discussion I havent been motivated to create in years and nobody sym/empathizes
I always wanted to create things, code stories, even art fantasies of being adored have jumped into my head but for some reason I cant get motivated to follow through because somebody is always doing better, hogging more spotlight and respect.
And when I say Ive been crafting ideas for this for decades but was never blessed with the skills to bring it to life, I GET MOCKED OR LOOKED DOWN ON!?
Do they think it's easy to pick up on and catch up?
I dont know how. I feel like I gotta go big or go home... but Ive been stuck at home for far to long

GEN Z loses more than 5 years of their life with THIS habit text
Yes catchy headline, I know, but hear me out.
All of us spend way too much time on scrolling through feeds, Youtube and Tiktok.
According to APA, the average time spent on Youtube, TikTok and Instagram is minimum 4 hours.
That's a whopping 60 days per year, which equals 5 years in 30 years.
I believe it's about time that we change radically. Here's one thing that will probably save you a lot of precious lifetime. I'd like to share it with you today.
Go to Youtube, click History -> Manage all History -> Controls -> TURN OFF (first button at the top)
With this, you will deactivate your Youtube feed permanently. I can't tell you how happy I am to have done this and how much time I have now for different things. You can likely do this with other platforms as well.

Break the shell early [Article]
Most of the time when I wake up, I feel like my mind has a shell on it.
This shell, makes thinking very vague, makes me distracted, anxious.
Not fully aware of time, and most of the time the shell breaks, but very late in the day
However, once the shell breaks.. I feel normal again, very aware, productive and sane.
**For years this has been the case, and every time I realize how important braking the shell early is.**
It makes your day better in every way,
How to break it?
* Realize that you have to **suffer** for a bit, at the start of each day.
* The shell is not that **shallow**, it requires focus and commitment to finish your first task that is heavy.
* Do it, **despite** of the pain, despite of the feeling uncomfortable, distracted
* Now that you have accepted that you will feel pain in the process, it makes it easier
* Write all of your takes in a clear way, an example that worked with me:
* (Task) (Expected How long it takes)
* (Bullet points on how to do it)
* (Bullet points on how to do it)
* Real life example:
* Access Review Report (30 Minutes)
* Check the email from John that has all the report statistics
* Download the template from internal Sharepoint portal
* Fill the require info from the email into the report
I have been working overtime for years, missing deadlines and feeling stressed most of the time.
I have grey hair in my beard,
I believe that I wouldn't have that much suffering I have been breaking the shell early in the day.
My mind see everything completely different once the shell breaks.
**BREAK THE SHELL EARLY GUYS/GIRLS**. It helps.

Practical steps to Create Time for Your Passions:
Identify Your Priorities
To find motivation, start by pinpointing what you want to make time for. What activities bring you joy and fulfilment: because they are creating the life, and the legacy, you have chosen for yourself. Create a list of compelling reasons that resonate with your emotions and your sense of purpose.
Maximise Your Mornings
Mornings are often underutilised. Instead of hitting the snooze button, try going to bed earlier and waking up earlier. Mornings are ideal for tackling meaningful activities with fresh energy and focus. Doing something towards your chosen future early in the day puts it in the bank – minimising the impact of those thousand and one things that can arise throughout the day.
Recognise Time Wasters
We all have habits that drain our time. Spend a day tracking how you spend your time and identify patterns of inefficiency. Once you're aware of these habits, you can take steps to eliminate them.
Create a Structured Schedule
A well-planned schedule is key to effective time management – remember to balance routine with spontaneity and contingency. It keeps you on track and ensures you're dedicating time to your priorities. Incorporate time for leisure and passions into your routine. Understand both the importance and urgency of what is on your plate: prioritise importance over urgency. Schedule the important stuff only.
Delegate Tasks
Free up your time by delegating tasks at work and home. Colleagues, family members, and friends can often take on responsibilities, giving you more time to focus on what you love. Think win / win: what do you presently do that others would get benefit out of doing?
Prioritise and Simplify
Sometimes, less is more. Evaluate your commitments and identify non-essential activities. Streamline your schedule by cutting out tasks that don't add significant value to your life.
You can make time if you have a compelling reason. Determine what you want to create time for and make it happen by delegating, scheduling, and eliminating time-wasting habits. Immerse yourself in the present moment and focus on what truly matters to you. We all have the same 168 hours a week – how are you choosing to spend yours? What are you willing to give up to pursue your passions?

