Hey Akash how are you doing today?

It seems to me that lately you’ve been too focused on consuming rather than producing. It’s like, if I only I’d learn about this, if I only knew this, If only…, then I can start producing. But do you see the falacy here? I’m pretty certain you see the falacy. In fact, I’d argue that you see it clear as day and yet you choose to follow along with that cause the other thing is downright terifying to you. I mean to go on your own and build it yourself? that scares you man. And you’re doing everything you can to avoid that. But it doesn’t have to be that way. I mean you can still be scared, but you can learn to do things despite of fear. Here are the things I’d suggest to you,

1. divide your problem into smaller chunks. If you don’t know how to divide, take the end goal and walk backwards from there on. For example, if your goal is to run a marathon, think of what needs to happen before you can do? And keep asking yourself that rcursively until you reach the smallest goal that needs to happen

2. eliminate all fluff and focus on the single smallest chunk You don’t need to learn anything new, just focus on the smallest chunk and build/do it.

3. Build momentum by keeping it consistent You need to keep pushing on your smaller chunks everyday. This will build momentum and create chain reactions that’ll keep you energized and motivated

4. Have follow ups with me regularly You need to periodically take a step back, see what worked and what didn’t. This will also help you release all the frustrations and tension you may have built up in your sprint.

5. Breathe through your negative emotions We’ve already talked about this a few times so I’m not going to dwell on that but you know what to do

This these things should help you move forward when you feel distracted. Try them out and let me know how it goes!

Thanks and have a powerful day my friend
Akash
