Productivity tips to kill procrastination and some random wisdom

ZiggyZig said:

One thing that I think could be helpful though I rarely do it - make a deadline to do the imp things by a certain time in the morning. After that you can chill for the rest of the day and you'll be guilt-free! When I leave the important things for later I don't want to be doing them but I do still suffer from that stress of having to do them.

1) Never say "i should", always say "i must".

2) Deadlines, you need deadlines for everything so that you see that you have less and less time available.

3) Visualize deadlines with countdown timers, buy a huge countdown timer (i have a 100 day countdown timer, you need to see that go from 99 days, 23 hours, 59 mins, 59 secs to 0 days left).

4) Realize that "life is short" is not just a quote teens get tattooed, life IS short, and you're already late, so get to work.

5) You will only live about 900 months (75 years), if you're 25 years old you've already wasted 300 months, and you'll be spending about 200 of the remaining 600 months SLEEPING, you do the math.
You're literally THAT CLOSE to being 60 years old without having ever done anything in your life.

6) You got one life, this is not a test life to prepare for the real one, this already is the real one.

7) You can achieve pretty much any goal in less than 3 years, that means that if you start working today you will only be able to see the effect of that action months from now, up to 3 years.

8) Fall in love with failure. Success comes from failing thousands of times, not from doing stuff the right way on first try. Also, success is not permanent, when you reach success you work to make sure you'll be safe when things will go bad, cus they will go very bad many times.

9) Anything you think you should be doing tomorrow or later today you should've done that yesterday, last week, last month, last year. YOU'RE LATE, so stop wasting your time.

10) Procrastination is you watching your life HAPPEN, not you LIVING your life. And cool stuff doesn't just "happen", you have to make it happen.

11) Realize you ARE NOT your body, you're not your mind either, that's why you say "my body" and "my mind", you know you're not your body, you are YOU, your mind is a tool YOU use to analyze data and create new thoughts and ideas, your body is the tool you use to make those ideas real.
Take care of both like any tool that requires maintenance, you won't find spare parts easily.

12) You're late, but it's never too late. It's only too late when you think it's too late and you give up.
You never really fail if you keep going, you only fail when you stop failing, cus that makes that last failure permanent.

13) Get the best sleep you can possibly get.


That's pretty much it, might add something new if i get new ideas.
