One thing I learnt from reading all sorts of blogs, posts, notes, and books of this genre is it really gets down to ironically “just doing it”.
And people know that. - they desire inspiration or a more dignified purpose to start, but once it starts running, progress fuels itself. You need to know when to stop looking for that inspiration, because nothing substitutes for action.
Personally I like to employ a combination of the **Hemingway Hack** + Self-Awareness — when I **start** to feel the ignition, I immediately promise myself to just 10 minutes of work. Sometimes you need to put a ceiling on that time so you don’t wait for something forever before starting though.
Once I do start, the 10 minutes, more often than not become 30 minutes, an hour, or more.
This is great advice on how to address the current environment! I've been taking many of these steps in my daily life and it has been a huge improvement. I've set daily time limits on social media apps and it has significantly reduced my time wasted on scrolling, just to waste time. I've been reading more books and focusing on my health and time with family, and I am much happier for it.