43/F/US Looking for an upbeat accountability / motivation partner! :) Discussion
Hi! Hope you're having a great day! :) I've been doing a low-carb eating plan similar to keto most of this year and have lost weight and it's going well most of the time.
Lately, I've been eating more carbs and sugar than I want, and I want to get back on the low-carb weight loss path.
I'd love to meet a great, upbeat person to chat with once a day or so to check in with each other about our goals and encourage each other.
I don't want it to be a "crack the whip" type thing, haha - just friendly supporting each other to make good choices and cheering each other on.
Your goal doesn't also have to be low carb eating and weight loss, your goal could be anything. :)
I'm looking to chat with a person over 25 please, and if you're a guy, I only feel comfy chatting if you're single.
Please comment here or send me a message if you're interested! Have a great day, and I look forward to hearing from you! :)

flowcharts and tried to understand why I held certain beliefs and why I made certain decisions. When I found that those beliefs were not supporting my goals, I read books to help me better understand where they came from and how to change them. When I found decisions that led me to make choices that didn’t align with what I was accomplishing, I tried to understand why I made those choices and change them. Was there a pattern of behavior over time? If so, why? I focused my discipline, motivation, and time on finding these key leverage points in my search for health, wealth, and happiness. I used to ask people for book recommendations. After I started following this process, I didn’t have to ask anyone for book recommendations anymore because I was constantly trying to solve a bottleneck in my attempt to reach my goals.
I built my day around the habits and routines that would move me closer to my vision. When I was at my rock bottom, I didn’t know what to do with my weekends during the day. I used to waste them doing a lot of nothing. I ended up getting a part-time job at a gym that would allow me to build wealth and give me access to a place to work out. I read books where there were bottlenecks in pursuit of my goals. I went to networking events at night to meet people that could help me on my journey. I built routines around what I was trying to accomplish and leveraged systems thinking to make sure I had feedback loops, understood time delays (things don’t change instantly or linearly). Over time, those routines became habits, freeing up the mental capacity to create more routines.
I know this post was long. And for some people, it won’t be long enough. But I wanted to get this message out to people in hopes it helps you. I’d love any feedback you have or questions that I can answer.
If you are looking to improve yourself, keep going. You are on the right path. It’s the best way that I have found to win.

Discussion What do you tell yourself to prevent relapsing on a bad habit?
After quitting my addictions over the past 2 years (porn, phone addiction, junk food, gaming, etc.) I've come to realize that reaffirming something to yourself can almost instantly destroy a craving by making the bad habit less rewarding.
For me, I remind myself of the big goals I have in life in entrepreneurship and beyond, and that every indulgence in my bad habits prevents me from living my dreams.
In this way, telling yourself something is a good way to make QUITTING feel REWARDING.
Let us know what has worked for you, and feel free to DM me for any addiction-quitting advice.

I was popular and social growing up but as I got older I got depressed and ashamed at where I was in life.. I kind of stopped going to parties.. I missed weddings and stopped going out with friends... Things eventually fell apart.. It's years later now and I'm miserable.. Is there any possible way to fix my reputation? No one really messages me anymore and I have zero friends... Not to mention I'm back in school online and it seems difficult to meet new people... Do I have any options?

My first heartbreak, can't seem to move on and need suggestion Story
I miss him. I still do. It's been a year since he stopped talking to me but I haven't been able to forget him for a moment. I still remember our texts, our conversations, whatever few we had. We were friends then started a long distance relationship and for 2 years we maintained that. We didn't have chances to see each other yet I loved him like crazy. Now he's gone, I can't see him, talk to him yet when I close my eyes, I only see him. I prayed so many times to get him back, nothing happened. I don't know what to do now. I don't know if I'll ever be able to love someone again. I'm going through a devastating phase and nothing is helping me. Definitely, heartbreak is a reason, but there are many others as well. I just don't know what to do. It's so easy for some to move on and so difficult for others. It's notably more difficult for me because I'm extremely emotional since childhood. But I've decided to get over this trauma. I need tips on how to motivate myself to work only on myself. I cry every single day and it's taking a toll on both my physical and mental health. Any good suggestion is welcome! Tips on controlling emotion might be more important for me.

