realized that this stuff does actually work - if you take action.
all the best.
Funny thing is, i already got sale and saw the light at end of the tunnel, i know what i do now works for me. But I still don't take massive action..that's why i created this journey to become more productive
15 mins of work per day! I am guessing that you are in the very early stages of IM so anything really classes as work. Try reading BHW for 6 hours or learning how to code or something. Then try to focus your time on specific tasks. Just saying yes I am going to sit here for 6 hours isn't really motvating, especially when you don't have a strategy to make money. Just keep trying!
As i said in the previous reply, i'm not in the early stages of IM. I'm way past reading methods for hours. I already have to-do list and daily task. The problem is, i haven't managed to do it for 6hours/day..But i know I'll reach it soon
I dont usually name call, but YOU DONKEY! How is reading bhw for 6 hours beneficial. God damn, don't spread advice this bad!!
Couldn't agree more..reading bhw for 6 hours is not productive for me..unless your method require you to increase your post count and gained authority in this forum.
Day 6
Nothing much, only work for 30min..but hey it's something
Day 7
New record! I worked for 2 hours...1 hour in the morning plus 1 hour at night before i updated this journey.
What change? After i woke up, i wash my face..drink plenty of water..and start working.. Too bad, after 1 hour working..I can't resist the temptation playing Clash of Clans..Lol..
Thankfully I managed to add 1 hour work at night
