I realised the fastlane about 6 months ago. After that i decided i wanted to quit video-games and quit wasting my time watching netflix. Since then, i've read about 9 books, and started lifting/excersicing regularly. I feel like i'm stuck doing this over and over, and i know it won't help me all that much with my entreprenaurial journey. I'm sure this is a common question here on this forum and i might get hate from writing such a thread like this. How did you get out of this endless cycle? How can you make definite progress from this position?
Thanks in regards.