Text 10 things to know about discipline
1. Self discipline is the ability to do what you need to do to reach your goals. This is where discipline starts, have a clear goal. Without a clear goal, you won't know where to put your efforts.
2. Have a strong why. A clear goal isn't enough to warrant discipline. You must have a strong reason to achieve your goal. With a strong enough 'why' the reps come easier.
3. Your emotions get in the way. The enemy of discipline is emotions. You know you should go to the gym, but you don't feel like it. You want to lose weight but crave cheesecake. The reps you don't feel like doing are the ones that keep you on track.
4. Audit your day. Write everything you do as you go through the day. Before bed, review your list and note what doesn't align with your goals. Tomorrow, make it a priority not to do them again.
5. Visualize achieving your goals. Your brain can't tell the difference between real and imagined outcomes. Imagine achieving your goals visually and your brain will feel it's already accomplished it. Putting you in a state to take action.
6. Do valuable tasks first. What's the most valuable task you could do today to move closer to your goals? Make it a habit to do it when you first wake up. Before email, messages, and boring tasks clutter your calendar.
7. Start small. Change too many habits at once and you're guaranteed to revert to your old habits. Pick one thing you'd like to change. Make it a habit. Repeat.
8. Have friends hold you accountable. Use social pressure as a motivator. Ask your friends, business partners, or spouse to hold you accountable to your goals. Then rise to the occasion. Don't let them down.
9. Don't expect to be perfect. We can't all be Dwayne Johnson. There will be days when you don't practice discipline. Don't beat yourself up. Just start again tomorrow.
10. Take care of yourself. Discipline becomes increasingly difficult as you get tired. Get plenty of sleep, stay hydrated, eat healthy, exercise. Discipline will always be easier when you're feeling good.

discussion can fear & shame hinder you from taking actions ?
Sometimes I don't even understand why am I simply not doing the things I should be doing even though I know I should be doing it.. and I'm still not able to figure out exactly what is that is preventing it. At first I thought I need first clarity then I'll take actions. Now it feels like fear & shame are the hurdle because I'm afraid of being judged, fail and I surely lack confidence. Sometimes it's the shame feeling like why I'm doing this now. I should've started a long time ago.
I guess my mind is just playing games to avoid taking actions for self improvement. Sighs, I just want to overcome my goals so I can build resilience to face bigger goals. And I'm already giving up on my first step. How will I face life if I continue hiding from my fears

Tool Lose weight, build wealth, and live happier. I did it. You can too. Here’s how.
I believe in the values of honesty, resilience, and personal responsibility, believing that by staying truthful, persevering through challenges, and taking ownership of our actions, we can achieve meaningful success. It was hard to hang on to those values when I was at rock bottom.
Rock bottom: When I was 32, I was broke, divorced, overweight, and angry at the world. I didn’t own a car, I was renting out a room because I didn’t have enough money for first and last month’s rent, and I was walking to work. Most nights out of the week, I would spend at a bar a block and a half from where I was staying with the other recently divorced guys. I had a good job, but had made a lot of bad decisions.
Today: I’m remarried and happier than I have ever been. I am self-employed. My wife and I own our own business, set our own schedule, and get to work on the things that make us happy. I am the best shape of my life. What got me from there to here: thinking in systems.
I read a bunch of self-help books and financial literacy books. They established a foundation but weren’t really good at helping me with the problems I had at the moment. How do I build wealth? How do I get healthy and lose weight? How do I feel happy? I worked on improving systems and processes at work, so I decided to start using the same tools in my personal life. I did these four things:
Created a vision for my life and identified which values were most important to me.
Understood the external systems around me that were impacting my life.
Focused on moving the numbers that mattered.
Built my day around the habits and routines that would move me (and my numbers) closer to my vision.
I know, creating a vision for your life sounds touchy-feely, but hear me out. I got crystal clear on a specific day in the future. The day I achieved financial independence. Some people call this ‘retirement age’ but I like to think of it as the chance to choose what I want to do freely, without the worry about paying for my lifestyle. When I did some research, I learned that people typically retire around the age of 65. I wanted that year moved up as soon as possible. Every dollar I saved and invested would move the day I achieved financial independence sooner. In addition, life expectancy at the time was around 72 years old. So that means I would have spent 40 years working, to enjoy 7 years of freedom. That didn’t seem right to me. So I also committed to pushing out that life expectancy and the quality of that life as far out into the future as possible.
So, on my ‘vision for my life graph’, it was pretty simple: Move the financial independence year to the left and move the life expectancy year to the right. Get healthy. Build wealth. I wanted to do it the right way, which meant doing this within the confines of the values that are most important to me.
First, systems thinking is different from the linear thinking we are taught in school. Linear thinking asks us to exclusively look for cause and effect. If x happens, then y is the result. The challenge, of course, is that getting healthy, building wealth, and finding happiness are more complex. Systems thinking allows a framework to think about things more holistically. So I started considering health, wealth, and happiness together, as interconnected pieces, as opposed to individual parts. Rather than focusing just on losing weight or budgeting, I thought of them as parts of an entire system. Secondly, we are surrounded by external systems. Those systems have an impact on our ability to achieve goals. I tried to study the systems that were impacting me, determine if they were helpful or hurtful to moving my numbers, and then took action. Some external systems I eliminated from my life. Most external systems I changed how I interacted with them.
I focused on moving the numbers that mattered. I zeroed in on the weight I had to lose, the money I needed to save, and the happiness I wanted to find. I mapped out different
