Day 50 of my challenge has been reached, and it is hereby officially concluded. Behind me are 50 days in which I have intensely engaged with a topic every day. I have learned, experimented, and tried new things. I have solved problems and discovered new perspectives. I have faced challenges and overcome many of them.
It's the penultimate day of my challenge, and there's something I need to get off my chest before the finale. There's something I've learned that is incredibly important: the willingness to start fresh every day.
Sometimes I feel a little stuck. Often, there are just too many options, and I find myself examining each one carefully, wondering which I should choose. Do I go left or do I go right? Which path brings me closer to my goal?
I often catch myself getting distracted instead of just picking an option.
One thing drives me absolutely crazy: the unimaginably large amount of consumption. I'm not talking about societal consumption as a whole, since everything about that has already been said.
If you want to change, you need to know where you want to go. You need a very concrete idea of what should be. Merely wishing for change leads to aimless wandering. Aimlessness leads to dissatisfaction, which then reinforces the desire for change.
A process of change can only begin once you have a very concrete vision of your goal.
Here is a simple method: Imagine your life in the future and write it down.
Consider multiple time periods and ask yourself the following questions:
You can read 5 books on increasing your productivity and achieve exactly the opposite: namely, nothing. Reading a book means you're not starting a project. Productivity equals zero.
Important point for me. I used to think too much about WHAT I was doing instead of just doing it. I rolled every decision back and forth for too long instead of just getting started.
Wrong, because that way you're doing the fourth step before the third.
Look:
Actually, succeeding is quite simple: just do what you believe needs to be done and everything will be fine. It just doesn't work, and it's definitely not because you don't know what to do. At the start of my productivity challenge, I spent a lot of time on strategic planning. I asked myself how I even know which path to take and how can I be sure it's the right one. I thought all along that I just needed to find the right path and everything would be fine. That's precisely the misconception.
