Ridiculous. The effective way to stick to hard goals is to figure out how to enjoy them. Weight lifting is difficult and strenuous, and when I first encountered it I found it ridiculous and demeaning (because I was terrible at it). I set goals, researched it, and did it long enough it became a habit I can't live without. Not doing it is more psychologically and physically painful to me than breaking my back on deadlifts at this point. Same thing took place learning physics, software development and machine learning. I'm presently experiencing the lighting hundred dollar bills on fire every day (except they're thousand dollar bills) in that I've started a company. This is painful, and not in a motivating way. The easiest thing to do is to stop lighting money on fire and get a day job. It would be a lot easier to quit lighting money on fire and lifting weights if lighting money on fire was the only thing keeping me going to the gym.
