run of the mill procrastination problems
this is my standard word salad
here’s the thing
most things you put off
who is gonna do it?
you, no one else
who did create that pile of dirt
and who cleaned that pile of dirt?
eventually?
you did
you had to
there is no choice doing vs not
there is only one choice
do it badly vs not
do it later vs now
do it hard vs easy
unbelievable you consistently choose hard over easy
pick actual hard things to do
actual out in the real world problems
problems worth solving
problems that when solved brings value
doing it in a shitty way is not the hard we want
I wish this on no one
why must you procrastinate your dreams?
you want, the things you want, later?
you want it ‘later’ huh?
it would be so bad no if you can get to them sooner?
putting off stuff you don’t like to do, results in ALSO procrastinating your dreams
you gotta go go through the bad stuff to get to the good stuff, most of the time
time is linear, and the blast radius on this 2d line is one way
bombing the future literally

How I work on any problem statement
Be it writing articles, playbooks, or a strategic plan, it all starts with writing.
On satisficing — a bet on human irrationality
When consumers can’t determine the optimal solution, they give a brand the power of their decisions. It’s why many choose Apple, because they’ve abrogated the rationality of choice. This has to be viewed with care though. The corollary of it is valid too. Think about the below st...

The Minimalist Mindset
I used to be one of those who tried to do everything at once. You know the kind, of juggling a million things, trying to be the best at everything - school, work, home stuff, being the best daughter, mother, wife, friend, you name it. I was always told I was the \"Pillar\" of the...
