1) There are two types of growth. Which one are you following? (Via James Clear)​

Growth isn't linear. Most areas of life follow one of two growth curves.

Gains come quickly initially but decrease/slow down over time.

Examples of logarithmic growth

• Weight loss
• Writing
• Programming
• Most skills in fact

b) Exponential growth

Gains come slowly at first but snowball swiftly over time.

Examples of exponential growth

• Investments/wealth/business growth
• Website traffic
• Social media followers

Why should you care about this?

So that you don't get frustrated or confused next time you start a new project/hobby/endeavour and the growth isn't what you expected.

Now you are in a better position to set expectations.​

3 ideas to think about

1) You really only have about 5 hours to be properly productive during the day. After that time frame you become increasingly distracted.

So, try not to be disappointed in yourself when you're 5 hours in and can't focus anymore.

You're not lazy.

You're just lazy after 5 hours, like the rest of us.

Give yourself a break.

2) Dear creator, everything is a remix. Get good at stealing, combining, and adapting. You'll find your own lane that way.

3) Get into a flow and don't slow down. Turn on "Do Not Disturb" and use my deep focus playlist to get in the zone faster.
