Do you offer your work for free? It‘s a fair comparison for EU+US market in my eyes. For EU customers data export has to be possible

  Yes, thus this advise is free: And no one should spend 4.50 on coffee. It's a bad habit - spending it on absolving oneself from procrastination is even worse. Better spend $10 on "Getting things done" and reread it every month or so.

      Was it worth it?
      • alar44 5y ago
        Yes as it takes me approximately 5 minutes to earn that money.

          5 Minutes? That's quite quick. It sure seems like you are proud of you ability to earn money this fast.

    Different things work for different people and oftentimes the difficult part of habit forming is the accountability piece. If you're great at holding yourself accountable then maybe re-reading Getting Things Done every month will work for you, or you can just change things through sheer willpower. If you need something else to help keep yourself accountable then maybe $9 a month for an app that tries to make it into a game will work, or maybe another subscription would help because the payment makes it feel like you've put more skin in the game. Maybe you can afford $80 an hour for a weekly session with a professional coach! One thing is for sure, beng judgmental about how people go about improving themselves is a sure-fire way to kill their motivation. To that extent, I don't think your post constitutes good advice and it wouldn't be worth much even if you did charge for it.

      > One thing is for sure, beng judgmental about how people go about improving themselves is a sure-fire way to kill their motivation Key concept here: motivation. Motivation is not your friend. Motivation is getting you hooked and leaves you cold turkey. Become independent of motivation. Don't allow motivation to be your scapegoat or you master. Put $9 a month into a jar and do whatever you want with it if you need it as motivation. > If you're great at holding yourself accountable then maybe re-reading Getting Things Done every month will work for you, or you can just change things through sheer willpower If you aren't or you don't have a lot of willpower, then you are lost to the grace of your motivation? My next free advice: work on your willpower and self accountability. You brush your teeth every day, don't you? Why? Because you hold yourself accountabel. You don't need motivation for this, right? To simple an example? Yes, you are right. We all, myself included, fall apart on the big challenge. Why? Because they are challenging - and it is ok. Stand up and fail better. You aren't a quitter - how many hours of Eldenring are on your clock? Isn't it a damn frustrating game? Yes, until you fail better. Sometimes failing better needs time, research and/or training. Ok if you want to spend the money on ops game, more power to you, as long as it helps you to fail better, I give you that. To conclude: go cold turkey on motivation, learn to hold yourself accountable, improve on willpower and avoid its drains, be kind to yourself. You will fail in all of the above but you have to fail better everytime, thus be kind to yourself, its hard and its hard for all of us. Even when you're thinking it's easy for somebody else, it's not he is just doing it longer. Thanks for reading my blogpost.

        This is a pretty remarkable satire of your typical shelf help book, I give you that.

  And for Italians it should rather cost 2EUR/months jsut with smaller font size, for Germans it would rather be 6EUR , however you will need to accept cash.
