Welcome to 2020. Time to get back to work. I first heard of this video several months ago and I was struck at how much this description resonated with me and my charactere. I think that it boils down to whether you really want to do something or not and how difficult it may be.
I think that you have to be intellectually honest with yourself on that subject. Like this project for instance. I have wanted to do something like this for years, but as you can see I have made little progress. It will also be difficult to make some income, let alone a living right now.
Almost daily, while I was on vacation I thought “If I was really doing this blog as a job, I would be posting daily, despite being on vacation”. The platform is mobile enabled, so I could have done it with my phone – but that’s much harder than using a computer. So I didn’t.
“When I get back, I will have all these ideas”. I still do, it has taken me five days to get back into the swing of things.
“When I work for myself, I can arrange my own schedule”. Yes, but if you dont work during the day, you still need to do it in the evening.
Hopefully this year, I will move beyond some of my own Toolbox Fallacy. I encourage you to look critically at yours.
