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

Quality of Life
A quote I have recently stumbled upon and has stayed with me since is Annie Dillard’s
How I work on any problem statement
Be it writing articles, playbooks, or a strategic plan, it all starts with writing.
Day 15 - Routine
Making habits is so hard. Some routines give contentment and some give fruitful results but for some routines we don’t see any results. There may be results but it’s not visible enough. Like the daily writing we are doing now. We wonder how it helps to blurt out the ramblin...
Day 1 - I have no idea
Trying my hand at writing for 30 days straight. I have no idea what I am gonna write though. Sometimes I feel I’d probably write more if there was a knife which would start running behind me the moment I stop writing. Isn’t every day like this? I don’t clean the room until it’s s...
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...
A hard day
Don’t let the title worry you too much. Now as I think about it, it wasn’t that hard a day. It felt hard, though, while I was living it.
