If you want actionable advice, forget about motivation and stick to discipline instead.
- mordnis 1y agoI feel that way as well. When I'm thinking about what I like and dislike, it just makes me procrastinate and feel miserable. Life is much more enjoyable when I think about duties I have and how to fulfill them.

- balfirevic 1y agoCan you expand? What's actionable about it?
- danielbln 1y agoIt isn't, and it especially isn't for people with ADHD. "Just do it" is like "Don't be sad"
- MattGrommes 1y agoAbsolutely. But you can combine motivation and discipline. Over time I've made my morning exercise into "just what I do" in the morning by having discipline as best as I can. But it sure does help to have a good show or the next part of a movie to look forward to while I do it.
- watwut 1y agoThat is almost guaranteed way to fail and burn out.
- nradov 1y agoNope. Burn out is an orthogonal issue and has nothing to do with discipline versus motivational techniques.
