telling your brain "i know you don't wanna do the thing and it'll be very uncomfortable for you at first but you can do it buddy. it'll be fine" is actually surprisingly effective. it sounds too simple but that fuckass organ WILL listen to you if you treat it with kindness lol

Ten lazy years can disappear the moment you lock in. Six months of discipline can erase a decade of drifting. Momentum is magic. It turns yesterday's failures into tomorrow's fuel.

my life changed the moment I heard someone say that working out should be a celebration of what your body can do, not punishment for what you ate

whoever said "if nobody is coming to save you, that probably means nobody is coming to stop you either" changed my life

FUNMAXXING

You never learned how to live. Nothing is serious. Talk to people. You can do anything. Tomorrow doesn’t exist. Don’t overthink. Just do it. Create things because why not. Seek novelty. Pursue eternal joy. Play for fun. Give yourself more credit. Be an example of what life can look like.

If you understood the absurdity of everything, your worries would fade, and you would come closer to achieving peace.

Balance is key.

You must learn how to make progress while still making time for fun.

Zlatan Ibrahimović and Tom Brady both admit they never enjoyed winning a single thing in their careers

Zlatan: "Did you ever enjoy your achievements when you were active?"

Tom: "No"

Zlatan: "Same thing. I never enjoyed whatever I won. I always wanted more. Even now as a person, if I look back, yes I did what I did, but still I'm not satisfied. I cannot really enjoy it because I want more. And I'm not even playing"

Tom: "We had a great saying. There was an equipment manager at Michigan, Big Johnny. People would ask him, 'Big Johnny, what's your favorite ring?' He would always say, the next one"

Scientists shut off the dopamine in some rats and they stopped eating. Food everywhere. They starved in a full cage, not because they hated it. Put sugar on their tongue and they licked their lips. They still liked it. They just lost the drive to go get it.

This is one of the strangest things we know about the brain, and it traces back to a researcher named Kent Berridge at the University of Michigan. Your head runs two different systems. One is wanting, the push that gets you off the couch and moving. The other is liking, the good feeling once you are in it. Dopamine runs the wanting. The enjoyment runs on separate wiring. So you can be sure you will love something and still feel almost no pull to start it.

That is the man in the cartoon, swinging at rock with diamonds all around him. He could see the good stuff. He just could not make himself dig toward it.

Once you see why, the usual story about procrastination stops making sense. We say lazy, or bad with time. Mostly, it is neither. Two psychologists, Fuschia Sirois and Tim Pychyl, argued back in 2013 that it runs on emotion. A task makes you feel something you would rather not feel, even just the small dread of starting, and putting it off makes that feeling vanish on the spot. So you scroll, or you suddenly need to clean the kitchen. Dodging the task is a quick hit of relief, and your brain grabs it. The bill goes straight to future-you, who is left holding the guilt and the deadline.

You can even see it on a brain scan. In 2018, a team in Germany scanned 264 people and matched the scans against how much each person put things off. The big procrastinators had a larger amygdala, the little alarm bell deep in the brain that flags anything risky. They also had a weaker link to the part meant to quiet that alarm and get you moving, a region called the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex. Loud alarm, weak off-switch.

And if this is you, you have plenty of company. A big 2007 review found that 80 to 95 percent of college students procrastinate, that roughly one in five adults does it long-term, and that more than 95 percent of them wish they could quit. Students alone burn about a third of their day on it.

The fix falls out of that same split. If wanting and liking are two different systems, then waiting to "feel like it" is waiting for a bus that may never come. The main treatment for the severe version, called behavioral activation, flips the order. You start first, as small as you can stand, before any motivation shows up. The wanting tends to arrive a few minutes after you begin. The diamonds were there the whole time. You just have to swing the pick before you feel ready.

FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT

Become arrogant. Make others gossip about you. Break social rules. Be unapologetic about your actions. Act from your highest will. Remain hopeful no matter what. Walk like you own the place. Move like a winner. Rest because you deserve it. Get things because you want them.

Reality responds to those who live as if they already have the things they’ve always wanted.

Hard work is a lie.

Let reality bend to your will.

Julius Caesar was so deeply in debt in his 30s that his creditors tried to stop him from leaving Rome. He left anyway, went to Spain, conquered it, and came back rich and powerful.

Yes, you can start all over again.
