People who compete in the Olympics had to work very hard to get there. People who manage their time needed to learn how to do so, and then actually do it.
Like Nike said, "Just Do It." There is no secret. Nothing you learn will make this magically happen. Just do it. There is no shortcut.
It takes some people decades to learn this. Others seem to know it subconsciously and appear to live a charmed life. The secret is that there is no secret. Just do it.
- nostrebored 4y agoThere is a secret: setting your life up to make “just doing it” more likely to happen. I live by work to make sure I have no excuse to not start my day. I find someone at an office to go to the gym with me at lunch, and people at the gym who are there at the same time. I grab food with other people who I know are healthy. I pick up my son, who I also make sure goes to school near work and home, and put down my phone when I’m with him. Work from home makes only one of those things simple and self reinforcing. Without a standard office I often feel like my life is falling apart. And I’m not the only one! I fully expect sentiment on wfh to come full circle within the next two years.
