Motivation isn't a real thing. Stop leaning on it and waiting for it to show up out of the blue and support you.
Discipline is what you need. Sucks to hear, sorry for that.
Trust me on this: you told yourself it's easy. So do it. It's easy. If you don't, these inactions will low key create self hatred. You'll fall behind before you realize it, be inundated with work, and your subconscious will think back to this moment. All you'll hear is "Fuck this I hate this this sucks" maybe even "I hate myself".
Don't let it get there.
It's easy? Prove it.
If you get shit done while being true to yourself, self-hate is genuinely difficult.
Motivation is why you want to do a thing.
Discipline is how you achieve that thing.
I knew it, but how to discipline myself? How to start?
As shallow as it may sound, just start. Set a timer for 5 minutes and do it fir just 5 minutes. When the timer is up I bet you will continue.
ok, I'll try it, thx
