Consistently Inconsistent

The Art of Doing Nothing Productive.

I’ve heard the rule where if your practice something for at least 21 days, it can become a habit. Now I know why I have the habit of sleeping so much, 21 day old me spent her time on the wrong thing– sleeping.

There are a couple of things we love to blame work-related indiscipline on like bad parenting (‘my parents didn’t install the right characters in me’, yeah because you’re a solar panel, come let me change that), the economy (I say this with an eyelid twitching) and lots more.

I’d like to highlight a special one. In our day and age where the internet has become the order of every hour, that blame can also be somewhat shared with overconsumption.

In case you’re wondering, we’ve reached the point of this piece where you give me a round of applause for dropping some real ground breaking shit (a poor substitute for the word ‘truth’) you already knew.

Yeah, you already knew it and is still a victim to it.

Remember what I said about 21 days? I’d like to ask, how many days have you spent at least 6 hours aim(less/fully) scrolling on your phone?

Lmfao,

Don’t even start thinking of a 21 days social media detox program because you’re going to blackslide so hard after you resume your consumption again. That is beside the point, the point is to encourage consistent consistency.

Consistent consistency is a state where you get to DO, not think, not learn. F$@:!)g do it!

Afterall, you’ve done  ‘learning’ long enough that it’s become a drug to you. It’s become a sort of way for you to feel you’ve made progress without actually touching it, even with a 20ft long pole.

It’s the same case with ‘organizing things’ it’s like continuously laying your bed but never lying on it. We live in an age where we have a lot of material on ‘how to…’ that we fall in love and get addicted to the process of learning and never actually take that step.

We deceive ourselves with the progress of ‘equipping yourself with more knowledge’ to escape the actually work. Kudos to us for attaining such prominent height of self-deceit, only not-so-progressive people have managed to master that.

We low-key mentally cosplay as productive people.

You waste more time, tell yourself more lies about how you don’t know enough yet when in actual truth you do, you know enough to start, to get the motion in and like they say, motion… motion is what brings success.

Kindly take a step.

I know starting makes failure a possibility, and that the fantasy version of yourself is about to meet reality but it’s the first step towards achieving what you truly desire.

At the end of the day we are all consistent with something and you get to pick, is it working towards your goals or training to work towards your goals.
