The pain of procrastination vs the pain of action
Hi,
The queen of consistency is back 💀. Even though I announced that I’d be posting this weekly email newsletter every Sunday, here I am on Monday, trying to write it before Monday ends so that I can keep continuing to believe that it’s still Sunday somewhere in the world (I looked up and it’s already Monday in all around the globe 🥲).
A couple of days ago, I was chatting with one of my closest friends, Matt. He called me after he finished a 20-mile (32,18km) run. Yes, you read it right. 20 MILES!!!! We were updating each other about our lives, and since he hadn’t uploaded a video for two months, I asked him how Youtube was going. From there, we started talking about procrastination, and I told him, ‘Matt, you run 20 miles. Filming a Youtube video is much easier than running that much. The pain of procrastination is much worse than the pain of action.’ What great advice. I should start listening to my advice, maybe 💩.
My own advice reminded me of one of my favorite quotes.
We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.
After reminding myself, I tried to analyze what led me to procrastinate. After figuring out some patterns in my procrastination circle, I recognized some habits I probably should quit. However, as we all know, habit-building/quitting is much more complicated than it sounds. So I started reading some books and research papers about it to learn more deeply. The more I read, the more interesting it gets. Since there is so much helpful information to share, I decided to create a Habit building masterclass on Skillshare. One of the things I like the most about being a content creator is that you get paid to learn anything that fits your niche literally. You learn new stuff, create content, and make money out of it. Literally the dream job✨. (Thank you so much for supporting ✌️) I’m planning to release the course in December so that we can smash our new year’s resolutions🍾. With that being said, stay tuned 😉.

"Your entire life is a risk. You're not getting out alive!". I wasn't sure who said that, but googling led me to a speech of Jim Rohn, so I'll be giving him credits xD
Anyway, there's a risk in everything, right? Things may happen if you try something, things may happen if you don't try something. At least we can choose whick risks to take, or which pain to endure, according to our goals.
That's all folks!
(actually, there's that famous quote as well "Do or do not. There is no try". Talk about assertiveness, huh?)
Thank you so much ruri
