You don't deserve to be let off the hook.

I know you have goals, motherfcker.

Why aren't they done?

Stop reading this, and spend 3 minutes looking in the mirror, asking that question.

No phone, no music, you, and the mirror that never lies.

You're not going to want to think about it.

But the thought will be there.

I am lazy.

Check your screen time. If there is more than an hour on any social media? YOU ARE LAZY.

How often every day do you have time, all to yourself, no music, no phone, just you and a boring task, like making breakfast? If never? YOU'RE F*ckING LAZY.

If you get the urge to do a workout or some deep work or whatever it is, how long does it take you to do it?

A minute?

Ten?

An hour?

Do you make an excuse and not do it at all?

Get some goddamn self-control.


(note: this is a letter I wrote to myself. I found it extremely helpful and my hope is you will too. Obviously, this is not for EVERYONE.)

Before you label yourself as being inherently lazy, you should ask yourself a different question:

Has the modern, pathological lifestyle of endless and mindless consumption of digital entertainment hijacked your entire nervous system from its very core?

Imagine trying to enjoy a salad after you've binged on cheeseburgers, fries, soda, and chocolate.

Not very appealing, right?

The same thing happens with work:

You cannot enjoy the process of hard work if you're trying to "balance" things out by staying glued to a screen for 10 hours a day and overflowing your dopamine receptors with garbage.



The human brain is not stupid.

It will ALWAYS go to the highest reward available for the least amount of effort.

That's why you have alcoholics, drug addicts, and young people who are scrolling their lives away on their phones - one day at a time.

It's not laziness. It's self-induced neurological impairment.
