I know this is some really basic stuff, and most successfull enterpreneurs will answer with "Yeah obviously, duh" but I still want to post it because it would helped my past self and therfore maybe even someone who reads it.
Even though I had holidays and I had a good execution, I could have done so much better!
My problem was I did worked only when I wanted, luckily it was often! But I also only focused on the parts I was currently interested in (when I felt like reading I read, when i felt like programming I programmed).
And when I thought "Yeah I did so much today, I think I deserve to watch some Youtube" I watched for multiple hours. Sometimes I even watched the type of things where you do not want to get cought by your mom. So in conclusion, the last 6 weeks I worked inefficent and did not used the time I had.
But yesterday for some reason shortly before going to bed it hit me. And I realised that we need to do what me must do, instead of what we feel like.
Discipline is not doing good things the entire time.
It is doing those things when we do not feel like doing them.
The world, god and other humans do not care what we want and how we feel today to do something. Therfore we must focus on what we must do. It is exacly like going to school/work, or going to the gym. We must do it.
As a Christian I therfore created my personal Mantra that Discipline and Hardship bring heaven, but of course you can just chnage it in success or freedom.
Also I am currently training to focus only on what I must do and then do it.
I worked for the last 5 hours (and will soon go to sleep because tomorrow starts school again). I did not wanted to but I knew i had to! I made amazing progress that would have needed 2or3 days with my past mentality.
Therfore listen to Goggins and not feelgood Influencers if you want to make progress.
And please tell me your opinion on that discipline, workhard topic.
PS: Sorry for my bad english, feel free to point out my mistakes. My english teacher will thank you in the future
