Feels lonely ➡️ Find others on a similar path and be vulnerable.
No motivation ➡️ Show up and start anyways; mood follows action.
Self-doubt ➡️ Welcome to the club.
Tired ➡️ Stop sacrificing sleep.
Feel totally stuck ➡️ Ask for help.
Are we there yet? ➡️ No, be patient; quit thinking about a destination and start thinking about a process.
Crappy string of days ➡️ Happens to everyone; the weather changes.
Relapse into old ways ➡️ Don't be too hard on yourself. Accept what happened, adjust, try again.
Getting sucked into quick fixes ➡️ Bro-science is not real science. Stress, rest, grow.
Compulsion leading to overwork ➡️ Set firm boundaries.
Addicted to relevance ➡️ Again: stop checking that shit. Leave your computer in the car. Turn off your phone. Disable the daily dashboard.
Hard and smart work + love + process focus is the way to go.
