impact grows over time this applies to your finances Health relationships and even your personal growth the choices you make today can bring you success or cause setbacks later in life the good news is being productive doesn't just mean working non-stop spending time Outdoors getting good sleep having meaningful conversations with family and friends these are all productive but wasting time on things that bring you no value that's a different story The Pain really kicks in when you realize how much potential you've already thrown away here's a clear example how many times have you opened Netflix scrolled
for what feels like forever and still found nothing to watch that's a huge sign you're wasting time if you truly enjoy something great have your fun but if it's less than a 7 out of 10 on the enjoyment scale you're just wasting your life you're Trading your future for short-term pleasure and that's a betrayal to yourself so stop wasting time get back to work stop talking about what you want to do and actually do it cut out the noise podcasts social media anything that's holding you back get back to focusing on what really matters procrastination
is just a way to relieve stress we do it when we don't know what to do or how to get what we want but like any bad habit but it gets worse if you keep feeding it the more you give into comfort and instant gratification the harder it will be to break out of it if you want to kill procrastination you need to stop giving into it instead start building good habits by delaying gratification and adding discipline to your life if you're serious about your goals get rid of anything that distracts you otherwise you'll stay
